I want to fetch enum attributes in a module using AttriBaseType and print it's elements.
Basically I want to know the usage of AttriBaseType in dxl.
For retrieving enum values, if you really want to use it explicitly, you can do it perhaps like this:
AttrType at
for at in current Module do {
print (at.name) " -- " (at.type) "\n"
AttrBaseType abt = at.type
if (abt == attrEnumeration) {
print "it is an " abt "\n"
int enumCount = at.size
int index
for (index = 0; index < enumCount; index++) {
// value, related number
print at.strings[index] ", " at.values[index] "\n"
}
print "\n"
}
}
I'm reading email headers (in Node.js, for those keeping score) and they are VARY varied. E-mail addresses in the to field look like:
"Jake Smart" <jake#smart.com>, jack#smart.com, "Development, Business" <bizdev#smart.com>
and a variety of other formats. Is there any way to parse all of this out?
Here's my first stab:
Run a split() on - to break up the different people into an array
For each item, see if there's a < or ".
If there's a <, then parse out the email
If there's a ", then parse out the name
For the name, if there's a ,, then split to get Last, First names.
If I first do a split on the ,, then the Development, Business will cause a split error. Spaces are also inconsistent. Plus, there may be more e-mail address formats that come through in headers that I haven't seen before. Is there any way (or maybe an awesome Node.js library) that will do all of this for me?
There's a npm module for this - mimelib (or mimelib-noiconv if you are on windows or don't want to compile node-iconv)
npm install mimelib-noiconv
And the usage would be:
var mimelib = require("mimelib-noiconv");
var addressStr = 'jack#smart.com, "Development, Business" <bizdev#smart.com>';
var addresses = mimelib.parseAddresses(addressStr);
console.log(addresses);
// [{ address: 'jack#smart.com', name: '' },
// { address: 'bizdev#smart.com', name: 'Development, Business' }]
The actual formatting for that is pretty complicated, but here is a regex that works. I can't promise it always will work though. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2822#page-15
const str = "...";
const pat = /(?:"([^"]+)")? ?<?(.*?#[^>,]+)>?,? ?/g;
let m;
while (m = pat.exec(str)) {
const name = m[1];
const mail = m[2];
// Do whatever you need.
}
I'd try and do it all in one iteration (performance). Just threw it together (limited testing):
var header = "\"Jake Smart\" <jake#smart.com>, jack#smart.com, \"Development, Business\" <bizdev#smart.com>";
alert (header);
var info = [];
var current = [];
var state = -1;
var temp = "";
for (var i = 0; i < header.length + 1; i++) {
var c = header[i];
if (state == 0) {
if (c == "\"") {
current.push(temp);
temp = "";
state = -1;
} else {
temp += c;
}
} else if (state == 1) {
if (c == ">") {
current.push(temp);
info.push (current);
current = [];
temp = "";
state = -1;
} else {
temp += c;
}
} else {
if (c == "<"){
state = 1;
} else if (c == "\"") {
state = 0;
}
}
}
alert ("INFO: \n" + info);
For something complete, you should port this to JS: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/RJBS/Email-Address-1.895/lib/Email/Address.pm
It gives you all the parts you need. The tricky bit is just the set of regexps at the start.
I am using the JSON2 library in order to use JSON.stringify to send some JSON data to my MVC controller.
When I include another script in my view (Telerik MVC) I start to get script conflicts when using IE7.
When I click the refresh button in the grid, I get the following error:
Line: 191
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
String.prototype.toJSON =
Number.prototype.toJSON =
Boolean.prototype.toJSON = function (key) {
return this.valueOf();
};
The error occurs on the following line specifically:
return this.valueOf();
Does anyone have any insight into why this conflict is occurring and how to resolve it? Specifically, why would this work in IE8/Chrome but fail in IE7. What would cause the error? Are both scripts trying to define the same method and that's why it is failing or is it impossible to tell without digging through tons of code?
Edit:
This is the json2.js library I am speaking of: https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js
Probably the reply is too late, but I thought it's worth replying as this might save some valuable lives ;)
The JSON2 script won't initialize/extend the JSON object if there is an existing implementation(Native or Included). However if the JSON object does not exist, the script will create that object and attach few methods to it (JSON.stringify and JSON.parse to be precise). However in order to make those methods to work, there are other objects (like Date, String, Number and Boolean objects) which need to be extended to support certain methods (like toJSON method). The JSON2 script takes care of extending the required objects as well.
