re.findall(r"[0-9]{2,3}", "some 1 text 12 is 945 here 4445588899") # Out: ['12', '945', '444', '558', '889'] Note that the r before "[0-9]{2,3}" tells python to interpret the string as-is; as a "raw" string. You could also use re.finditer() which works in...

Given some JSON file "foo.json" like: {"foo": {"bar": {"baz": 1}}} we can call the module directly from the command line (passing the filename as an argument) to pretty-print it: $ python -m json.tool foo.json { "foo": { "bar...

To create a variable in Python, all you need to do is specify the variable name, and then assign a value to it. <variable name> = <value> Python uses = to assign values to variables. There's no need to declare a variable in advance (or to assign a data type to it), assigning a value ...

Install the svn client to start collaborating on the project that is using Subversion as its version control system. To install Subversion, you can build it yourself from a source code release or download a binary package pre-built for your operating system. The list of sites where you can obtain a...

A lookbehind can be used at the end of a pattern to ensure it ends or not in a certain way. ([a-z ]+|[A-Z ]+)(?<! ) matches sequences of only lowercase or only uppercase words while excluding trailing whitespace.

Ruby offers the expected if and else expressions for branching logic, terminated by the end keyword: # Simulate flipping a coin result = [:heads, :tails].sample if result == :heads puts 'The coin-toss came up "heads"' else puts 'The coin-toss came up "tails"' end ...

In Ruby, there are exactly two values which are considered "falsy", and will return false when tested as a condition for an if expression. They are: nil boolean false All other values are considered "truthy", including: 0 - numeric zero (Integer or otherwise) "&qu...

The Problem The abstract equality and inequality operators (== and !=) convert their operands if the operand types do not match. This type coercion is a common source of confusion about the results of these operators, in particular, these operators aren't always transitive as one would expect. &...

InterruptedException is a confusing beast - it shows up in seemingly innocuous methods like Thread.sleep(), but handling it incorrectly leads to hard-to-manage code that behaves poorly in concurrent environments. At its most basic, if an InterruptedException is caught it means someone, somewhere, c...

use feature qw( say ); # Numbers are true if they're not equal to 0. say 0 ? 'true' : 'false'; # false say 1 ? 'true' : 'false'; # true say 2 ? 'true' : 'false'; # true say -1 ? 'true' : 'false'; # true say 1-1 ? 'true' : 'false'; # fa...

The pipe operator, %>%, is used to insert an argument into a function. It is not a base feature of the language and can only be used after attaching a package that provides it, such as magrittr. The pipe operator takes the left-hand side (LHS) of the pipe and uses it as the first argument of the ...

You can indent the text inside here documents with tabs, you need to use the <<- redirection operator instead of <<: $ cat <<- EOF This is some content indented with tabs `\t`. You cannot indent with spaces you __have__ to use tabs. Bash will remove empty space befo...

Use putAll to put every member of one map into another. Keys already present in the map will have their corresponding values overwritten. Map<String, Integer> numbers = new HashMap<>(); numbers.put("One", 1) numbers.put("Three", 3) Map<String, Integer> othe...

If you want to get the versioned project's data, but you don't need any of the version control capabilities offered by Subversion, you could run svn export <URL> command. Here is an example: $ svn export https://svn.example.com/svn/MyRepo/MyProject/trunk As a result, you will get the proje...

A a pointer to a piece of memory containing n elements may only be dereferenced if it is in the range memory and memory + (n - 1). Dereferencing a pointer outside of that range results in undefined behavior. As an example, consider the following code: int array[3]; int *beyond_array = array + 3; ...

Since Groups are "numbered" some engines also support matching what a group has previously matched again. Assuming you wanted to match something where two equals strings of length three are divided by a $ you'd use: (.{3})\$\1 This would match any of the following strings: "abc$...

Evaluates its first operand, and, if the resulting value is not equal to zero, evaluates its second operand. Otherwise, it evaluates its third operand, as shown in the following example: a = b ? c : d; is equivalent to: if (b) a = c; else a = d; This pseudo-code represents it : c...

See full documentation on LIKE operator. This example uses the Employees Table from the Example Databases. SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE FName LIKE 'John' This query will only return Employee #1 whose first name matches 'John' exactly. SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE FName like 'John%' Ad...

The background-image property is used to specify a background image to be applied to all matched elements. By default, this image is tiled to cover the entire element, excluding margin. .myClass { background-image: url('/path/to/image.jpg'); } To use multiple images as background-image, defi...
