Harzilein .split(/suffix/, 2).first ?
Clooth joined #ruby
jimmy1980 joined #ruby
<Harzilein>
mxweas: why the 2?
<mxweas>
optimization. Once the array hits two elements it stops
<davidcelis>
return :x for summing them?
<mxweas>
so after the first split, since you're just calling .first anyway
<Harzilein>
and i forgot about first, split(/foo$/)[0] would not look nicer than sub(/foo$/){}

i've been googling up a storm and i can't quite figure out when to define an instance method and when to define a class method. any ideas?
<andrewvos>
elijahc: You mean as a good practice?
<elijahc>
yup
<andrewvos>
Well, when it makes sense use a class method :)
<andrewvos>
elijahc: If you don't need any values to be passed into the constructor, then you might want to use a class method.
<elijahc>
andrewvos: what if i need to pass in an array to my method?
<andrewvos>
elijahc: What are you currently doing that has made you stop and think?
oneiros_Fade joined #ruby
<elijahc>
well, i'm writing my first ruby program and I'm going to use Thread because i've got 8 cores on this box, and I need to have each core run a method, albeit with different inputs.
<andrewvos>
elijahc: So what does it do, and where are you thinking of using an instance/class method?
looopy_ joined #ruby
<RubyPanther>
elijahc: likely you should fork instead of using Thread

I want to do a regex in ruby 1.9 where I want to find a string that ends with a period like: "Scintigraphic evaluation of acute lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage: current status and future directions." but some of these strings can also be preceeded and end with brackets like: "[Role of multi-detector row computed tomography for localization of acute lower GI bleeding]." and I'd like to get rid of the brackets
Skaag_ joined #ruby
<jinho>
so far I have: \[?(.+)\]?\.

but of course that keeps the end bracket - do I have to use assertions for this case?

I am basically trying to write a script to allow dynamic content to cut off at a certain length in a fixed height div without js or css intervening...
<sdwrage>
the + 1's are to compensate for spaces that were removed
<sdwrage>
because those act as a single space
stephenjudkins joined #ruby
<sdwrage>
basically I needed something that acts like I can cut it at a specific row based on character limit but, in the browser, if a word is too long, it drops down to another row in the paragraph. so just doing a character count wouldn't work
<sdwrage>
thats why I was creating this
<sdwrage>
I don't know how flakey it looks code wise :\

so if the word doesn't fit in the limit you want to move it to the next line?

+= just calls + method

then assigns result

if I use local variables instead of @variables, things work fine. Do I really need just just do "local_var = @instance_var" and refer to "local_var" inside my blocks?

i get an output from an app which is appended w/ a more or less random string (not easy to cut out).
<mkulke>
like "<a.....z>\nblabla"
<mkulke>
i do parse the xml
<mkulke>
but i need to cut the frigging stuff at the end of the app
xhx joined #ruby
<mkulke>
err the app result string
<derchiller>
can't help u out there. building up the regexp is your job :) but, if your source is always valid xml, u may want to try out REXML or XmlSimple
<mkulke>
i DO use rexml
<mkulke>
i just wonder whether i can replace the ugly awk call
<derchiller>
:)
<mkulke>
right now my call is: %x{java -jar nagios_to_xml.jar #{filename} | awk "/<*>/"}
<mkulke>
works great
<mkulke>
but its ugly
theRoUS joined #ruby
<derchiller>
yes, that looks like the sourcecode of a bash script, but not ruby ^^
<mkulke>
*then* i can parse it w/ xml
<mkulke>
rexml
<mkulke>
i guess i could basically search for the last ">" and chop everything off from that on

mkulke: u can use String.sub or String.sub! resp. String.gsub
_kinderman joined #ruby
<derchiller>
with regular expressions to remove an unwanted string also
<mkulke>
derchiller: exactly. but what would be a regexp for a non "< >" enclosed string?
<derchiller>
replace /<.*?>/ with an empty string -> String.gsub(/<.*?>/, '')
<mkulke>
that would throw away the xml
Ankhers joined #ruby
<mkulke>
not the non-xml string
<derchiller>
may gsub(/>.*?</, '') ?
<mkulke>
neither :)
<derchiller>
may gsub(/>(.*?)</, '') ?
<derchiller>
should work IMHO
<mkulke>
no, it doesn't. i am beginning to doubt it's possible at all
bjhaid left #ruby
<derchiller>
everything is possible
<mkulke>
not with regexp
<mkulke>
its not a parser
<derchiller>
it may be one
<derchiller>
depends on the pattern
<mkulke>
i thought there was a logical limitiation
<derchiller>
not every problem is solvable with the use of only regular expressions, thats right
<derchiller>
but regexp helps. but u're free to try it another way also

Somehow with some setting I've set in my environment I have lost the ability to (option + left) to jump left over words in IRB and rails consoles. Instead of going left it gives me [D for option + left and just 'D' for CTRL+left. Anyone have any ideas for what setting might be messing that up?