Now coming to the specific issue here (Telerik MVC). I faced the same problem while working with Telerik for one of the Projects. However I was able to trace it. The probable cause is the conflict between Telerik scripts and the current JSON2 script. The Date and Boolean Objects' toJSON method somehow conflicts with Telerik's implmentation of the same method for those two objects which breaks the Telerik script at some places. I have modified the JSON2 library for a more robust check which doesn't fail in any scenario (even on use of Telerik MVC on the page). I have tested the script and it works fine for me, however in case someone finds any further conflicts, please reply back.

Note: The above code is not my implementation. It is from the source https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js I have just modified it a little to avoid any conflicts with Telerik or otherwise.
I have had exactly the same problem.
I couldn't find any other solution than to edit the json2.js file like you suggested, thanks for that.
However, I found that this would fix the issue for IE7 and still work in IE8/9 as well as firefox, but it now stopped working in Chrome ("this" for [this.valueOf === 'function'] is undefined).
Have you run into that issue, too, or did yours work in Chrome? I'm trying to figure out if this is related to my data or telerik-internal.
Thanks for your post!
Edit:
For now I have just returned null if "this" is undefined/null (in all three functions). Seems to work in all browsers and allows the Telerik grid to rebind without problems.
I don't know how correct this is in the global context of json2.js .toJSON method, though.
How can I compute a MD5 or SHA1 hash of text in a specific cell and set it to another cell in Google Spreadsheet?
Is there a formula like =ComputeMD5(A1) or =ComputeSHA1(A1)?
Or is it possible to write custom formula for this? How?
Open Tools > Script Editor then paste the following code:
function MD5 (input) {
var rawHash = Utilities.computeDigest(Utilities.DigestAlgorithm.MD5, input);
var txtHash = '';
for (i = 0; i < rawHash.length; i++) {
var hashVal = rawHash[i];
if (hashVal < 0) {
hashVal += 256;
}
if (hashVal.toString(16).length == 1) {
txtHash += '0';
}
txtHash += hashVal.toString(16);
}
return txtHash;
}
Save the script after that and then use the MD5() function in your spreadsheet while referencing a cell.
This script is based on Utilities.computeDigest() function.
Thanks to gabhubert for the code.
This is the SHA1 version of that code (very simple change)
function GetSHA1(input) {
var rawHash = Utilities.computeDigest(Utilities.DigestAlgorithm.SHA_1, input);
var txtHash = '';
for (j = 0; j <rawHash.length; j++) {
var hashVal = rawHash[j];
if (hashVal < 0)
hashVal += 256;
if (hashVal.toString(16).length == 1)
txtHash += "0";
txtHash += hashVal.toString(16);
}
return txtHash;
}
Ok, got it,
Need to create custom function as explained in
http://code.google.com/googleapps/appsscript/articles/custom_function.html
And then use the apis as explained in
http://code.google.com/googleapps/appsscript/service_utilities.html
I need to handtype the complete function name so that I can see the result in the cell.
Following is the sample of the code that gave base 64 encoded hash of the text
function getBase64EncodedMD5(text)
{
return Utilities.base64Encode( Utilities.computeDigest(Utilities.DigestAlgorithm.MD5, text));
}
The difference between this solution and the others is:
It fixes an issue some of the above solution have with offsetting the output of Utilities.computeDigest (it offsets by 128 instead of 256)
It fixes an issue that causes some other solutions to produce the same hash for different inputs by calling JSON.stringify() on input before passing it to Utilities.computeDigest()
function MD5(input) {
var result = "";
var byteArray = Utilities.computeDigest(Utilities.DigestAlgorithm.MD5, JSON.stringify(input));
for (i=0; i < byteArray.length; i++) {
result += (byteArray[i] + 128).toString(16) + "-";
}
result = result.substring(result, result.length - 1); // remove trailing dash
return result;
}
to get hashes for a range of cells, add this next to gabhubert's function:
function RangeGetMD5Hash(input) {
if (input.map) { // Test whether input is an array.
return input.map(GetMD5Hash); // Recurse over array if so.
} else {
return GetMD5Hash(input)
}
}
and use it in cell this way:
=RangeGetMD5Hash(A5:X25)
It returns range of same dimensions as source one, values will spread down and right from cell with formulae.
It's universal single-value-function to range-func conversion method (ref), and it's way faster than separate formuleas for each cell; in this form, it also works for single cell, so maybe it's worth to rewrite source function this way.
