I have cmd prompt,In which stdin accept only string, but once i receive the string need to convert to float. when someone mistakenly enter "0..1" instead of 0.1, I need check it and show error info.
msg := "enter the rate eg:{0.1}"
rate, err := RatePrompt(msg)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("something went while entering rate, please re-enter")
}
func RatePrompt(cmrmsg string) (price string, err error) {
fmt.Println(" ")
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
scanner.Scan()
price := scanner.Text()
return price, nil
}
//check for string contains multiple dot
rate, err := RatePrompt(msg)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("something went while entering
rate, please re-enter")else{
///check for string contains multiple dot
}
}
checking for multiple dot in string value, if multiple dot present throw error
If you are just checking for number use this instead of dot check
i, err := strconv.ParseFloat(elem, 64)
if err != nil {
numbers = append(numbers, i)
}

In my CLI program I have this functionality where a user can tell me how many items of a certain product they want. Therefore this input is expected to be an integer.
I'm currently having an issue where if they input a string it will error saying it expected an integer but then also print the question again multiple times instead of just once.
Example:
How many Fruit Tea would you like to buy? qwe
expected integer
How many Fruit Tea would you like to buy? expected integer
How many Fruit Tea would you like to buy? expected integer
How many Fruit Tea would you like to buy?
Below is the code that handles this functionality
for {
fmt.Printf("How many %v would you like to buy? ", product.Name)
_, err := fmt.Scan(&response)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
continue
}
if ok, err := validResponse(response); ok {
break
} else {
fmt.Println(err)
continue
}
}
What do I have to change in this loop so it only repeats the question once?
If you can, switch the type of response from int to string then parse the input string using package strconv (such as strconv.Atoi() ). I suspect Scan is trying to read each character you entered as a separate int, failing each time, and running the loop each time until all the characters have been consumed.
for example
for {
var response string
fmt.Printf("How many %v would you like to buy? ", product.Name)
_, err := fmt.Scanln(&response)
if err != nil { // probably don't need to check err from Scan()
fmt.Println(err)
continue
}
num, err := strconv.Atoi(response)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Enter an integer.")
continue
}
if ok, err := validResponse(num); ok && err==nil {
break
} else {
fmt.Println(err)
continue
}
}
A simple execution of go command gives some output as given here: How do you get the output of a system command in Go??
But the code I am using is for showing the output with progress from : https://blog.kowalczyk.info/article/wOYk/advanced-command-execution-in-go-with-osexec.html?
Now, I can't actually filter the output that I am getting from this as I don't want everything to be printed and only a part of it. Is there a way to do so?
I have already tried implementing a string to get the output instead of go routine way. But it didn't work. I want the progress too.
The sample you're pointing to reads from the subprocess's stdout, and for each read it writes what it read to its own stdout while also capturing it:
func copyAndCapture(w io.Writer, r io.Reader) ([]byte, error) {
var out []byte
buf := make([]byte, 1024, 1024)
for {
n, err := r.Read(buf[:])
if n > 0 {
d := buf[:n]
out = append(out, d...)
_, err := w.Write(d)
if err != nil {
return out, err
}
}
if err != nil {
// Read returns io.EOF at the end of file, which is not an error for us
if err == io.EOF {
err = nil
}
return out, err
}
}
}
This function is called with os.Stdout as w.
Now, you're free to filter the data d before you print it out with w.Write.
I am trying to figure out why my code is not working. I wish to take a slice of numbers and strings, and separate it into three slices. For each element in the slice, if it is a string, append it to the strings slice, and if it is a positive number, append it to the positive numbers, and likewise with negative. Yet, here is the output

Here is my code. Can someone tell me what is causing the Negatives array to not have any values?
func main() {
fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split("a,b,c", ","))
var names []string
var positives, negatives []float64
bs, err := ioutil.ReadFile("poolss.txt")
if err != nil {
return
}
str := string(bs)
fmt.Println(str)
tokens := strings.Split(str, ",")
for _, token := range tokens {
if num, err := strconv.ParseFloat(token, 64); err == nil {
if num > 0 {
positives = append(positives, num)
} else {
negatives = append(negatives, num)
}
} else {
names = append(names, token)
}
fmt.Println(token)
}
fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("Strings: %v",names))
fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("Positives: %v", positives))
fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("Negatives: %v",negatives))
for i := range names{
fmt.Println(names[i])
fmt.Println(positives[i])
fmt.Println(negatives[i])
}
}
Your code has strings as a variable name:
var strings []string
and strings as a package name:
tokens := strings.Split(str, ",")
Don't do that!
strings.Split undefined (type []string has no field or method Split)
Playground: https://play.golang.org/p/HfZGj0jOT-P
Your problem above I think lies with the extra \n attached to each float probably - you get no negative entries if you end in a linefeed or you would get one if you have no linefeed at the end. So insert a printf so that you can see the errors you're getting from strconv.ParseFloat and all will become clear.
Some small points which may help:
Check errors, and don't depend on an error to be of only one type (this is what is confusing you here) - always print the error if it arrives, particularly when debugging
Don't use the name of a package for a variable (strings), it won't end well
Use a datastructure which reflects your data
Use the CSV package to read CSV data
So for example for storing the data you might want:
type Place struct {
Name string
Latitude int64
Longitude int64
}
Then read the data into that, depending on the fact that cols are in a given order, and store it in a []Place.
