I want to do string substitution. With gsub or tr I can give a single input character and map it to a single output value but I want to create multiple output strings based on multiple mappings:
swap = {
'a' => ['$', '%', '^'],
'b' => ['3'],
'c' => ['4', '#'],
}
For input string 'abc', I should get the following output strings:
'$34'
'$3#'
'%34'
'%3#'
'^34'
'^3#'
Is there an easy way to do this for an arbitrary number of inputs and mappings? In reality it is likely to be about 10 inputs and at most 3 mappings, usually only one.
def gen_products(swap, str)
swap_all = Hash.new { |_,k| [k] }.merge(swap)
arr = swap_all.values_at(*str.chars)
arr.shift.product(*arr).map(&:join)
end
See Hash::new (with a block), Hash#values_at and Array#product. If h = Hash.new { |_,k| [k] } and h does not have a key k, h[k] returns [k].
swap = { 'a'=>['$', '%', '^'], 'b'=>['3'], 'c'=>['4', '#'] }
gen_products(swap, "abc")
#=> ["$34", "$3#", "%34", "%3#", "^34", "^3#"]
Here
swap_all = Hash.new { |_,k| [k] }.merge(swap)
#=> {"a"=>["$", "%", "^"], "b"=>["3"], "c"=>["4", "#"]}
vals = swap_all.values_at(*str.chars)
#=> [["$", "%", "^"], ["3"], ["4", "#"]]
Another example:
gen_products(swap, "bca")
#=> ["34$", "34%", "34^", "3#$", "3#%", "3#^"]
and one more:
gen_products(swap, "axbycx")
#=> ["$x3y4x", "$x3y#x", "%x3y4x", "%x3y#x", "^x3y4x", "^x3y#x"]
Here
swap_all = Hash.new { |_,k| [k] }.merge(swap)
#=> {"a"=>["$", "%", "^"], "b"=>["3"], "c"=>["4", "#"]}
vals = swap_all.values_at(*str.chars)
#=> [["$", "%", "^"], ["x"], ["3"], ["y"], ["4", "#"], ["x"]]

What is the most efficient and pretty way to map this:
{name:"cheese,test", uid:"1,2"}
to this:
[ {name:"cheese", uid:"1"}, {name:"test", uid:"2"} ]
should work dinamically for example with: { name:"cheese,test,third", uid:"1,2,3" } or {name:"cheese,test,third,fourth", uid:"1,2,3,4", age:"9,8,7,6" }
Finally I made this:
hash = {name:"cheese,test", uid:"1,2"}
results = []
length = hash.values.first.split(',').length
length.times do |i|
results << hash.map {|k,v| [k, v.split(',')[i]]}
end
results.map{|e| e.to_h}
It is working, but i am not pleased with it, has to be a cleaner and more 'rubyst' way to do this
def splithash(h)
# Transform each element in the Hash...
h.map do |k, v|
# ...by splitting the values on commas...
v.split(',').map do |vv|
# ...and turning these into individual { k => v } entries.
{ k => vv }
end
end.inject do |a,b|
# Then combine these by "zip" combining each list A to each list B...
a.zip(b)
# ...which will require a subsequent .flatten to eliminate nesting
# [ [ 1, 2 ], 3 ] -> [ 1, 2, 3 ]
end.map(&:flatten).map do |s|
# Then combine all of these { k => v } hashes into one containing
# all the keys with associated values.
s.inject(&:merge)
end
end
Which can be used like this:
splithash(name:"cheese,test", uid:"1,2", example:"a,b")
# => [{:name=>"cheese", :uid=>"1", :example=>"a"}, {:name=>"test", :uid=>"2", :example=>"b"}]
It looks a lot more convoluted at first glance, but this handles any number of keys.
