I need to correlate data from two sources based on first names, which might be slightly different after a Customer Service Rep has (attempted) to fix typos.
At first I thought "FuzzyScore" might help, until I realized I have no idea how to use it properly. Looking at https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-text/apidocs/org/apache/commons/text/similarity/FuzzyScore.html and my basic conclusion: it returns a near random number
Just look at their examples:
score.fuzzyScore("Workshop", "w") = 1
score.fuzzyScore("Workshop", "ws") = 2
score.fuzzyScore("Workshop", "wo") = 4 // excuse me???
score.fuzzyScore("Apache Software Foundation", "asf") = 3
What test can I use to say a match is found?

In PAPI Im trying to put 7 events in one eventset so I can read 7 results in one operation but I always get return -1 ,can anyone help me?my code like this:
int events1[] = {
PAPI_L1_TCM,
PAPI_L2_TCM,
PAPI_L3_TCM,
PAPI_MEM_WCY,
PAPI_RES_STL,
PAPI_TLB_DM,
PAPI_TLB_IM};
PAPI_library_init(PAPI_VER_CURRENT);
i = PAPI_start_counters(events1,7);
where i appears to be -1 which means PAPI_EINVAL.
I tried change the value PAPI_NUM_TLS but it didn't work.
I have the same problem now. But as I have found, the trouble comes from 5th and 6th counters. Here: https://icl.cs.utk.edu/projects/papi/wiki/PAPI3:PAPI_add_event.3
at IBM POWER6 NOTES there is mentioned that these two counters are specific and as I understand should count concrete events. I have not found the solution yet. For 5th one, I added PAPI_TOT_INS and seems to work but for 6th one PAPI_TOT_CYC gives PAPI_ECNFLCT error as they say.
I am creating a test that can be expressed as a disjunction of assertions; when the first assertion fails, then it should look at the next. Particularly, an item will be equal to one of two things. Which one, I do not know.
My code looks something like this. It does not work but it might give you an idea of what I am trying to do.
asset_one = Cache.asset_one
asset_two = Cache.asset_two
assert_equal(asset_one.name, Pages.name) or
assert_equal(asset_two.name, Pages.name)
The Pages.name should match one of the targets. I don't know which one. If it doesn't match the first, then I want it to skip it and try to match the second.
Any help is as always much appreciated.
If you want to match any one of the object having the given name, you can use assert_includes
asset_one = Cache.asset_one
asset_two = Cache.asset_two
assert_includes([asset_one, asset_two].map(&:name), Pages.name)
This should solve your purpose.
Im new to Report Builder and having issues with some expressions that Im trying to implement in a report. I got the standard ones to work however as soon as I try any distinctions, I get error messages. Over the last couple weeks, Ive tried many combinations, read the expression help, google and looking at other questions at internet sites. To reduce my frustrations, I even would jump to other expressions and walk away hoping I would have different insight coming back.
Its probably something simple or something I dont know about writing expressions.
Im hoping that someone can help with these expressions; they are the versions I get the least errors with(usually just expression expected) and show what Im trying to accomplish.
=IIF((Fields!RECORDFLAG.Value)='D',COUNTDISTINCT(Fields!TICKETNUM.Value),0)
=IIF((Fields!TRANSTYPE.Value)='1' and (Fields!RECORDFLAG.VALUE)='A' or
'B',SUM(Fields!DOLLARS.Value),0)
=IIF((Fields!TRANSTYPE.Value)='1' and
(Fields!RECORDFLAG.VALUE)='P',SUM(Fields!DOLLARS.Value),0)
=Sum([DOLLARS] case when [RECORDFLAG]='P' then -1*[DOLLARS])
Thank You.
