The current redux-form documentation (version 6.5.0 at the time of this writing) mentions 2 callbacks for the Field object: normalize and parse.
Both descriptions sound pretty similar: They take the value entered by the user in an input field and transform it to a value stored in redux.
What's the difference between these 2 callbacks?
Essentially the two functions do exactly the same thing, i.e. take the value a user has input to the Field and transform it before it's stored in the redux store.
The differences lie in the flavor of these functions and the order in which they are called:
parse parses the string input value should convert it to the type you want to be stored the redux store, for example you parse a date string from a datepicker into a Date object
normalize is meant enforce certain formatting of input values in the redux store, for example ensuring that phone numbers are stored in a cohesive format
When it comes to the order in which these methods are called in the redux-form value lifecycle: parse is called before normalize, which means normalize is called with the parsed input value.
So in short, use parse to convert user input (usually in string form) to a type that suits your needs. Use normalize to enforce a specific input format on the user.
This is what the Value Lifecycle Hooks page tries to explain.

I have a listbox with 2 columns (say "from time" and "to time"). I want to filter user input by 24 hour format only i.e. no other key should be allowed to press except 24 hour time format (i.e 00:00 to 24:00) in the cell. I tried with this: &"0-2"#&"0-3"#:& "0-5"#&"0-9"# it works well but it didn't allow to put something 19:22 or the value after 13:59 in the cell value as I haven't passed other optional value for that 24 hour time format. In regex, it's a bit easy to achieve this ('/^([01][0-9]|2[0-3]):([0-5][0-9])$/') but not sure how this can be done in the 4d database listbox cell field.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I suggest you make the list box columns text and manage the display and UI yourself if you require fine control over the input values.
The Time string method will convert a time value for you:
$timeStr:=Time string(Current time) // $timeStr = "07:23:45"
The input filters are not RegEx and will not give you the kind of fine control you need. They will let you filter unwanted characters (anything besides numbers for instance). Try this for the Entry Filter on the column
!0&9##:##:##
The result will be a text string of the numbers entered. Write a method to take the input string, parse the elements, validate them, update the data source and then return a properly formatted string for display. I would use the On data change form event as the trigger for running the method.
$h:=Num(Substring($inputStr;1;2))
$m:=Num(Substring($inputStr;3;2))
$s:=Num(Substring($inputStr;5;2))
Recent versions of 4D manage time values as seconds since midnight which is why you may get a longint value instead of a 'time' value sometimes. And depending on which version you are using and the type of listbox (collection, entity selection, array, etc.) you may not even have a 'time' type option for the list box column which can be confusing. Given all that it's just easier to stringify the value and work with that.
For example, what do you want to do if a user enters "33:45:00"? If you want to reject the "33" at the outset you can do this by evaluating each character as it is typed. The On After Keystroke form event lets you run your evaluation method after each change in the field and the Get edited text command allows you to see what the user is entering. https://doc.4d.com/4Dv18R3/4D/18-R3/Get-edited-text.301-4901376.en.html
To convert a string (or longint) into a time value use the Time method:
$timeVar:=Time($timeStr)
4D is a typed language and has had a time type since the beginning. However with the addition of ORDA some UI objects no longer support the time type (collection and entity selection list boxes, for example) and use a longint type instead. This can be confusing if you are working with an existing app or older code but attempting to use the newer tools. Be sure to look over
https://developer.4d.com/docs/en/Concepts/time.html
and
https://doc.4d.com/4Dv18/4D/18/Date-and-Time.201-4504355.en.html
You may not need to get so involved in the input. It depends on the nature of the UI and the data. Time and date is tricky in just about every platform.
I am using Steam to attempt to build a prediction service using a python preprocessing script. When python passes the cleaned data to the prediction service in the
variable:value var2:value2 var3:value3
format (as seen in the Spam Detection Example) I get a
ERROR PredictPythonServlet - Failed to parse
error from the service. When I look at the PredictPythonServlet.java file it seems to only use the strMapToRowData function which assumes every value in the input string is a number:
for (String p : pairs) {
String[] a = p.split(":");
String term = a[0];
double value = Float.parseFloat(a[1]);
row.put(term, value);
}
Are character values not allowed to be sent in this format? If so is there a way to get the PredictPythonServlet file to use the csvToRowData function that is defined but never used? I'd like to not have to use One-Hot encoding for my models so being able to pass the actual character string representation would be ideal.
Additionally, I passed the numeric representation found in the model pojo file for the categorical variables and received the error:
hex.genmodel.easy.exception.PredictUnknownTypeException: Unexpected object type java.lang.Double for categorical column home_team
So it looks like the service expects a character string but I can't figure out how to pass it along to the actual model. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The prediction service is using EasyPredictModelWrapper and it can only use what the underlying model uses. Here it's not clear what model you use, but most use numerical float values. In the for loop code snippet you can see that the number has to be float.
How can I get the value of important id and ValueType?
I have tried using web_save_param_regexp (but unfortunately I don't fully understand how the function works).
I have also tried using web_save_param (with the help of offset and length).
unfortunately once again I cannot get the accurate value some values change in length specially when the total amount values dynamically changes per run.
<important id=\"insertsomevalueshere\" record=\"1\" nucTotal=\"NUC609.40\"><total amount=\"68.75\" currency=\"USD\"/><total amount=\"609.40\" currency=\"USD\"/><out avgsomecost=\"540.65\" ValueType=\"insertsomevalueshere\" containsawesomeness=\"1\" Score=\"-97961\" somedatatype=\"1\" typeofData=\"VAL\" web=\"1\">
Put these lines of code before the line of code which does your web request:
web_reg_save_param_regexp("ParamName=importantid","Regexp=<important id=\\\"(.*?)\\\"",LAST);
web_reg_save_param_regexp("ParamName=ValueType","Regexp= ValueType=\\\"(.*?)\\\"",LAST);
You will then have two stored parameters 'importantid' and 'ValueType'
Dynamic number of elements to correlate? Your path for resubmission is through web_custom_request(). You will need to build the string you need dynamically with the name:value pairs for all of the data which needs to be included.
This path will place a premium on your string manipulation skills in the language of the tool. The default path is through C, but you have other language options if your skills are more refined in another language.
I am new to hadoop and have basic idea of map reduce , the input to the map function will be key and value pair. So how do i basically identify when my sentence is completed and how can i count it. Is default input format that is TextInput format can be used or can we use some other input format to do it in a easier way.
I suppose you'd just check the line for periods. Decide whether an elipses (...) should be ignored, etc. Then as each line is passed to the map() method, you'd write out a key/value counting those legitimate periods to the context. The definition of what it means to end a sentence is your call. The logic to do that should be straightforward.
You can make it so that entire sentences are passed, one at a time, to the map() method, but that's much harder to do. You basically take that same logic and put it in a new input format type and corresponding RecordReader. If you have a choice go with the logic in the map() method and not the input format type and record reader.
Whether it is possible in Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.UserProperties to add an array/list of integer numbers and how? Usage of type OlUserPropertyType.olEnumeration leads to an exception at a stage of adding of the parameter.
There is no array support in the MAPI-supported user properties. You would have to serialize the array to a string - OlUserPropertyType.OlText (PT_STRING8) using some serialized array format (XML, CSV, JSON, etc.).
