I have a bot that writes my message to a webpage. I want the message to be sent as one paragraph, but with the lines separated by a linebreak. However, when I actually run the code, the bot inputs and enters each line separately, instead of as one paragraph
I've tried messing with the linebreak formatting and string formatting, but the issue persists
reply_messages = []
reply_messages.push([
"FREE BABY AVOCUDDLE - Thank you for your patience!",
"To redeem your FREE avocuddle, just use the LINK IN OUR BIO and ADD TO CART - just cover shipping, no additional charges!",
"Discount AUTOMATICALLY APPLIES! Super simple, no code!",
"If you order another avocuddle in addition, we cover shipping PLUS the free baby avocuddle! :)",
"Feel free to DM us if you need anything!"
].join("\n")+"\n")

I would like for the code to output the entire text as one block of text. However, instead, it outputs as separate lines.
Output currently looks like:
FREE BABY AVOCUDDLE - Thank you for your patience!
(enters this into text box)
To redeem your FREE avocuddle, just use the LINK IN OUR BIO and ADD TO CART - just cover shipping, no additional charges!
(enters this into text box)
etc.
Instead I would like for it to send as one message.

I have a text file that I want to open first for reading or writing, but want the user to manually enter the text_file name (which opens the file for reading) first like so:
def read_in_albums
puts "Enter file name: "
begin
file_name = gets().chomp
if (file_name == "albums.txt")
puts "File is open"
a_file = File.new("#{file_name}", "r")
puts a_file.gets
finished = true
else
puts "Please re-enter file name: "
end
end until finished
end
From this unfinished code below, selecting 1 would go to the above procedure. I want the user to select 1 first, and if they choose 2 without having gone through read_in_albums they just get some sort of message like "no file selected and sent back to menu screen.
def main()
finished = false
begin
puts("Main Menu:")
puts("1- Read in Album")
puts("2- Display Album Info")
puts("3- Play Album")
puts("4- Update Album")
puts("5- Exit")
choice = read_integer_in_range("Please enter your choice:", 1, 5)
case choice
when 1
read_in_albums
when 2
display_album_info
when 5
finished = true
end
end until finished
end
main()
The only thing I can think of is something like
when 2
if(read_in_albums == true)
display_album_info
and have it return true from read_in_albums.
which I don't want to do as it just goes through read_in_albums again, when I only want it to do that if the user pressed 1.
All of your application's functionality depends on whether the album data has been read. You are no doubt storing this data as an object in memory referenced by some variable.
$album_data = File.read 'album.txt'
You can test whether this data is present in order to determine whether the file data has been read:
if $album_data.nil?
# ask user for album file
else
# show album user interface
end
There is no need for a separate flag. The mere presence of the data in memory serves as a flag already.
You could either set a flag when option 1 was selcted
has_been_read = false
...
when 1
read_in_albums
has_been_read = true
when 2
if has_been_read
display_album_info
else
puts "Select Option 1 first"
end
Or just test if your file name is a valid string.
I am trying to count the correct inputs from the user. An input looks like:
m = "<ex=1>test xxxx <ex=1>test xxxxx test <ex=1>"
The tag ex=1 and the word test have to be connected and in this particular order to count as correct. In case of an invalid input, I want to send the user an error message that explains the error.
I tried to do it as written below:
ex_test_size = m.scan(/<ex=1>test/).size # => 2
test_size = m.scan(/test/).size # => 3
ex_size = m.scan(/<ex=1>/).size # => 3
puts "lack of tags(<ex=1>)" if ex_test_size < ex_size
puts "Lack of the word(test)" if ex_test_size < test_size
I believe it can be written in a better way as the way I wrote, I guess, is prone to errors. How can I make sure that all the errors will be found and shown to the user?
You might use negative lookarounds:
#⇒ ["xxx test", "<ex=1>"]
m.scan(/<ex=1>(?!test).{,4}|.{,4}(?<!<ex=1>)test/).map do |msg|
"<ex=1>test expected, #{msg} got"
end.join(', ')
We scan the string for either <ex=1> not followed by test or vice versa. Also, we grab up to 4 characters that violate the rule for the more descriptive message.
Is there any way to code in Ruby so that the terminal presents two options among which the user is required to select using the arrow keys and confirm using Enter?
Pseudo code:
p "What is the capital of Scotland?
user_select = gets.chomp
p "Edinburgh"
p "Glasgow"
if user_select == "Edinburgh" etc etc
I want to know if this can be achieved without the user having to type in their answer. Can the terminal behave like a GUI?
Alternatively, you could use TTY::Prompt. It will let you use the arrow keys.
