python - Match but not return regular expression between two matches -

-

i'm trying retrieve 2 distinct items without matching term in between using regular expressions:

[[a]] son of [[b]]

i thought work:

\[\[[a-za-z\s]+\]\](?:(.*son of.*))\[\[[\|,a-za-z\s]+\]\]

but it's not quite working. how can match , b without returning "son of"?

i assume have string [[worf]] son of [[mogh]], want "return" (i.e. match) [[worf]] , [[mogh]]. so, you'll need capturing groups (parentheses) around portions of regular expression want capture (aka "return"). in order not return son of, you'll need remove capturing group have in there (nested within (?:...)).

in code:

>>> s = '[[worf]] son of [[mogh]]' >>> p = re.compile('(\[\[[a-za-z\s]+\]\])(?:.*son of.*)(\[\[[\|,a-za-z\s]+\]\])') >>> print p.match(s).groups() ('[[worf]]', '[[mogh]]')

if you're using .groups() method matched sections, can drop non-capturing group around .*son of.*, may make re more readable (i happen think makes intention -- not capture -- more clear).

c# - Is it possible to remove an existing registration from Autofac container builder? -

-
something along lines: builder.registertype<mytype>().as<itype>(); builder.registertype<mytype2>().as<itype>(); builder.deregistertype<mytype>().as<itype>() var container = builder.build(); var types = container.resolve<ienumerable<itype>>(); assert.istrue(types.count == 1); assert.istrue(types[0].gettype == typeof(mytype2)); scenario: go through bunch of assemblies , go register types want make sure have 1 implementation of given type. need before create container. track on own nice if autofac me bit. this cannot done directly using containerbuilder , unless start on new one. mind you, having first built container should able construct new container filtering away unwanted types , reusing registrations first container. this: ... var container = builder.build(); builder = new containerbuilder(); var components = container.componentregistry.registrations .where(cr => cr.activator.limittype != typ...

php - Mysql PK and FK char(36) vs int(10) -

-
i have read mysql can handle indexes , searches better if tables keys integers rather char(36) uuid's. is worth converting int(10)? note: use 1 server , have have plans use multiple databases concurrently therefore removing 1 of big reasons using uuid. our tables innodb if makes difference. thanks in advance. usually rdbms can handle integer keys pk more efficient, other datatypes. reason how build index column, yes: long dont require string (or other typed) keys, should use integers. however: char(36) , int(10) far away being equal, because int(10) much smaller, char(36). dont know, if require many different keys, should keep in mind. update, complete last paragraph: int(10) 32-bit, char(36) 36 - ^byte^ (= 288-bit). not mean, int consumes less space, means, char(36) has 4 times more different keys.