I would likely use transpose and zip like so:
hash = {name:"cheese,test,third,fourth", uid:"1,2,3,4", age:"9,8,7,6" }
hash.values.map{|x| x.split(",")}.transpose.map{|v| hash.keys.zip(v).to_h}
#=> [{:name=>"cheese", :uid=>"1", :age=>"9"}, {:name=>"test", :uid=>"2", :age=>"8"}, {:name=>"third", :uid=>"3", :age=>"7"}, {:name=>"fourth", :uid=>"4", :age=>"6"}]
To break it down a bit (code slightly modified for operational clarity):
hash.values
#=> ["cheese,test,third,fourth", "1,2,3,4", "9,8,7,6"]
.map{|x| x.split(",")}
#=> [["cheese", "test", "third", "fourth"], ["1", "2", "3", "4"], ["9", "8", "7", "6"]]
.transpose
#=> [["cheese", "1", "9"], ["test", "2", "8"], ["third", "3", "7"], ["fourth", "4", "6"]]
.map do |v|
hash.keys #=> [[:name, :uid, :age], [:name, :uid, :age], [:name, :uid, :age], [:name, :uid, :age]]
.zip(v) #=> [[[:name, "cheese"], [:uid, "1"], [:age, "9"]], [[:name, "test"], [:uid, "2"], [:age, "8"]], [[:name, "third"], [:uid, "3"], [:age, "7"]], [[:name, "fourth"], [:uid, "4"], [:age, "6"]]]
.to_h #=> [{:name=>"cheese", :uid=>"1", :age=>"9"}, {:name=>"test", :uid=>"2", :age=>"8"}, {:name=>"third", :uid=>"3", :age=>"7"}, {:name=>"fourth", :uid=>"4", :age=>"6"}]
end
Input
hash={name:"cheese,test,third,fourth", uid:"1,2,3,4", age:"9,8,7,6" }
Code
p hash
.transform_values { |v| v.split(',') }
.map { |k, v_arr| v_arr.map { |v| [k, v] }
}
.transpose
.map { |array| array.to_h }
Output
[{:name=>"cheese", :uid=>"1", :age=>"9"}, {:name=>"test", :uid=>"2", :age=>"8"}, {:name=>"third", :uid=>"3", :age=>"7"}, {:name=>"fourth", :uid=>"4", :age=>"6"}]
We are given
h = { name: "cheese,test", uid: "1,2" }
Here are two ways to create the desired array. Neither construct arrays that are then converted to hashes.
#1
First compute
g = h.transform_values { |s| s.split(',') }
#=> {:name=>["cheese", "test"], :uid=>["1", "2"]}
then compute
g.first.last.size.times.map { |i| g.transform_values { |v| v[i] } }
#=> [{:name=>"cheese", :uid=>"1"}, {:name=>"test", :uid=>"2"}]
Note
a = g.first
#=> [:name, ["cheese", "test"]]
b = a.last
#=> ["cheese", "test"]
b.size
#=> 2
#2
This approach does not convert the values of the hash to arrays.
(h.first.last.count(',')+1).times.map do |i|
h.transform_values { |s| s[/(?:\w+,){#{i}}\K\w+/] }
end
#=> [{:name=>"cheese", :uid=>"1"}, {:name=>"test", :uid=>"2"}]
We have
a = h.first
#=> [:name, "cheese,test"]
s = a.last
#=> "cheese,test"
s.count(',')+1
#=> 2
We can express the regular expression in free-spacing mode to make it self-documenting.
/
(?: # begin a non-capture group
\w+, # match one or more word characters followed by a comma
) # end the non-capture group
{#{i}} # execute the preceding non-capture group i times
\K # discard all matches so far and reset the start of the match
\w+ # match one or more word characters
/x # invoke free-spacing regex definition mode
Question:
Create a method for Array that returns a hash having 'key' as length of the element and value as an array of all the elements of that length. Make use of Array#each.
Returned Hash should be sorted by key.
I have tried to do it through Hash sorting over length. I have almost resolved it using another method but I want to use split and hash to achieve expected output.
Can anyone suggest any amendments in my code below?