Code sample
require 'tty-prompt'
prompt = TTY::Prompt.new
greeting = 'What is the capital of Scotland?'
choices = %w(Edinburgh Glasgow)
answer = prompt.select(greeting, choices)
'do something' if answer == choices[0]
Result
$ ruby quiz.rb
What is the capital of Scotland? (Use arrow keys, press Enter to select)
‣ Edinburgh
Glasgow
You could use something like Highline, though that will not let you use arrow keys:
→ ruby test.rb
1. Edinburgh
2. Glasgow
What is the capital of Scotland?
→ 1
Correct!
Code (just to get an idea):
require 'highline'
cli = HighLine.new
cli.choose do |menu|
menu.prompt = "What is the capital of Scotland?"
menu.choice("Edinburgh") { cli.say "Correct!" }
menu.choice("Glasgow") { cli.say "Wrong!" }
end
For more of a GUI, try using something like MRDialog.
Example:
require 'mrdialog'
dialog = MRDialog.new
dialog.clear = true
dialog.title = "Quiz"
question = "What is the capital of Scotland?"
answers = [['E', 'Edinburg'], ['G', 'Glasgow']]
height = 0
width = 0
menu_height = 2
selected_item = dialog.menu(question, answers, height, width, menu_height)
puts "Selected item: #{selected_item}"
Result:
I am trying to extract information from a large file and cannot figure out how to extract strings from file lines only when a previous line in the same record within the file has been matched by regex. An example of one record in the file is as follows:
*NEW RECORD
RECTYPE = D
MH = Informed Consent
AQ = ES HI LJ PX SN ST
ENTRY = Consent, Informed
MN = N03.706.437.650.312
MN = N03.706.535.489
FX = Disclosure
FX = Mental Competency
FX = Therapeutic Misconception
FX = Treatment Refusal
ST = T058
ST = T078
AN = competency to consent: coordinate IM with MENTAL COMPETENCY (IM)
PI = Jurisprudence (1966-1970)
PI = Physician-Patient Relations (1966-1970)
MS = Voluntary authorization, by a patient or research subject, etc,...
This file contains over 20,000 records like this example. I want to identify a small percent of those records using the "MH" field. In this example, I want to find "Informed Consent", and then use regex to extract the information in the FX, AN, and MS fields only within that record. So far, I have opened the file, accessed the hash that the MH terms are stored in, and been able to extract those terms from the records in the file. I also have a functioning regex that identifies the content in the "FX" field.
File.open('mesh_descriptor.bin').each do |file_line|
file_line = file_line.chomp
# read each key of candidate_descriptor_keys
candidate_descriptor_keys.each do |cand_term|
if file_line =~ /^MH\s=\s(#{cand_term})$/
mesh_header = $1
puts "MH from Mesh Descriptor file is: #{mesh_header}"
if file_line =~ /^FX\s=\s(.*)$/
see_also = $1
puts " See_Also from Descriptor file is: #{see_also}"
end
end
end
end
The hash contains the following MH (keys):
candidate_descriptor_keys = ["Body Weight", "Obesity", "Thinness", "Fetal Weight", "Overweight"]
I had success extracting "FX" when I put the statement outside of the "if" statement to extract "MH", but all of the "FX" from the whole file were retrieved - not what I need. I thought putting the "if" statement for "FX" within the previous "if" statement would restrict the results to only those found when the first statement is true, but I am getting no results (also no errors) with this strategy. What I would like as a result is:
> Informed Consent
> Disclosure
> Mental Competency
> Therapeutic Misconception
> Treatment Refusal
as well as the strings within the "AN" and "MS" fields for only those records matching "MH". Any suggestions would be helpful!
I think this may be what you are looking for, but if not, let me know and I will change it. Look especially at the very end to see if that is the sort of output (for input having two records, both with a "MH" field) you want. I will also add a "explanation" section at the end once I have understood your question correctly.
I have assumed that each record begins
*NEW_RECORD
and you wish to identify all lines beginning "MH" whose field is one of the elements of:
candidate_descriptor_keys =
["Body Weight", "Obesity", "Thinness", "Informed Consent"]
and for each match, you would like to print the contents of the lines for the same record that begin with "FX", "AN" and "MS".
