String delimiters in BibTex

I've just started using BibDesk in macOS to manage bibliographic information. I have perhaps 275 entries in a mixed set of *.bib files created over a number of years using vim and TeXShop wherein I used double quotes to delimit strings, as in:

author = "Noble, Ben",
title  = "Applied Linear Algebra",

The default behavior in BibDesk (I am using v1.8.3) uses { } to delimit strings, as in:

	author = {Noble, Ben},
	title = {Applied Linear Algebra},

and reports an error for every instance of double quotes. There must be a way to force BibDesk to use " " but so far all my efforts to find this setting in BibDesk preferences or by querying google have failed to reveal this setting. Man, I do not want to convert my *.bib files, since BibTex will accept either pair of delimiters. I like to use " " for strings and reserve { } for accented non-English characters. BibDesk is very powerful, and I would like to use it, but only if I can make this switch. Any suggestions?

Read a txt file into a DataFrame with only pre-defined field locations act as delimiter

Hello there,

I am trying to read a txt file into a DataFrame using pd.read_csv().

However I soon realized that I cannot use a simple delimiter. The txt file is formatted using the locations and length of each field, such as:

FIELD LOCATION LENGTH
Client ID 1 10
Client Name 11 60

Each of the fields could contain a comma, space, or other characters that usually act as a delimiter.

A typical line would look like:

DIDIDI12354John, Doe                                                   @@47385y43785yHUIBBIBJIBIBUBK@@SUBUKBCSHB77                                    NUIKBHUS1234                                                  Unit 7                        45             NON'EXIST RD                                                          A                             

The only way to separate the fields seems to be using the position provided in the picture.

I wonder if there's a way that I can perform the task?

Thanks! πŸ™‚

Read string by delimiter and new line

I have a text file that has data on each line:

name;number;minutes

I can create new line numbers by the semicolon delimiter, however, after minutes, there is no semicolon, just a line break, so my program doesn't recognise each new line as a new line also. The current code I have is:

int main () {

  cout << "Enter the name and extension of the file: ";
  cin >> filename;
  inputfile.open(filename.c_str(), fstream::in);
  if (inputfile.is_open() == false) {
    cout << "ERROR: not able to open " << filename << endl;
    cout << "Please try again." << endl;
    return main();
  }
  else {
    cout << "Displaying all lines from " << filename << endl;
    number = 0;
    while (getline(inputfile, line, ';')) {
      number++;
      cout << number << ": " << line << endl;
    }
    cout << "Displayed " << number << " lines from the file.\n";
    inputfile.close();
  }
}

This currently returns:

1: Name
2: Number
3: Minutes
Name
4:Number

and so on. As you can see, the new line within the text file, where the second name begins, does not have a line number associated to it. To read the semicolon delimiter and a line break within the text file as new lines, I've tried:

while ((getline(inputfile, line ';')) || (getline(inputfile, line '\n)))

But to no avail. what else can I try?

Thanks

How to separate and split text in google sheets based on delimiters?

I have raw text in form of strings

<string name="ServerStarting">Server will restart in 10 minutes!</string>

So how do I pull the first portion (until first ">") in a separate cell?

How do I divide the above text in two portions:
<string name="ServerStarting">

and

Server will restart in 10 minutes!</string>

I remember using this function some long time ago, but forgot how to do it.

I think it had something to do with delimiters.

Separating Strings through a Delimiter

Even after racking my brains over it I can't figure this out at all.

I'm stuck at this problem that requires me to copy two separate parts of a single input string from the user (in the format of a=b) into two separate string variables ("a" and "b") using a delimiter ("="). Each string variable also has a max character limit.

Then I'm supposed to output the string variables into the console.

I thought of setting up a loop through the string until it finds the delimiter but I can't figure out how I'm supposed to do that, or how to separate the separate string variables after that.

I've checked both Tab and Other in the delimiter option list, but I can't figure out how to input this extended character in the box.
Is there a way to do so, or am I stuck (seemingly as ever with Excel) with pre-massaging data for import?

Regex to select data after Nth comma (or any delimiter)

Hello everyone, this is not a question but a solution! I was going to post on here yesterday about a regex I was making but decided not to, then ended up figuring it out with the help of a friend.

A little backstory as to why I had to make this: coworker and I are sending firewall logs to our SIEM (what I found said that our SIEM uses java regex) and every line is comma delimited. We're making custom events for the data and wanted a robust yet specific regex because not every space between a comma has data. So, onto the regex!