Input argument:
array-hash.rb "['abc','def',1234,234,'abcd','x','mnop',5,'zZzZ']"
Expected output:
{1=>["x", "5"], 3=>["abc", "def", "234"], 4=>["1234", "abcd", "mnop", "zZzZ"]}
class String
def key_length(v2)
hash = {}
v2.each do |item|
item_length = item.to_s.length
hash[item_length] ||= []
hash[item_length].push(item)
end
Hash[hash.sort]
end
end
reader = ''
if ARGV.empty?
puts 'Please provide an input'
else
v1 = ARGV[0]
v2 = v1.tr("'[]''",'').split
p reader.key_length(v2)
end
Actual output:
{35=>["abc,def,1234,234,abcd,x,mnop,5,zZzZ"]}
Given the array (converted from string, note integers as string between ""):
ary = str[1..-2].delete('\'').split(',')
ary #=> ["abc", "def", "1234", "234", "abcd", "x", "mnop", "5", "zZzZ"]
The most "idiomatic" way should be using group_by:
ary.group_by(&:size)
If you want to use each, then you could use Enumerable#each_with_object, where the object is an Hash#new with an empty array as default:
ary.each_with_object(Hash.new{ |h,k| h[k] = []}) { |e, h| h[e.size] << e }
Which is the same as
res = Hash.new{ |h,k| h[k] = []}
ary.each { |e| res[e.size] << e }
Not sure why you need to monkeypatch* array here, is this a school exercise or something?
I think your bug is you need to pass in the comma delimiter arg to split.
I would solve the underlying problem as a reduce/inject/fold thing, myself.
s = "['abc','def',1234,234,'abcd','x','mnop',5,'zZzZ']"
splits = s.tr("'[]''",'').split(',') # need to pass in the comma for the split
Hash[splits.inject({}) { |memo,s| memo[s.length] ||= []; memo[s.length] << s; memo }.sort] # doesn't use Array.each but?
{1=>["x", "5"], 3=>["def", "234"], 4=>["1234", "abcd", "mnop"],
5=>["['abc"], 6=>["zZzZ']"]}
I have a hash:
hash = {"a_1_a" => "1", "a_1_b" => "2", "a_1_c" => "3", "a_2_a" => "3",
"a_2_b" => "4", "a_2_c" => "4"}
What's the best way to get the following sub-hashes:
[{"a_1_a" => "1", "a_1_b" => "2", "a_1_c" => "3"},
{"a_2_a" => "3", "a_2_b" => "4", "a_2_c" => "4"}]
I want them grouped by the key, based on the regexp /^a_(\d+)/. I'll have 50+ key/value pairs in the original hash, so something dynamic would work best, if anyone has any suggestions.
If you're only concerned about the middle component you can use group_by to get you most of the way there:
hash.group_by do |k,v|
k.split('_')[1]
end.values.map do |list|
Hash[list]
end
# => [{"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2", "a_1_c"=>"3"}, {"a_2_a"=>"3", "a_2_b"=>"4", "a_2_c"=>"4"}]
The final step is extracting the grouped lists and combining those back into the required hashes.
Code
def partition_hash(hash)
hash.each_with_object({}) do |(k,v), h|
key = k[/(?<=_).+(?=_)/]
h[key] = (h[key] || {}).merge(k=>v)
end.values
end
Example
hash = {"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2", "a_1_c"=>"3", "a_2_a"=>"3", "a_2_b"=>"4", "a_2_c"=>"4"}
partition_hash(hash)
#=> [{"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2", "a_1_c"=>"3"},
# {"a_2_a"=>"3", "a_2_b"=>"4", "a_2_c"=>"4"}]
Explanation
The steps are as follows.
enum = hash.each_with_object({})
#=> #<Enumerator: {"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2", "a_1_c"=>"3", "a_2_a"=>"3",
# "a_2_b"=>"4", "a_2_c"=>"4"}:each_with_object({})>
The first element of this enumerator is generated and passed to the block, and the block variables are computed using parallel assignment.