Code
NEW_RECORD_MARKER = "*NEW RECORD"
def getem(fname, candidate_descriptor_keys)
line = 0
found_mh = false
File.open(fname).each do |file_line|
file_line = file_line.strip
case
when file_line == NEW_RECORD_MARKER
puts # space between records
found_mh = false
when found_mh == false
candidate_descriptor_keys.each do |cand_term|
if file_line =~ /^MH\s=\s(#{cand_term})$/
found_mh = true
puts "MH from line #{line} of file is: #{cand_term}"
break
end
end
when found_mh
["FX", "AN", "MS"].each do |des|
if file_line =~ /^#{des}\s=\s(.*)$/
see_also = $1
puts " Line #{line} of file is: #{des}: #{see_also}"
end
end
end
line += 1
end
end
Example
Let's begin be creating a file, starging with a "here document that contains two records":
records =<<_
*NEW RECORD
RECTYPE = D
MH = Informed Consent
AQ = ES HI LJ PX SN ST
ENTRY = Consent, Informed
MN = N03.706.437.650.312
MN = N03.706.535.489
FX = Disclosure
FX = Mental Competency
FX = Therapeutic Misconception
FX = Treatment Refusal
ST = T058
ST = T078
AN = competency to consent
PI = Jurisprudence (1966-1970)
PI = Physician-Patient Relations (1966-1970)
MS = Voluntary authorization
*NEW RECORD
MH = Obesity
AQ = ES HI LJ PX SN ST
ENTRY = Obesity
MN = N03.706.437.650.312
MN = N03.706.535.489
FX = 1st FX
FX = 2nd FX
AN = Only AN
PI = Jurisprudence (1966-1970)
PI = Physician-Patient Relations (1966-1970)
MS = Only MS
_
If you puts records you will see it is just a string. (You'll see that I shortened two of them.) Now write it to a file:
File.write('mesh_descriptor', records)
If you wish to confirm the file contents, you could do this:
puts File.read('mesh_descriptor')
We also need to define define the array candidate_descriptor_keys:
candidate_descriptor_keys =
["Body Weight", "Obesity", "Thinness", "Informed Consent"]
We can now execute the method getem:
getem('mesh_descriptor', candidate_descriptor_keys)
MH from line 2 of file is: Informed Consent
Line 7 of file is: FX: Disclosure
Line 8 of file is: FX: Mental Competency
Line 9 of file is: FX: Therapeutic Misconception
Line 10 of file is: FX: Treatment Refusal
Line 13 of file is: AN: competency to consent
Line 16 of file is: MS: Voluntary authorization
MH from line 18 of file is: Obesity
Line 23 of file is: FX: 1st FX
Line 24 of file is: FX: 2nd FX
Line 25 of file is: AN: Only AN
Line 28 of file is: MS: Only MS
TOTAL rookie here.
I'm working on customizing a script made by Brett Terpstra - http://brettterpstra.com/2013/11/01/save-pocket-favorites-to-nvalt-with-ifttt-and-hazel/
Mine is a different use: I'd like to save my pinboard bookmarks with a specific tag to a file in dropbox in Markdown.
I feed it a text file such as:
Title: Yesterday is over.
URL: http://www.jonacuff.com/blog/want-to-change-the-world-get-doing/
Tags: 2md, 2wcx, 2pdf
Date: June 20, 2013 at 06:20PM
Image: notused
Excerpt: You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.
And it outputs the markdown file.
Everything works great except when the 'excerpt' (see above) is more than one line. Sometimes it's a couple of paragraphs. When that happens, it stops working. When I hit enter from the command line, it's still waiting for more input.
Here's an example of a file that it doesn't work on:
Title: Talking ’bout my Generation.

Excerpt: Contrast two men from the 19th century: Max Jukes and Jonathan Edwards.
Max Jukes lived in New York. He did not believe in Christ or in raising his children in the way of the Lord. He refused to take his children to church, even when they asked to go. Of his 1,026 descendants:
•300 were sent to prison for an average term of 13 years
•190 were prostitutes
•680 were admitted alcoholics
His family, thus far, has cost the state in excess of $420,000 and has made no contribution to society.
Jonathan Edwards also lived in New York, at the same time as Jukes. He was known to have studied 13 hours a day and, in spite of his busy schedule of writing, teaching, and pastoring, he made it a habit to come home and spend an hour each day with his children. He also saw to it that his children were in church every Sunday. Of his 929 descendants:
•430 were ministers
•86 became university professors
•13 became university presidents
•75 authored good books
•7 were elected to the United States Congress
•1 was Vice President of the United States
Edwards’ family never cost the state one cent.
We tend to think that our decisions only affect ourselves, but they have ramifications for generations to come.
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like after I run the command: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i9zg483k7nkdp6f/Screenshot%202013-11-22%2016.39.17.png
I'm hoping it's something easy. Any ideas?

How about this? Modify your input.each_line area accordingly:
headers = {}
key = nil
input.each_line do |line|
match = /^(?<key>\w+)\s*:\s*(?<value>.*)/.match(line)
value = line
if match
key = match[:key].strip
headers[key] = match[:value].strip
else
headers[key] += line
end
end
First, splitting on just ":" is dangerous since that can be in content. Instead, a (simplified from code) regex of /^\w+:.*/ will match "Word: Content". Since the lines after the "Excerpt:" aren't prefixed, you need to hang on to the last seen key, and just append if there's no key for this line. You may need to add a newline in there, depending on what you're doing with that header information, but it seems to work.
