rss - How to Use Regex to Ensure Complete Words While Adding a Character Limit to Yahoo Pipes? -

-

i'm pretty new this, excuse me if question isn't clear. i'm pulling rss feed yahoo pipes , using regex modify it. here's i'm trying do:

  1. limit number of characters in entry, but...
  2. make sure item includes complete words, and...
  3. if item shortened, add ellipses, but...
  4. if falls within limits nothing should done

so, if feed's title is: "this article important" , limit 20 characters, result should "this article is..." if title "good article," nothing should happen it.

after doing research think want combine if/then statement lookahead, i.e. go character limit , if there character following space, add ellipses, if number or letter, go final space within limit , add ellipses, if there isn't character following it, don't anything. make sense? there easier way i'm going for?

i appreciate provide. thanks!

try replacing title using following pattern:

^(?=.{23})(.{0,20})(?=\s).*$

with string

$1...

working example: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=04158a7a5ea390b1b0b78ebccadcec79

how work?

  • (?=.{23}) - first, check length @ least 23 (that's 20 + '...', can play that)
  • (.{0,20}) - match @ 20 characters on first group.
  • (?=\s) - make sure there's space after last character. if not, try match fewer characters.
  • .* - match way end, rest of line removed.

an edge case here single word longer 20 characters. if that's problem, can solve using:

^(?=.{23})(.{0,20}(?=\s)|\s{20}).*$

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.