(k,v), h = enum.next
#=> [["a_1_a", "1"], {}]
k #=> "a_1_a"
v #=> "1"
h #=> {}
and the block calculation is performed.
key = k[/(?<=_).+(?=_)/]
#=> "1"
h[key] = (h[key] || {}).merge(k=>v)
#=> h["1"] = (h["1"] || {}).merge("a_1_a"=>"1")
#=> h["1"] = (nil || {}).merge("a_1_a"=>"1")
#=> h["1"] = {}.merge("a_1_a"=>"1")
#=> h["1"] = {"a_1_a"=>"1"}
so now
h #=> {"1"=>{"a_1_a"=>"1"}}
The next value of enum is now generated and passed to the block, and the following calculations are performed.
(k,v), h = enum.next
#=> [["a_1_b", "2"], {"1"=>{"a_1_a"=>"1"}}]
k #=> "a_1_b"
v #=> "2"
h #=> {"1"=>{"a_1_a"=>"1"}}
key = k[/(?<=_).+(?=_)/]
#=> "1"
h[key] = (h[key] || {}).merge(k=>v)
#=> h["1"] = (h["1"] || {}).merge("a_1_b"=>"2")
#=> h["1"] = ({"a_1_a"=>"1"}} || {}).merge("a_1_b"=>"2")
#=> h["1"] = {"a_1_a"=>"1"}}.merge("a_1_b"=>"2")
#=> h["1"] = {"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2"}
After the remaining four elements of enum have been passed to the block the following has is returned.
h #=> {"1"=>{"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2", "a_1_c"=>"3"},
# "2"=>{"a_2_a"=>"3", "a_2_b"=>"4", "a_2_c"=>"4"}}
The final step is simply to extract the values.
h.values
#=> [{"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2", "a_1_c"=>"3"},
# {"a_2_a"=>"3", "a_2_b"=>"4", "a_2_c"=>"4"}]
I've been having a lot of trouble sifting out regex matches. I could use scan, but since it only operates over a string, and I dont want to use a join on the array in question, it is much more tedious. I want to be able to do something like this:
array = ["a1d", "6dh","th3"].select{|x| x =~ /\d/}
# => ["1", "6", "3"}
However this never seems to work. Is there a work around or do I just need to use scan?
Try: Array#map
> array = ["a1d", "6dh","th3"].map {|x| x[/\d+/]}
#=> ["1", "6", "3"]
Note:
select
Returns a new array containing all elements of ary for which the given
block returns a true value.
In your case each element contains digit and it returns true, so you are getting original element via select. while map will perform action on each element and return new array with performed action on each element.
You can use grep with a block:
array = ["a1d", "6dh", "th3"]
array.grep(/(\d)/) { $1 }
#=> ["1", "6", "3"]
It passes each matching element to the block and returns an array containing the block's results.
$1 is a special global variable containing the first capture group.
Unlike map, only matching elements are returned:
array = ["a1d", "foo", "6dh", "bar", "th3"]
array.grep(/(\d)/) { $1 }
#=> ["1", "6", "3"]
array.map { |s| s[/\d/] }
#=> ["1", nil, "6", nil, "3"]
Depending on your requirements, you may wish to construct a hash.
arr = ["a1d", "6dh", "th3", "abc", "3for", "rg6", "def"]
arr.each_with_object(Hash.new { |h,k| h[k] = [] }) { |str,h| h[str[/\d+/]] << str }
#=> {"1"=>["a1d"], "6"=>["6dh", "rg6"], "3"=>["th3", "3for"], nil=>["abc", "def"]}
Hash.new { |h,k| h[k] = [] } creates an empty hash with a default block, represented by the block variable h. That means that if the hash does not have a key k, the block is executed, adding the key value pair k=>[] to the hash, after which h[k] << k is executed.
The above is a condensed (and Ruby-like) way of writing the following.
h = {}
arr.each do |str|
s = str[/\d+/]
h[s] = [] unless h.key?(s)
h[s] << str
end
h
# => {"1"=>["a1d"], "6"=>["6dh", "rg6"], "3"=>["th3", "3for"], nil=>["abc", "def"]}
The expression in the third line could alternatively be written
arr.each_with_object({}) { |str,h| (h[str[/\d+/]] ||= []) << str }
h[str[/\d+/]] ||= [] sets h[str[/\d+/]] to an empty array if the hash h does not have a key str[/\d+/].
