Would anyone be able to give me an example of how this Apache directive, VirtualDocumentRoot "/sites/%-2.0.%-1/www" would resolve a request. I have read the docs and searched for examples but it still does not make any sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.
It seems like this is a roundabout way of saying take the last two segments of the hostname.
The interpreted part is %-2.0.%-1
%: begins the interpolation, that's easy.
-: means go right-to-left counting which segment of the Hostname the next digit refers to
2: 2nd component of the Hostname
The ".0" is kind of a hack to allow you to include a literal "." immediately after a %X
.: literal "."
%-1: The last component of the Hostname, e.g. com/net/org/biz/uk
So this entire expression just grabs the "last two" components of the hostname separated by a dot.
e.g. foo.example.com, www.example.com and example.com go to the same place on-disk.

I'm using Sphinx to document a command line utility written in Python. I want to be able to document a command line option, such as --region like this:
**--region** <region_name>
in ReST and then use Sphinx to to generate my HTML and man pages for me.
This works great when generating man pages but in the generated HTML, the -- gets turned into - which is incorrect. I have found that if I change my source ReST document to look like this:
**---region** <region_name>
The HTML generates correctly but now my man pages have --- instead of --. Also incorrect.
I've tried escaping the dashes with a backslash character (e.g. \-\-) but that had no effect.
Any help would be much appreciated.
This is a configuration option in Sphinx that is on by default: the html_use_smartypants option (http://sphinx-doc.org/config.html?highlight=dash#confval-html_use_smartypants).
If you turn off the option, then you will have to use the Unicode character '–' if you want an en-dash.
With
**-\\-region** <region_name>
it should work.
In Sphinx 1.6 html_use_smartypants has been deprecated, and it is no longer necessary to set html_use_smartypants = False in your conf.py or as an argument to sphinx-build. Instead you should use smart_quotes = False.
If you want to use the transformations formerly provided by html_use_smartypants, instead it is recommended to use smart_quotes, e.g., smart_quotes = True.
Note that at the time of this writing Read the Docs pins sphinx==1.5.3, which does not support the smart_quotes option. Until then, you'll need to continue using html_use_smartypants.
EDIT It appears that Sphinx now uses smartquotes instead of docutils smart_quotes. h/t #bad_coder.
To add two dashes, add the following:
.. include:: <isotech.txt>
|minus|\ |minus|\ region
Note the backward-slash and the space. This avoids having a space between the minus signs and the name of the parameter.
You only need to include isotech.txt once per page.
With this solution, you can keep the extension smartypants and write two dashes in every part of the text you need. Not just in option lists or literals.
As commented by #mzjn, the best way to address the original submitter's need is to use Option Lists.
The format is simple: a sequence of lines that start with -, --, + or /, followed by the actual option, (at least) two spaces and then the option's description:
-l long listing
-r reversed sorting
-t sort by time
--all do not ignore entries starting with .
The number of spaces between option and description may vary by line, it just needs to be at least two, which allows for a clear presentation (as above) on the source, as well as on the generated document.
Option Lists have syntax for an option argument as well (just put an additional word or several words enclosed in <> before the two spaces); see the linked page for details.
The other answers on this page targeted the original submitter's question, this one addresses their actual need.
I thought I had it figured out, but it appears that my regex still has quirks in it. Basically I would like to use the same regex pattern to match the following major email clients (Gmail, Yahoo, and regular email):
"Brian Mang" <brian.mang#email.com> -- Case1
Brian Mang (brian.mang#email.com) -- Case2
<brian.mang#email.com> -- Case3
brian.mang#email.com -- Case4
I had the following regex pattern:
/[\W"]*(?<name>.*?)[\"]*?\s*[<(](?<email>\w.*)[>)]/.match(contact)
and it works for all Cases 1-3, but I cant get it to pick up case 4, I tried messing around with it but cant figure it out cause it breaks the other cases. Any idea what I need to change/modify to make my regex pick up all of the 4 cases? Thank you.
Try this
[\W"]*(?<name>.*?)[\"]*?\s*[<(]?(?<email>\S+#\S+)[>)]?
See it here on Regexr
I made the classes surrounding the address optional and changed the part that matches the email to \S+#\S+ that means at least one non-whitespace followed by a # then at least one more non-whitespace character.
