I have a tooltip that appears when the user mouses over an element. The problem is that when the tooltip mouses over a word on the far right part of the screen, it can no longer be seen.
I tried the answer by #EPurpl3 here, but couldn't figure out how to replace the span element with the reference to d.TooltipInfo.
I also tried to add a line to the effect of <body onResize="window.location=window.location;"> as described here - but it had no effect.
Here is the code:
var doc = URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([`TooltipInfo Category Function1 Function2 Retention

Update: I can stop the tooltip from disappearing from the left or the right of the window with this:
.style("left", function() {return d3.event.pageX >(window.innerWidth*.75) ? d3.event.pageX - 520+"px": d3.event.pageX + "px"})
I'm now working on making sure that tooltip doesn't disappear out the top or the bottom of the window. I first figured out how to make the "bottom" style look right (requires subtracting mouse position from the total height - something about the way d3 draws a page from top to bottom):
.style("bottom", window.innerHeight - d3.event.pageY+20 +"px")
The problem now is that the tooltip disappears out of the top of the page. I thought I could set a conditional function that will select either "top" or "bottom" for the style attribute. But I don't think d3 allows a function to be set on the style - only on the value. To illustrate, the below line of code shows pretty much the same as the above line of code, but the addition of a function on the style messes up the tooltip position.
.style(function() {return "bottom"}, window.innerHeight - d3.event.pageY+20 +"px")
So: need to figure out some kind of function to call on the value, to stop the tooltip from going out the top of the page. The logic for this is not as straightforward as the horizontal positioning, because the width of the tooltip is fixed, but the height of the tooltip varies with the content. Unless a percentage might work?
Figured it out - needed getBoundingClientRect() to get the height of the tooltip. Once I have the height, and the height of the window, I can write a function that checks if the mouse is at a position less than window.innerHeight - clientrect.height.
Code:
var rect = svgs2.selectAll("rect")
.data(data)
.enter().append("rect")
.attr("class", "bar")
.filter(function(d, i) {
const x = d3.select(this.parentNode).datum();
return x.key == d.Category ? 1 : 0;
})
.attr("height", "12")
.attr("width", function(d, i) {
return String(d.Category).length * 7.3
})
.attr("x", function(d, i) {
return (i * 20) + 10;
})
.attr("y", 8)
.attr("fill", "white")
.style("opacity", "0")
.style("cursor", "pointer")
.on("mouseover", function(d, i) {
div.transition()
.duration(200)
.style("opacity", .9);
div.html(`${d.TooltipInfo}`)
.style("left", function() {
return d3.event.pageX > (window.innerWidth * .75) ? d3.event.pageX - 520 + "px" : d3.event.pageX + "px"
})
.style("bottom", function() {
var clientrect = d3.select(this).node().getBoundingClientRect();
return d3.event.pageY > (window.innerHeight - clientrect.height) ? window.innerHeight - d3.event.pageY + "px" : window.innerHeight - d3.event.pageY - clientrect.height + "px"
})
})
.on("mouseout", function(d) {
div.transition()
.duration(500)
.style("opacity", 0);
});
I have a text file ar. 50 GB size.
I used to process it through TextPipe but atm only mac is available and no TextPipe access.
Is it possible to initiate regex search in this file with good results saving to some other file per matching line?
I was thinking about vim editor but have no sufficient knowledge on where to search for.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
As an example let's assume that I have the code below in my initial.txt file and I want to save lines with "Lorem" in line processed.txt.

For fixed strings use fgrep:
fgrep Lorem initial.txt > processed.txt
For regular expressions use grep and egrep (they have slightly different regexp syntax).
Vim is "genetically" related to other text-processing tools, such as sed or grep. And it also has an embedded sophisticated scripting language, so it is perfectly capable of batch text processing.
But Vim is an interactive text editor, so it feels a little wrong to use it merely as a replacement of awk or grep. However, if you're going to learn and use it for both editing and scripting, it's elegant and powerful.
To get some taste of Vim, you can solve your problem as follows (typing ':' in normal mode will automatically switch into command mode):
:e initial.txt
:g/Lorem/.w! >>processed.txt
I was thinking about vim editor but have no sufficient knowledge on where to search for. Would appreciate any suggestions.
The main problem with Vim is that you have to start from the very beginning, i.e. to learn how to open, edit and save files, and even how to properly exit the application. So you should download and install it and run vimtutor. Next, you should get used to Vim's embedded help system (:h user-manual) which by far is the best Vim's feature.
If you look for more books and tutorials, you can start from here. IMHO, Steve Oualline's "Vi IMproved" is still the best for beginners; and Drew Neil's "Practical Vim" is highly recommended for advanced vimmers.
I have to display multiple long strings (with different length), but I can only display chunks of strings that need them to be between 275 and 295 characters.
So if I have a 3000 words string, It'd be displayed in about 10 pieces.
I'm looking for a way to find the next blank.
For example:
if str[275] != " "
# find next blank
p str[0..next_blank]
else
p str[0..275]
end
I thought of finding the index of the next blank in the 275-295th characters range, but I couldn't find how to do it in Ruby.
Any help will be much appreciated !
Rails has a method word_wrap which uses a simple regular expression:
str = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequat. Quis aute iure reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint obcaecat cupiditat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.'
puts str.gsub(/(.{1,80})(\s+|$)/, "\\1\n")
Output:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor
incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud
exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequat. Quis aute
iure reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla
pariatur. Excepteur sint obcaecat cupiditat non proident, sunt in culpa qui
officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
The regular expression matches (and captures) up to 80 characters (.{1,80}) that are followed by whitespace or end-of-line (\s+|$).
Not using regular expresions, tear the input apart and put it back together:
str = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit, sed eiusmod tempor incidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequat. Quis aute iure reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint obcaecat cupiditat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.'
