Add array of file names in Magick::ImageList - ruby-on-rails

I have an array that contains multiple file names of images.
file_name = ["/tmp/image_1.tiff","/tmp/image_2.tiff"]
When I do this operation Magick::ImageList.new(file_name), I get the following error message.
Magick::ImageMagickError Exception: unable to open image
`'/home/tmp/image_1.tiff','/home/tmp/image_2.tiff'': No such file or
directory # error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2712.
How to call multiple image files in a single imagelist?
Thanks in advance.

Try:
Magick::ImageList.new(*file_name)
With the * (or "splat") operator you can turn an Array into an argument list. When applied in your case you get:
Magick::ImageList.new(*["/tmp/image_1.tiff","/tmp/image_2.tiff"])

List of files in flutter

I have images and I want to load them to my appplication.
my_app/lib/... - here my source files
my_app/assets/images/... - here my images
I need to get list of files in assets/images/ and after that show some of them (according to other logic)
I'm trying this
final dir = Directory("assets/images/");
print(dir.existsSync()); // <---- it also print: false
var files = dir.listSync().toList();
files.forEach((e) => list.add(MyImageItem(e.path)));
The problem is: I recieve exception
FileSystemException: Directory listing failed, path = 'assets/images/'
(OS Error: No such file or directory, errno = 2)
I've tried different ways: assets/images/, images/, images and so on
My pubspec.yaml
flutter:
assets:
- assets/images/
- assets/
When I create Image directly all is fine
new Image(image: AssetImage("assets/images/cat.png"))
I knew that previously (month ago) each resource has to be declared in pubspec.yaml directly, but now assets/images/ is ok.
I can load file by direct path. Why I can't access a directory? How to get list of files in directory to get them from my code?
When you add files to your assets, it means that you already know their paths.
Store all the images paths in a list and access them whenever you need.
For example if you have 3 images in
your_app/assets/images/image1.jpg
your_app/assets/images/image2.jpg
your_app/assets/images/image3.jpg
create a list and store all of them like:
List<String> imagePaths = ['assets/images/image1.jpg', 'assets/images/image2.jpg', 'assets/images/image3.jpg'];
and for example if you want to access your first image, use
AssetImage(imagePaths[0])
I keep a json file inside assets which records the file tree of assets folder.
When file list is needed, I just read from the json file.
Such json file can be easily generated by code.
However, this does not solve your problem directly when u have 5-10k images.
Only one json file might be too large to read.
Images should be grouped and recorded in separated json files.

File object from URL

I'd like to create a file object from an image located at a specific url. I'm downloading the file with Net Http:
img = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse('https://prium-solutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/rails-1.png'))
file = File.read(img.body)
However, I get ArgumentError: string contains null byte when trying to read the file and store in into the file variable.
How can I do this without having to store it locally ?
Since File deals with reading from storage, it's really not applicable here. The read method is expecting you to hand it a location to read from, and you're passing in binary data.
If you have a situation where you need to interface with a library that expects an object that is streaming, you can wrap the string body in a StringIO object:
file = StringIO.new(img)
# you can now call file.read, file.seek, file.rewind, etc.

Command line args in F# fsx

I run my .fsx file like
>fsi A.fsx
In this file I read csv with CsvProvider that has to have path to csv data.
type Data = CsvProvider<"my_data.txt", ";", Schema
I need to pass file name as command line argument and it is possible
>fsi A.fsx my_data.txt
I can read it like
let originalPath = fsi.CommandLineArgs.ElementAt(1)
Problem is, that file name used in CsvProvider constructor needs to be constant and command line argument is not. How I can initialize CsvProvider from command line argument?
The value inside the angle brackes <"my_data.txt"...> specifies an example format file and is checked at compile time, hence the need for it to be a constant string. Assuming your .fsx script merely wants to load a different CSV file of the same general format, you would use
let contents = Data.Load(originalPath)

Writing a file to a specific path in ruby taking the file name from excel

I am having some trouble writing a file to a specific path taking the file name from excel. Here is the code which I am using
out_file = File.new (#temp_path/ "#{obj_info[3].to_s}","w")
"#{obj_info[3].to_s}" = sample.txt
The value sample.txt comes from Excel during run time
#temp_path = "C:/Users/Somefolder/"
The error displayed is:
NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
However, if the code is:
out_file = File.new ("#{obj_info[3].to_s}","w")
it successfully creates a file called sample.txt in the default directory. However, I want it to be stored in a specific directory and the file name needs to be passed from Excel.
Any help is much appreciated.
I believe your problem is because there a space between / and "
#temp_path/ "#{obj_info[3].to_s}
and I guess you want to build a path.
My advice is that you use File.join
f_path = File.join(#temp_path,obj_info[3].to_s)
out_file = File.new (f_path,"w")
Let me know if that solved the problem
You have 2 problems:
obj_info is nil so you make an error reading the value from excel, the error you get indicates it is on an array, in the code you published the only thing that's an array is what you read from excel.
Print the contents with p obj_info right before your code to check.
#temp_path and {obj_info[3].to_s} need to be concatenated to make a path.
You can do that with File.join like Mauricio suggests or like this
out_file = File.new ("#{#temp_path}/#{obj_info[3]}","w")
You can drop the to_s in this case.
It would be better if you publish the whole of your script that is meaningful.

load file in lua

I have directory that contain multiple file
i need to load on specified file.
i know i can use loadfile(path) but how i need to specify which file to load
thank you
Jp
I'm not 100% sure I understand what you are asking, but here's my take on it. If you know the directory you need to load the file from, you'd just prefix it to the name of the file:
local f, error = loadfile(mydir .. "/my_file")
Note that this reads and parses the file. To actually execute it, you need to invoke the function you get back from loadfile() (so f() in this example). If there is an error, loadfile() returns nil and an error message.
path = "./path/to/a/file.lua"
local myreturn1, myreturn2 --[[etc]] = assert(loadfile(path))(myarg1, myarg2, myarg3 --[[etc]])