Since the above version matches the closing character also, you can restrict the part after the # a bit more
[\W"]*(?<name>.*?)[\"]*?\s*[<(]?(?<email>\S+#[^\s>)]+)[>)]?
see it here on Regexr
Edit: This one works for all four:
[\W"]*(?<name>.*?)[\"]*?\s*[<(]?(?<email>\S+#[^)>]+)[>)]?
I've got a script that searches through a logfile for a specific trigger, and then pulls out the line when it's found. For example, this is a line I'm looking for:
7/2/10 9:24:12 AM puppetmasterd[63092] Could not resolve 10.13.1.190: no name for 10.13.1.190
It saves this line into a variable "line", but I'd like to be able to extract only the IP Address.
Our IP Addresses all start with 10.13 - is there an easy way to search for that in this variable and then isolate ONLY the IP address into a variable?
matches = line.scan(/10\.13\.[12]?[0-9]?[0-9]\.[12]?[0-9]?[0-9]/);
You want to read about regular expressions on Ruby. Your specific problem is fairly easy, so it would be a good learning exercise. (Try the tutorial if the first link is too advanced!)
I am trying to construct a regex to extract a domain given a url.
for:
http://www.abc.google.com/
http://abc.google.com/
https://www.abc.google.com/
http://abc.google.com/
should give:
abc.google.com
URI.parse('http://www.abc.google.com/').host
#=> "www.abc.google.com"
Not a regex, but probably more robust then anything we come up with here.
URI.parse('http://www.abc.google.com/').host.gsub(/^www\./, '')
If you want to remove the www. as well this will work without raising any errors if the www. is not there.
Don't know much about ruby but this regex pattern gives you the last 3 parts of the url excluding the trailing slash with a minumum of 2 characters per part.
([\w-]{2,}\.[\w-]{2,}\.[\w-]{2,})/$
you may be able to use the domain_name gem for this kind of work. From the README:
require "domain_name"
host = DomainName("a.b.example.co.uk")
host.domain #=> "example.co.uk"
Your question is a little bit vague. Can you give a precise specification of what it is exactly that you want to do? (Preferable with a testsuite.) Right now, all your question says is that you want a method that always returns 'abc.google.com'. That's easy:
def extract_domain
return 'abc.google.com'
end
But that's probably not what you meant …
Also, you say that you need a Regexp. Why? What's wrong with, for example, using the URI class? After all, parsing and manipulating URIs is exactly what it was made for!
require 'uri'
URI.parse('https://abc.google.com/').host # => 'abc.google.com'
And lastly, you say you are "trying to extract a domain", but you never specify what you mean by "domain". It looks you are sometimes meaning the FQDN and sometimes randomly dropping parts of the FQDN, but according to what rules? For example, for the FQDN abc.google.com, the domain name is google.com and the host name is abc, but you want it to return abc.google.com which is not just the domain name but the full FQDN. Why?
Is there an api in windows that retrieves the server name from a UNC path ? (\\server\share)
Or do i need to make my own ?
I found PathStripToRoot but it doesn't do the trick.
I don't know of a Win32 API for parsing a UNC path; however you should check for:
\\computername\share
\\?\UNC\computername\share (people use this to access long paths > 260 chars)
You can optionally also handle this case: smb://computername/share and this case hostname:/directorypath/resource
Read here for more information
This is untested, but maybe a combination of PathIsUNC() and PathFindNextComponent() would do the trick.
I don't know if there is a specific API for this, I would just implement the simple string handling on my own (skip past "\\" or return null, look for next \ or end of string and return that substring) possibly calling PathIsUNC() first
If you'll be receiving the data as plain text you should be able to parse it with a simple regex, not sure what language you use but I tend to use perk for quick searches like this. Supposing you have a large document containing multiple lines containing one path per line you can search on \\'s I.e
m/\\\\([0-9][0-9][0-9]\.(repeat 3 times, of course not recalling ip address requirements you might need to modify the first one for sure) then\\)? To make it optional and include the trailing slash, and finally (.*)\\/ig it's rough but should do the trick, and the path name should be in $2 for use!
I hope that was clear enough!
