Parsing the Logical expression

Sometimes you need to parse the logical expression.

I have made for my own purposes the regular expression which would distringuish all important tokens from the logical expression:
([\(!\s]*)[\s]*([^<=\s]+)[\s]*(<>|!=|==|<=|>=|<|>)[\s]*([^\s&|\)]*)[\s]*([\)]*)(&&|\|\|)?
or as java string:
"([\\(!\\s]*)[\\s]*([^<=\\s]+)[\\s]*(<>|!=|==|<=|>=|<|>)[\\s]*([^\\s&|\\)]*)[\\s]*([\\)]*)(&&|\\|\\|)?"

this would give for

 !(! (one== 56) && two>45) || !three!=funny
the following solution
Regular Expression ([\(!\s]*)[\s]*([^<=\s]+)[\s]*(<>|!=|==|<=|>=|<|>)[\s]*([^\s&|\)]*)[\s]*([\)]*)(&&|\|\|)?
as a Java string "([\\(!\\s]*)[\\s]*([^<=\\s]+)[\\s]*(<>|!=|==|<=|>=|<|>)[\\s]*([^\\s&|\\)]*)[\\s]*([\\)]*)(&&|\\|\\|)?"
Replacement $1fieldValue(\"$2\")$3$4$5$6
groupCount() 6
Test Target String matches() replaceFirst() replaceAll() lookingAt() find() group(0) group(1) group(2) group(3) group(4) group(5) group(6)
1 !(! (one== 56) && two>45) || !three!=funny No !(! (fieldValue("one")==56) && two>45) || !three!=funny !(! (fieldValue("one")==56) && fieldValue("two")>45) || !fieldValue("three")!=funny Yes Yes !(! (one== 56) !(! ( one == 56 ) null
next find() Yes two>45) two > 45 ) null
next find() Yes !three!=funny ! three != funny null

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems. -Jamie Zawinski

Timeline on Latex

One of nicer looking timeline graphs for Latex is by using the chronology package This is the example: \usepackage{chronology} ... \begin{chronology}[5]{1983}{2010}{3ex}{\textwidth} \event{1984}{one} \event[1985]{1986}{two} \event{\decimaldate{25}{12}{2001}}{three} \end{chronology} source .

Exporting Skype Chat/Skype Contacts to csv file using the shell script and sqlite3 (usually already installed on mac)

Edit: a very first draft version of Skype Exporter have been made and released. https://github.com/renesto/SkypeExportSwift/releases check it, and report any issues to renesto-at-gmail.com I heard there are not so many nice ways to get the chat history from skype, so I came across a page of one guy who shows a way to open the sql chat history database and delete all conversations. I thought to make something more from that idea (as delete chat history is now one of the options in skype) Create a file exportFromSkype.sh place either this text: sqlite3 -batch "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Skype/$1/main.db" < <EOF .mode csv .output $2.csv select * from Messages where dialog_partner = '$2'; .output stdout .exit EOF now make the script executable by running chmod +x exportFromSkype.sh now, when you want to export some chat history from certain person, you can do it by: sh exportFromSkype.sh your_skype_name your_friends_skype_name and i

trim() not supported by IE7 and IE8

Funny fact, trim function is not supported by IE7 and IE8. Ok, it is supported, but through jQuery trim function. So, when you have something like this: jQuery(...).attr().trim() , this trim() function stops having any relation to jQuery, as the attr() would return String type, which method would be then trim(). Since IE7 and IE8 do not support trim() method within String type, you should use instead jQuery.trim(jQuery(...).attr()) or if you don't wanna use jQuery (whyyyy?), you can simply implement the trim function youself. if(typeof String.prototype.trim !== 'function') { String.prototype.trim = function() { return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ''); } } http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif source 1 source 2