=IIF((Fields!RECORDFLAG.Value)=”D”,COUNTDISTINCT(Fields!TICKETNUM.Value))
The error message gives you the answer here - no false part of the iif() has been specified. Use =IIF((Fields!RECORDFLAG.Value)=”D”,COUNTDISTINCT(Fields!TICKETNUM.Value), 0)
=IIF((Fields!TRANSTYPE.Value)="1" and (Fields!RECORDFLAG.VALUE)="A" or "B",SUM(Fields!DOLLARS.Value),0)
This is not how an OR works in SSRS. Use:
=IIF((Fields!TRANSTYPE.Value)="1" and (Fields!RECORDFLAG.VALUE="A" or Fields!RECORDFLAG.Value = "B"),SUM(Fields!DOLLARS.Value),0)
The 0s are returned due to your report design. countdistinct() is an aggregate function - it's meant to be used on a set of data. However, your iif() is only testing on a per row basis - you're basically saying "if the current row is thing, count all the distinct values" which doesn't make sense. There are a couple of ways forward:
You can count the number of times a certain value occurs in a given condition using a sum(). This is not the same as the countdistinct(), but if you use =sum(iif(Fields!RECORDFLAG.Value = "D", 1, 0)) then you will get the number of times RECORDFLAG is D in that set. Note: this requires the data to be aggregated (so in SSRS, grouped in a tablix).
You can use custom code to count distinct values in a set. See https://itsalocke.com/aggregate-on-a-lookup-in-ssrs/. You can apply this even if you have only one dataset - just reference the same one twice.
You can change the way your report works. You can group on Fields!RECORDFLAG.Value and filter the group to where Fields!RECORDFLAG.Value = "D". Then in your textbox, use =countdistinct(Fields!TICKETNUM.Value) to get the distinct values for TICKETNUM when RECORDFLAG is D.
is it possible to create some unique ID for articles on rails?
For example, first article will get ID - aa-001,
second - aa-002
...
article #999 - aa-999,
article #1000 - ab-001 and so on?
Thanks in advance for your help!
The following method gives the next id in the sequence, given the one before:
def next_id(id, limit = 3, seperator = '-')
if id[/[0-9]+\z/] == ?9 * limit
"#{id[/\A[a-z]+/i].next}#{seperator}#{?0 * (limit - 1)}1"
else
id.next
end
end
> next_id("aa-009")
=> "aa-010"
> next_id("aa-999")
=> "ab-001"
The limit parameter specifies the number of digits. You can use as many prefix characters as you want.
Which means you could use it like this in your application:
> Post.last.special_id
=> "bc-999"
next_id(Post.last.special_id)
=> "bd-001"
However, I'm not sure I'd advice you to do it like this. Databases have smart methods to avoid race conditions for creating ids when entries are created concurrently. In Postgres, for example, it doesn't guarantee gapless ids.
This approach has no such mechanism, which could potentially lead to race conditions. However, if this is extremely unlikely to happen such in a case where you are the only one writing articles, you could do it anyway. I'm not exactly sure what you want to use this for, but you might want to look into to_param.
You may want to look into the FriendlyId gem. There’s also a Railscast on this topic which covers a manual approach as well as the usage of FriendlyId.
As part of a chat app I'm writing, I need to use regular expressions to match asterisks and underscores in chat messages and turn them into <strong> and <em> tags. Since I'm terrible with regex, I'm really stuck here. Ideally, we would have it set up such that:
One to three words, but not more, can be marked for strong/em.
Patterns such as "un*believ*able" would be matched.
Only one or the other (strong OR em) work within one line.
The above parameters are in order of importance, with only #1 being utterly necessary - the others are just prettiness. The closest I came to anything that worked was:
text = text.sub(/\*([(0-9a-zA-Z).*])\*/,'<b>\1<\/b>')
text = text.sub(/_([(0-9a-zA-Z).*])_/,'<i>\1<\/i>')
But it obviously doesn't work with any of our params.
It's odd that there's not an example of something similar already out there, given the popularity of using asterisks for bold and whatnot. If there is, I couldn't find it outside of plugins/gems (which won't work for this instance, as I really only need it in in one place in my model). Any help would be appreciated.
This should help you finish what you are doing:
sub(/\*(.*)\*/,'<b>\1</b>')
sub(/_(.*)_/,'<i>\1</i>')
Firstly, your criteria are a little strange, but, okay...
It seems that a possible algorithm for this would be to find the number of matches in a message, count them to see if there are less than 4, and then try to perform one set of substitutions.
strong_regexp = /\*([^\*]*)\*/
em_regexp = /_([^_]*)_/
def process(input)
if input ~= strong_regexp && input.match(strong_regexp).size < 4
input.sub strong_regexp, "<b>\1<\b>"
elsif input ~= em_regexp && intput.match(em_regexp).size < 4
input.sub em_regexp, "<i>\1<\i>"
end
end
Your specifications aren't entirely clear, but if you understand this, you can tweak it yourself.
