I have taken over this ColdFusion project and found that I need a value out of a database field that includes HTML. The field data looks like this (without the new lines):
<wddxPacket version="1.0">
<header />
<data>
<struct>
<var name="en">
<string>3 Nights' Lodging</string>
</var>
<var name="sp">
<string>3 Noches alojamiento</string>
</var>
</struct>
</data>
</wddxPacket>
I am wanting to use this data but I only need the text between the:
<var name='en'><string>3 Nights' Lodging</string></var>
I used a function that ColdFusion has to remove HTML:
#REReplaceNoCase(pkg.title, "<[^><]*>", '', 'ALL')#
But when I use that, I get something like this:
3 Nights' Lodging3 Noches alojamiento
All I want is:
3 Nights' Lodging
Examining the beginning of the string, ie <wddxPacket ...> it is actually WDDX.
If you do a search for ColdFusion + WDDX you will find the documentation for CFWDDX. It is a built in tag which supports conversions of WDDX strings to CFML objects (and vice versa) for easier manipulation. In your case use action="wddx2cfml" to convert the string back into a CF structure.
<cfwddx action="wddx2cfml" input="#text#" output="result">
<cfdump var="#result#" label="Raw object">
Then use the key #result.en# to grab the string you want.

I tried using linecontainsregexp within filterchain ant-task by framing regexp pattern holding unique server name say 'act1' & now property holds value like this:
<Server name="act1" value="ServerName" port="1234"></Server>
How to get individual attribute names?. For eg if I want to get port #, how to retrieve it. I tried with something like:
<propertyregex property="extracted.prop" input="${server.details}"
regexp="(.*)\\ *##" select="\1" />
thank you.
The code below should work to extract each of the three attributes. First, notice that I'm loading the entire xml file. It isn't necessary to extract the specific line as you were doing. Secondly, I wrote it to be flexible enough to allow line breaks in the Server properties and to allow any order of the attributes.
I see that you were really struggling with the regex in particular. For your understanding, I'll break down the first regex:
(?s) // DOTALL flag. Causes the . wildcard to match newlines.
\x3c // The < character. For reasons I don't understand, `propertyregex` doesn't allow <
Server // Match 'Server' literally
.*? // Reluctantly consume characters until...
name= // 'name=' is reached
" // Because ant is an XML file, we must use this escape sequence for "
(.*?) // Reluctantly grab all characters in a capturing group until...
" // another double quote is reached.
And finally the XML:
<loadfile property="server.details" srcfile="${baseDir}/build/myTest.xml"/>
<propertyregex property="server.name"
input="${server.details}"
regexp="(?s)\x3cServer.*?name="(.*?)""
select="\1" />
<propertyregex property="server.value"
input="${server.details}"
regexp="(?s)\x3cServer.*?value="(.*?)""
select="\1" />
<propertyregex property="server.port"
input="${server.details}"
regexp="(?s)\x3cServer.*?port="(.*?)""
select="\1" />
I am having a problem in date format conversion while I am exporting data from MySQL to CSV.
I am using scriptelaa.1.1, the latest one I guess.
Here is my etl.properties file:
driver=mysql
url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/<my_DB_name>
user=<user_name>
password=<password>
classpath=/path/to/mysql-connector-java-5.1.19.jar;
here is my etl.xml file:
<!DOCTYPE etl SYSTEM "http://scriptella.javaforge.com/dtd/etl.dtd">
<etl>
<description>Scriptella ETL File Template.</description>
<properties>
<include href="/path/to/etl.properties"/> <!--Load from external properties file-->
</properties>
<!-- Connection declarations -->
<connection id="in" driver="${driver}" url="${url}" user="${user}" password="${password}" classpath="$classpath">
</connection>
<connection id="out" driver="csv" url="report.csv">
#Use empty quote to turn off quoting
quote=
null_string=\\N
format.dob.type=date
format.dob.pattern=yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
</connection>
<query connection-id="in">
SELECT * FROM test;
<script connection-id="out">
$1,$2,$3,$4
</script>
</query>
</etl>
dob is my column name in MySQL table, it is datetime type column there.
Now when I export the data from MySQL the time comes in the format yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S
But I want yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss, so I have used
format.dob.type=date
format.dob.pattern=yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
As it is suggested scriptella.1.1 has the feature and to use it, in the following link:
http://scriptella.javaforge.com/reference/index.html
But it is not working.
Can anyone help me out.
Thanks. :)
Formatting rules are applied to the variable name, therefore exactly the same variable name should be used for both format description and the expansion placeholder. In your cause, try using $dob instead of the column number.
Hello I wasn't quite sure how to title this question, but I'll explain why I'm trying to do.
First of all, I have a folder that contains SQL scripts in a specific format, which is updateXtoY.sql, where X and Y are integers. What I need is to know which Y is the highest number. (basically, to know which is the latest script)
So if I have in my folder "scripts/" 3 files:
update3to5.sql
update2to5.sql
update1to6.sql
the result I need is to have assign a property 'latest.version' the value of 6.
From that point I can easily run the script. So the problem I have is 3-fold:
1- How to load the file names into a data structure.
2- How to iterate over the data structure.
3- How to evaluate each file name so that I can extract the "Y" part of the file and get the highest value. (I'm reading on regex right now)
I'm new to ANT and I'm not sure if this is possible and/or feasible.
Thanks for any suggestions.
