regex - Creating a PHP array from space delimited text file -


i have text file listing of directories turn array. figured space delimiting work number of spaces varies between each item , spaces in directory name problem. parse text php array.

the text file has rigid structure looks this:

04/17/2013  09:49 pm    <dir>          directory 1 (1994) 03/11/2013  06:48 pm    <dir>          director 2 (1951) 04/15/2013  08:34 pm    <dir>          going number 3 (2000) 08/17/2012  09:50 pm    <dir>          4 (1998) 10/17/2011  05:12 pm    <dir>          , lastly 5 (1986)

i need keep folder date (not time), complete name of directory (as 1 entry) , year in parenthesis. in advance!

sure, use preg_split: 

<?php $str = "04/17/2013  09:49 pm    <dir>          directory 1 (1994) 03/11/2013  06:48 pm    <dir>          director 2 (1951) 04/15/2013  08:34 pm    <dir>          going number 3 (2000) 08/17/2012  09:50 pm    <dir>          4 (1998) 10/17/2011  05:12 pm    <dir>          , lastly 5 (1986)";  function sp($x) {     return preg_split("/\s\s+|\s*\((\d{4}).*\)/", $x,0,preg_split_delim_capture); } $array = preg_split("/\n/", $str); $processed = array_map('sp', $array);  print_r($processed);

this create array of arrays. each line become array, containing array each item. instance, $processed[0][3] contain this directory 1

keep in mind code assume spaces working division must 2 or more; 1 space considered part of same field. (you'll need hand hack according needs)

edit: added part year separated element of array. $processed[0][4] has 1994. (you don't need (), right?)

c++ - End of file on pipe magic during open -

i have c++ application in starting process(wireshark) following. if (fp == null){ fp = popen(processpath, "r"); //processpath process want start if (!fp){ throw std::invalid_argument("cannot start process"); } fprintf(fp, d_msg);//d_msg input want provide process } else if(fp != null){ fprintf(fp, d_msg); } the problem when execute c++ application, start wireshark error end of file on pipe magic during open what should avoid that? also tried using mkfifo create named pipe , execute it. used this: if (fp == null){ system("mkfifo /tmp/mine.pcap"); fp = popen("wireshark -k -i /tmp/mine.pcap", "r"); if (!fp){ dout << "cannot start wireshark"<<std::endl; throw std::invalid_argument("cannot start wireshark"); } input = fopen("/tmp/mine.pcap", "wb"); fprintf(input , d_msg); fclose(input)...

data.table making a copy of table in R -

i doing this: myfun <- function(inputvar_vec){ # inputvar_vec input vector # # result = output vector return(result) } dt[, result := lapply(.sd, myfun), = byvar, .sdcols = inputvar] i getting following warning: warning message: `in `[.data.table`(df1, , `:=`(prop, lapply(.sd, propeventinlastk)), : invalid .internal.selfref detected , fixed taking copy of whole table, := can add new column reference. @ earlier point, data.table has been copied r (or been created manually using structure() or similar). (and more stuff) .... ` my guess because stacking result vectors (after operation), copy being made? can suggest method remove warning? have done using apply functions , thought should extendable here too. my other question is: can pass chunk of rows data frame (subsetted using statement), , call function myfun operate on that? adding example requested # generate data n = 10000 default=na value = 1 df = data.table(id = sample(1:5000, n, replace=true), ...