Here is the blurb of data I was working with (sanitized, of course):

&lt;13&gt;Apr 20 16:19:36 SERVERNAME.domain.net 1,2021/04/20 16:19:36,013244444796,THREAT,data,2049,2021/04/20 16:19:36,1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2,3.3.3.3,4.4.4.4,FWRULE NAME,,,sharepoint-online-uploading,vsys1,fwrulename,zone,protocol.stuff,ethernet1,SourceOS,2021/04/20 16:19:36,34916,1,49538,443,11070,443,0x1406000,tcp,alert,"'FILE_01.docx'",DataPattern-Conf(60004),computer-and-internet-info,low,client-to-server,69181231233089036,0xa000000000000000,100.0.0.0-100.255.255.255,United States,0,,0,,,3,,,,,,,,0,13,14,35,11,,SERVERNAME,,,,,0,,0,,N/A,unknown,AppThreat-0-0,0x0,0,424949495,

The regex we came up with is:

(?:[^\,]*\,){9}(.*?)\,

Explanation:

(?: ) means non-capture group, ie "Look for this thing, but don't capture it"

[^\,] ignore this character (comma), but select everything * up to this character \,

{9} is doing the leg work, we are able to specify which N block of data we want.

(.*?) capture all characters (keep in mind, this is after the regex has identified the block of data we want) \, up to this character (comma)

And finally, here it is working on Regex101:

https://regex101.com/r/0DpMBK/1

I scoured over google, stack overflow, etc for hours and couldn't find this exact issue, so I really hope this helps someone out there!

Capture digits with delimiters, ignoring an optional terminating delimiter

SOLVED


I feel like a needy noob for asking for help with this, and I'm sure the pattern will be blindingly obvious once I see it, but I can't figure this one out. Friday woes.

I have strings in the following format:

(digits with delimiters) (text)

I would like to get the respective groups.

All known examples have a space between the two, but for safety's sake, I'd like to assume there isn't a space between the two groups.


Examples

>2.035 tons

Expected groups: (2.035), ( tons)

>1.5, three

Expected groups: (1.5), ( three)

>20,000 leagues

Expected groups: (20,000), ( leagues)

Naive Regex

(^[\d\.\,]*)(.+)

Problems with the above pattern

  • If the digit group terminates with a delimiter (comma, period), then that terminal delimiter is included in the first capture group. I don't want this. For example, "1.5" and "three" are separated by a comma; "1.5," is not a value with a trailing/hanging delimiter.

Tried thus far

  • positive and negative lookaheads
  • conditional constructs

Flavor

  • Python >= 3.6

Split By Delimiter only produces 2 columns when there should be more

I am trying to split out a column of data which is delimited by a semi-colon ( ; ). The problem is whenever I run the Split Columns function in Power Query editor, it only produces 2 columns, when there should be more. I know there should be more because I have checked but the issue is I do not know what the maximum is, as there is over 140k lines of data.

Whenever I select the column and choose Split Columns, the number of columns indicated under advanced options is 2. I have tried deleting this but to no avail.

My work around annoyingly has been to edit the .csv file directly and use Text To Columns in Excel. I have then reimported the modified file and I can then Unpivot the columns as planned.

This is obviously really annoying though and I was hoping someone might know what is causing this. I have never had this issue before but I don't think I have had a dataset this large. Not sure that should be an issue though.

Trying to find key pair on C++ map after using delimiter on string but then this happens, how to fix?

I created a map that contains morse code paired with its alphabetical counterpart. What I intended on doing was, after my program did its thing, that the string would be split up into different parts, as it would result in something like this for example:

.-/./--

The delimiter would use the dash as a splitter and output that but separated(without the /)

However, the problem was when I tried to output its alphabetical counterpart within the delimiter loop; it would keep outputting the last value from the string, but nothing else since I assumed they got deleted. This is the code:

if (j &gt;= dataprocess.datasize - 1) {

while ((pos = container.find(delimiter)) != string::npos) {

token = container.substr(0, pos);

cout &lt;&lt; token &lt;&lt; endl;

container.erase(0, pos + delimiter.length());

cout &lt;&lt; map1[container] &lt;&lt; endl; -- the line that finds the pair

finish = true;

}

cout &lt;&lt; container &lt;&lt; endl;

}

It only works once and just outputs the final value. I just do not know how to get it to convert all the other values that it is going through too