Based on #gabhubert but using array operations to get the hexadecimal representation
function sha(str){
return Utilities
.computeDigest(Utilities.DigestAlgorithm.SHA_1, str) // string to digested array of integers
.map(function(val) {return val<0? val+256 : val}) // correct the offset
.map(function(val) {return ("00" + val.toString(16)).slice(-2)}) // add padding and enconde
.join(''); // join in a single string
}
Using #gabhubert answer, you could do this, if you want to get the results from a whole row. From the script editor.
function GetMD5Hash(value) {
var rawHash = Utilities.computeDigest(Utilities.DigestAlgorithm.MD5, value);
var txtHash = '';
for (j = 0; j <rawHash.length; j++) {
var hashVal = rawHash[j];
if (hashVal < 0)
hashVal += 256;
if (hashVal.toString(16).length == 1)
txtHash += "0";
txtHash += hashVal.toString(16);
}
return txtHash;
}
function straightToText() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets();
var r = 1;
var n_rows = 9999;
var n_cols = 1;
var column = 1;
var sheet = ss[0].getRange(r, column, n_rows, ncols).getValues(); // get first sheet, a1:a9999
var results = [];
for (var i = 0; i < sheet.length; i++) {
var hashmd5= GetMD5Hash(sheet[i][0]);
results.push(hashmd5);
}
var dest_col = 3;
for (var j = 0; j < results.length; j++) {
var row = j+1;
ss[0].getRange(row, dest_col).setValue(results[j]); // write output to c1:c9999 as text
}
}
And then, from the Run menu, just run the function straightToText() so you can get your result, and elude the too many calls to a function error.
I was looking for an option that would provide a shorter result. What do you think about this? It only returns 4 characters. The unfortunate part is that it uses i's and o's which can be confused for L's and 0's respectively; with the right font and in caps it wouldn't matter much.
function getShortMD5Hash(input) {
var rawHash = Utilities.computeDigest(Utilities.DigestAlgorithm.MD5, input);
var txtHash = '';
for (j = 0; j < 16; j += 8) {
hashVal = (rawHash[j] + rawHash[j+1] + rawHash[j+2] + rawHash[j+3]) ^ (rawHash[j+4] + rawHash[j+5] + rawHash[j+6] + rawHash[j+7])
if (hashVal < 0)
hashVal += 1024;
if (hashVal.toString(36).length == 1)
txtHash += "0";
txtHash += hashVal.toString(36);
}
return txtHash.toUpperCase();
}
I needed to get a hash across a range of cells, so I run it like this:
function RangeSHA256(input)
{
return Array.isArray(input) ?
input.map(row => row.map(cell => SHA256(cell))) :
SHA256(input);
}
I have a string
Ex: "We prefer questions that can be answered; not just discussed "
now i want to split this string from ";"
like
We prefer questions that can be answered
and
not just discussed
is this possible in DXL.
i am learning DXL, so i don't have any idea whether we can split or not.
Note : This is not a home work.
I'm sorry for necroing this post. Being new to DXL I spent some time with the same challenge. I noticed that the implementations available on the have different specifications of "splitting" a string. Loving the Ruby language, I missed an implementation which comes at least close to the Ruby version of String#split.
Maybe my findings will be helpful to anybody.
Here's a functional comparison of
Variant A: niol's implementation (which at a first glance, appears to be the same implementation which is usually found at Capri Soft,
Variant B: PJT's implementation,
Variant C: Brett's implementation and
Variant D: my implementation (which provides the correct functionality imo).
To eliminate structural difference, all implementations were implemented in functions, returning a Skip list or an Array.
Splitting results
Note that all implementations return different results, depending on their definition of "splitting":
string mellow yellow; delimiter ello
splitVariantA returns 1 elements: ["mellow yellow" ]
splitVariantB returns 2 elements: ["m" "llow yellow" ]
splitVariantC returns 3 elements: ["w" "w y" "" ]
splitVariantD returns 3 elements: ["m" "w y" "w" ]
string now's the time; delimiter
splitVariantA returns 3 elements: ["now's" "the" "time" ]
splitVariantB returns 2 elements: ["" "now's the time" ]
splitVariantC returns 5 elements: ["time" "the" "" "now's" "" ]
splitVariantD returns 3 elements: ["now's" "the" "time" ]
string 1,2,,3,4,,; delimiter ,
splitVariantA returns 4 elements: ["1" "2" "3" "4" ]
splitVariantB returns 2 elements: ["1" "2,,3,4,," ]
splitVariantC returns 7 elements: ["" "" "4" "3" "" "2" "" ]
splitVariantD returns 7 elements: ["1" "2" "" "3" "4" "" "" ]
Timing
Splitting the string 1,2,,3,4,, with the pattern , for 10000 times on my machine gives these timings:
splitVariantA() : 406 ms
splitVariantB() : 46 ms
splitVariantC() : 749 ms
splitVariantD() : 1077 ms
Unfortunately, my implementation D is the slowest. Surprisingly, the regular expressions implementation C is pretty fast.