See Enumerable#each_with_object and Hash::new.
#Stefan suggests
arr.group_by { |str| str[/\d+/] }
#=> {"1"=>["a1d"], "6"=>["6dh", "rg6"], "3"=>["th3", "3for"], nil=>["abc", "def"]}
What can I say?
Suppose we have the string "aaabbbccc" and want to use the String#insert to convert the string to "aaa<strong>bbb</strong>ccc". Is this the best way to insert multiple values into a Ruby string using String#insert or can multiple values simultaneously be added:
string = "aaabbbccc"
opening_tag = '<strong>'
opening_index = 3
closing_tag = '</strong>'
closing_index = 6
string.insert(opening_index, opening_tag)
closing_index = 6 + opening_tag.length # I don't really like this
string.insert(closing_index, closing_tag)
Is there a way to simultaneously insert multiple substrings into a Ruby string so the closing tag does not need to be offset by the length of the first substring that is added? I would like something like this one liner:
string.insert(3 => '<strong>', 6 => '</strong>') # => "aaa<strong>bbb</strong>ccc"
Let's have some fun. How about
class String
def splice h
self.each_char.with_index.inject('') do |accum,(c,i)|
accum + h.fetch(i,'') + c
end
end
end
"aaabbbccc".splice(3=>"<strong>", 6=>"</strong>")
=> "aaa<strong>bbb</strong>ccc"
(you can encapsulate this however you want, I just like messing with built-ins because Ruby lets me)
How about inserting from right to left?
string = "aaabbbccc"
string.insert(6, '</strong>')
string.insert(3, '<strong>')
string # => "aaa<strong>bbb</strong>ccc"
opening_tag = '<strong>'
opening_index = 3
closing_tag = '</strong>'
closing_index = 6
string = "aaabbbccc"
string[opening_index...closing_index] =
opening_tag + string[opening_index...closing_index] + closing_tag
#=> "<strong>bbb</strong>"
string
#=> "aaa<strong>bbb</strong>ccc"
If your string is comprised of three groups of consecutive characters, and you'd like to insert the opening tag between the first two groups and the closing tag between the last two groups, regardless of the size of each group, you could do that like this:
def stuff_tags(str, tag)
str.scan(/((.)\2*)/)
.map(&:first)
.insert( 1, "<#{tag}>")
.insert(-2, "<\/#{tag}>")
.join
end
stuff_tags('aaabbbccc', 'strong') #=> "aaa<strong>bbb</strong>ccc"
stuff_tags('aabbbbcccccc', 'weak') #=> "aa<weak>bbbb</weak>cccccc"
I will explain the regex used by scan, but first would like to show how the calculations proceed for the string 'aaabbbccc':
a = 'aaabbbccc'.scan(/((.)\2*)/)
#=> [["aaa", "a"], ["bbb", "b"], ["ccc", "c"]]
b = a.map(&:first)
#=> ["aaa", "bbb", "ccc"]
c = b.insert( 1, "<strong>")
#=> ["aaa", "<strong>", "bbb", "ccc"]
d = c.insert(-2, "<\/strong>")
#=> ["aaa", "<strong>", "bbb", "</strong>", "ccc"]
d.join
#=> "aaa<strong>bbb</strong>ccc"
We need two capture groups in the regex. The first (having the first left parenthesis) captures the string we want. The second captures the first character, (.). This is needed so that we can require that it be followed by zero or more copies of that character, \2*.
Here's another way this can be done:
def stuff_tags(str, tag)
str.chars.chunk {|c| c}
.map {|_,a| a.join}
.insert( 1, "<#{tag}>")
.insert(-2, "<\/#{tag}>")
.join
end
The calculations of a and b above change to the following:
a = 'aaabbbccc'.chars.chunk {|c| c}
#=> #<Enumerator: #<Enumerator::Generator:0x000001021622d8>:each>
# a.to_a => [["a",["a","a","a"]],["b",["b","b","b"]],["c",["c","c","c"]]]
b = a.map {|_,a| a.join }
#=> ["aaa", "bbb", "ccc"]