Here's what I tried, it works now! Thanks for the help, everyone!
func main() {
findRoute("poolss.csv", 5)
}
func findRoute( filename string, num int) []Edge {
var route []Edge
csvFile, err := os.Open(filename)
if err != nil {
return route
}
reader := csv.NewReader(bufio.NewReader(csvFile))
var pools []Pool
for {
line, error := reader.Read()
if error == io.EOF {
break
} else if error != nil {
log.Fatal(error)
}
lat, err := strconv.ParseFloat(line[1], 64)
long, err := strconv.ParseFloat(line[2], 64)
if err == nil {
pools = append(pools, Pool{
name: line[0],
latitude: lat,
longitude: long,
})
}
}
return route
}
I am using a third party tool in Go with the help of exec.Command and that program will print out a large integer value which obviously is in string format. I having trouble converting that string to int (or more specifically uint64).
Details:
(You can ignore what program it is etc. but after running it will return me a large integer)
cmd := exec.Command(app, arg0, arg1, arg3)
stdout, err := cmd.Output()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err.Error())
return
}
temp := string(stdout)
After I ran above, I am trying to parse it as below
myanswer, err = strconv.Atoi(temp) //I know this is not for uint64 but I am first trying for int but I actually need uint64 conversion
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
Problem here is that the stdout is appending \r\n to its output which AtoI is not able to parse and gives the error
strconv.Atoi: parsing "8101832828\r\n": invalid syntax
Can someone pls help me on how to convert this string output to a uint64 and also int format pls?
The output contains special characters. First, you need to strip any these characters (e.g. \n or \r).
You can use strings.TrimSpace.
Then to parse a string as an int64, you would use:
if i, err := strconv.ParseInt(s, 10, 64); err == nil {
fmt.Printf("i=%d, type: %T\n", i, i)
}
I have a flat file that has 339276 line of text in it for a size of 62.1 MB. I am attempting to read in all the lines, parse them based on some conditions I have and then insert them into a database.
I originally attempted to use a bufio.Scan() loop and bufio.Text() to get the line but I was running out of buffer space. I switched to using bufio.ReadLine/ReadString/ReadByte (I tried each) and had the same problem with each. I didn't have enough buffer space.
I tried using read and setting the buffer size but as the document says it actually a const that can be made smaller but never bigger that 64*1024 bytes. I then tried to use File.ReadAt where I set the starting postilion and moved it along as I brought in each section to no avail. I have looked at the following examples and explanations (not an exhaustive list):
Read text file into string array (and write)
How to Read last lines from a big file with Go every 10 secs
reading file line by line in go
How do I read in an entire file (either line by line or the whole thing at once) into a slice so I can then go do things to the lines?
Here is some code that I have tried:
file, err := os.Open(feedFolder + value)
handleError(err)
defer file.Close()
// fileInfo, _ := file.Stat()
var linesInFile []string
r := bufio.NewReader(file)
for {
path, err := r.ReadLine("\n") // 0x0A separator = newline
linesInFile = append(linesInFile, path)
if err == io.EOF {
fmt.Printf("End Of File: %s", err)
break
} else if err != nil {
handleError(err) // if you return error
}
}
fmt.Println("Last Line: ", linesInFile[len(linesInFile)-1])
Here is something else I tried:
var fileSize int64 = fileInfo.Size()
fmt.Printf("File Size: %d\t", fileSize)
var bufferSize int64 = 1024 * 60
bytes := make([]byte, bufferSize)
var fullFile []byte
var start int64 = 0
var interationCounter int64 = 1
var currentErr error = nil
for currentErr != io.EOF {
_, currentErr = file.ReadAt(bytes, st)
fullFile = append(fullFile, bytes...)
start = (bufferSize * interationCounter) + 1
interationCounter++
}
fmt.Printf("Err: %s\n", currentErr)
fmt.Printf("fullFile Size: %s\n", len(fullFile))
fmt.Printf("Start: %d", start)
var currentLine []string
for _, value := range fullFile {
if string(value) != "\n" {
currentLine = append(currentLine, string(value))
} else {
singleLine := strings.Join(currentLine, "")
linesInFile = append(linesInFile, singleLine)
currentLine = nil
}
}
I am at a loss. Either I don't understand exactly how the buffer works or I don't understand something else. Thanks for reading.
bufio.Scan() and bufio.Text() in a loop perfectly works for me on a files with much larger size, so I suppose you have lines exceeded buffer capacity. Then
check your line ending
and which Go version you use path, err :=r.ReadLine("\n") // 0x0A separator = newline? Looks like func (b *bufio.Reader) ReadLine() (line []byte, isPrefix bool, err error) has return value isPrefix specifically for your use case
http://golang.org/pkg/bufio/#Reader.ReadLine
It's not clear that it's necessary to read in all the lines before parsing them and inserting them into a database. Try to avoid that.
You have a small file: "a flat file that has 339276 line of text in it for a size of 62.1 MB." For example,
package main
import (
"bytes"
"fmt"
"io"
"io/ioutil"
)
func readLines(filename string) ([]string, error) {
var lines []string
file, err := ioutil.ReadFile(filename)
if err != nil {
return lines, err
}
buf := bytes.NewBuffer(file)
for {
line, err := buf.ReadString('\n')
if len(line) == 0 {
if err != nil {
if err == io.EOF {
break
}
return lines, err
}
}
lines = append(lines, line)
if err != nil && err != io.EOF {
return lines, err
}
}
return lines, nil
}
func main() {
// a flat file that has 339276 lines of text in it for a size of 62.1 MB
filename := "flat.file"
lines, err := readLines(filename)
fmt.Println(len(lines))
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
}
It seems to me this variant of readLines is shorter and faster than suggested peterSO
func readLines(filename string) (map[int]string, error) {
lines := make(map[int]string)
data, err := ioutil.ReadFile(filename)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
for n, line := range strings.Split(string(data), "\n") {
lines[n] = line
}
return lines, nil
}
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"log"
"bufio"
)
func main() {
FileName := "assets/file.txt"
file, err := os.Open(FileName)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer file.Close()
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(file)
for scanner.Scan() {
fmt.Println(scanner.Text())
}
}