Quick join&split I could come up with. Seams to work okay.
int array_size(Array a){
int size = 0;
while( !null(get(a, size, 0) ) )
size++;
return size;
}
void array_push_str(Array a, string str){
int array_index = array_size(a);
put(a, str, array_index, 0);
}
string array_get_str(Array a, int index){
return (string get(a, index, 0));
}
string str_join(string joiner, Array str_array){
Buffer joined = create;
int array_index = 0;
joined += "";
for(array_index = 0; array_index < array_size(str_array); array_index++){
joined += array_get_str(str_array, array_index);
if( array_index + 1 < array_size(str_array) )
joined += joiner;
}
return stringOf(joined)
}
Array str_split(string splitter, string str){
Array tokens = create(1, 1);
Buffer buf = create;
int str_index;
buf = "";
for(str_index = 0; str_index < length(str); str_index++){
if( str[str_index:str_index] == splitter ){
array_push_str(tokens, stringOf(buf));
buf = "";
}else{
buf += str[str_index:str_index];
}
}
array_push_str(tokens, stringOf(buf));
delete buf;
return tokens;
}
If you only split the string once this is how I would do it:
string s = "We prefer questions that can be answered; not just discussed"
string sub = ";"
int offset
int len
if ( findPlainText(s, sub, offset, len, false)) {
/* the reason why I subtract one and add one is to remove the delimiter from the out put.
First print is to print the prefix and then second is the suffix.*/
print s[0 : offset -1]
print s[offset +1 :]
} else {
// no delimiter found
print "Failed to match"
}
You could also use regular expressions refer to the DXL reference manual. It would be better to use regular expressions if you want to split up the string by multiple delimiters such as str = "this ; is an;example"
ACTUALLY WORKS:
This solution will split as many times as needed, or none, if the delimiter doesn't exist in the string.
This is what I have used instead of a traditional "split" command.
It actually skips the creation of an array, and just loops through each string that would be in the array and calls "someFunction" on each of those strings.
string s = "We prefer questions that can be answered; not just discussed"
// for this example, ";" is used as the delimiter
Regexp split = regexp "^(.*);(.*)$"
// while a ";" exists in s
while (split s) {
// save the text before the last ";"
string temp_s = s[match 1]
// call someFunction on the text after the last ";"
someFunction(s[match 2])
// remove the text after the last ";" (including ";")
s = temp_s
}
// call someFunction again for the last (or only) string
someFunction(s)
Sorry for necroing an old post; I just didn't find the other answers useful.
Perhaps someone would find handy this fused solution as well. It splits string in Skip, based on delimiter, which can actually have length more then one.
Skip splitString(string s1, string delimit)
{
int offset, len
Skip splited = create
while(findPlainText(s1, delimit, offset, len, false))
{
put(splited, s1[0:offset-1], s1[0:offset-1])
s1 = s1[offset+length(delimit):length(s1)-1]
}
if(length(s1)>0)
{
put (splited, s1, s1)
}
return splited
}
I tried this out and worked out for me...
string s = "We prefer questions that can be answered,not just discussed,hiyas"
string sub = ","
int offset
int len
string s1=s
while(length(s1)>0){
if ( findPlainText(s1, sub, offset, len, false)) {
print s1[0 : offset -1]"\n"
s1= s1[offset+1:length(s1)]
}
else
{
print s1
s1=""
}
}
Here is a better implementation. This is a recursive split of the string by searching a keyword.
pragma runLim, 10000
string s = "We prefer questions that can be answered,not just discussed,hiyas;
Next Line,Var1,Nemesis;
Next Line,Var2,Nemesis1;
Next Line,Var3,Nemesis2;
New,Var4,Nemesis3;
Next Line,Var5,Nemesis4;
New,Var5,Nemesis5;"
string sub = ","
int offset
int len
string searchkey=null
string curr=s
string nxt=s
string searchline=null
string Modulename=""
string Attributename=""
string Attributevalue=""
while(findPlainText(curr,"Next Line", offset,len,false))
{
int intlen=offset
searchkey=curr[offset:length(curr)]
if(findPlainText(searchkey,"Next Line",offset,len,false))
{
curr=searchkey[offset+1:length(searchkey)]
}
if(findPlainText(searchkey,";",offset,len,false))
{
searchline=searchkey[0:offset]
}
int counter=0
while(length(searchline)>0)
{
if (findPlainText(searchline, sub, offset, len, false))
{
if(counter==0)
{
Modulename=searchline[0 : offset -1]
counter++
}
else if(counter==1)
{
Attributename=searchline[0 : offset -1]
counter++
}
searchline= searchline[offset+1:length(searchline)]
}
else
{
if(counter==2)
{
Attributevalue=searchline[0:length(searchline)-2]
counter++
}
searchline=""
}
}
print "Modulename="Modulename " Attributename=" Attributename " Attributevalue= "Attributevalue "\n"
}