The first part of the task - getting the filenames into a 'structure' is best done using a FileSet - say for SQL scripts in a directory called scripts:
<fileset dir="scripts" includes="*.sql" id="versions" />
That creates an Ant resource collection that can be referred to using the id versions.
The collection knows about your SQL script files.
Using (as you suggest) a regexp mapper, we can convert the set of files into a collection of strings, holding just the version parts from the filenames:
<mappedresources id="versions">
<fileset dir="scripts" includes="*.sql" />
<regexpmapper from="update.*to(.*).sql" to="\1" />
</mappedresources>
In this example versions now holds a 'list', which would be "5,5,6" for your example files.
It gets trickier now, because you probably need to carry out a numeric sort on what is a list of strings - to avoid 10 sorting as 'less' than 9. Ant ships with an embbeded Javascript interpreter, so you could use that to find the maximum. Another option would be to make use of the numeric sorting capability that ant-contrib has to offer.
Here's a Javascript 'max finder':
<scriptdef name="numeric_max" language="javascript">
<attribute name="property" />
<attribute name="resources_id" />
<![CDATA[
var iter = project.getReference(
attributes.get( "resources_id" )
).iterator( );
var max_n = 0.0;
while ( iter.hasNext() )
{
var n = parseFloat( iter.next() );
if ( n > max_n ) max_n = n;
}
project.setProperty( attributes.get( "property" ), max_n );
]]>
</scriptdef>
That defines a new Ant XML entity - numeric_max - that looks like a task, and can be used to find the numeric maximum of a collection of strings.
It's not perfect - there's no validation of the strings, and I've used floats rather than ints.
Combining that with the mappedresources above:
<mappedresources id="versions">
<fileset dir="scripts" includes="*.sql" />
<regexpmapper from="update.*to(.*).sql" to="\1" />
</mappedresources>
<numeric_max property="latest.version" resources_id="versions" />
<echo message="Latest SQL script version: ${latest.version}." />
When I run that with your three files I get:
[echo] Latest SQL script version: 6.
I've been trying to create a batch update program for a MOSS site, based on the MSDN example here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc404818.aspx. Unfortunately, although the update query is running through with no errors, the data in the list is not changing.
Here is the batch command I use:
<Method ID="3767">
<SetList>8468cf0a-7e10-439c-a9b4-4197543e7b38</SetList>
<SetVar Name="Cmd">Save</SetVar>
<SetVar Name="ID">3767</SetVar>
<SetVar Name="Date_x0020_of_x0020_Birth1">1971-12-18T00:00:00Z</SetVar>
</Method>
Upon running the batch update command:
string batchReturn = web.ProcessBatchData(batch);
returns:
<Results>
<Result ID="3767" Code="0"></Result>
</Results>
The major version number on the list item is incremented, but no changes are made to the data in field: Date_x0020_of_x0020_Birth1
I'm stumped.
More background: Date_x0020_of_x0020_Birth1 is a new field added to the default content type fo this list. It is a DateTime field. It supercedes the original Date_x0020_of_x0020_Birth field (now has a display name of "Date of Birth(Text)") which was a text field, dues o it containing values prior to 01/01/1900. The batch update is to copy dates from the text field to the new DateTime field where possible.
The only thing I can think off is that I'm using:
<SetVar Name="Cmd">Save</SetVar>
Perhaps I need the "Update" or "Save" command, so I tried this:
<Method ID="1" Cmd="Update">
<Field Name='ID'>3767</Field>
<Field Name="Date_x0020_of_x0020_Birth1">1971-12-18T00:00:00Z</Field>
</Method>
But that returns:
<Results>37671971-12-18T00:00:00Z<Result ID="1" Code="-2130575350">
<ErrorText>Invalid URL Parameter
The URL provided contains an invalid Command or Value. Please check the URL again.
</ErrorText>
</Result>
3767Date_x0020_of_x0020_Birth1
<Result ID="1" Code="-2147023673">
<ErrorText>The operation failed because an unexpected error occurred. (Result Code: 0x800704c7)</ErrorText>
</Result>
</Results>
"Update" is the right CMD, and it sounds like the update is occuring fine (updating the version number).
That just leaves the field, and it is probably the "Name" you are using.
Did you try using the urn prefix (urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Date_x0020_of_x0020_Birth1)
Can you try updating a different field, like the title. (urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Title)
If that all fails you could try using the UpdateListItems on the lists.asmx
I'm trying to change values in my application.properties file and I'm running into issues with an extra "\" character when trying to substitute url addresses. It doesn't happen when I'm replacing regular text.
Here's the section of the properties file I'm attempting to modify:
# Web Info
web.url=http://www.testaddress.com
web.user=TestAccount
Here's the section of my script that's not working correctly:
<propertyfile file="application.properties">
<entry key="web.url" operation="=" value="${webaddress}" />
<entry key="web.user" operation="=" value="${username}" />
</propertyfile>
What happens is that the web.user is replaced just fine but the address comes out looking like so:
# Web Info
web.url=http\://www.realaddress.com
web.user=RealAccount
I can't account for the backslash, if I echo the ${webaddress} variable it doesn't have it. Any idea as to what may be going on?
Thanks.
Check out the "store" method of the Properties object. The javadoc specifically states:
The key and element characters #, !,
=, and : are written with a preceding backslash to ensure that they are
properly loaded.
