sql - Pattern Matching and Replacement -


let's have table this:

text_col --------------- apple, pear apple/orange, pear~pear|pear kiwi banana pear\kiwi

i want change pear in column watermelon.

all can think of select rows have pear, , update pear watermelon 1 one.

is there better/cleaner way it?

i trying create plpgsql trigger function achieve this.

what replace function?

function

replace(string text, text, text)

description

replace occurrences in string of substring substring to

sample

replace('abcdefabcdef', 'cd', 'xx') abxxefabxxef

for code simple update:

update table t set text_col = replace( text_col, 'pear', 'watermelon' );

updated due igor romanchenko suggestion:

update table t  set text_col = replace( text_col, 'pear', 'watermelon' ) text_col '%pear%';

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), ...
