I did a search on this topic and I am not that JSON familiar, so I thought I'd see if I can find the answer here to my question from the community.
I have a view from a list that I am formatting in SharePoint (SP) that creates some automated JSON. It simply colors the items based on if the value matches in the generated JSON code. I am trying to tweak it but having trouble getting the format to come up as a match.
I am trying to use just the one column called Display. It's a calculated field which concatenates a bunch of string text.
Here is what the generated section of code from SP I am trying to tweak looks like (this is not all of it):
{ "operator": "==",
"operands": [
"[$Display]",
"LOCATED"
]
}, =if(#isSelected == "true" etc...
So the formatting will happen if the data in field Display = LOCATED returning true and will apply the formatting. What I am trying to do, is get some sort of string contains or wild card matching.
The contents of the field Display in the SP list will contain something dynamic and possibly the word LOCATED somewhere in the text.
So ideally I'd like to tweak this code to return true for the formatting if the Display field content said something like "John Doe LOCATED New York" for example.
if anyone has any ideas how I could solve this that would be great. Also I was trying another field which is a choice field for exact matching but I couldn't get it to work either.
Thanks.
This issue has been resolved, by doing an exact field match instead of wildcarding.
Sorry, but uhrm, I'd like to use regexp (actually I'd use something else but I want to do the task within a Matlab function) to pick a single row containing desired keywords within an html table.
I am using Matlab calling function regexpi (case-insensitive version of regexp), which is akin to PHP regex from what I can tell.
Ok, here's a snippet from such an html table to parse:
<tr><td>blu</td><td>value</td></tr><tr><td>findme</td><td>value</td></tr><tr><td>ble</td><td>value</td></tr>
The desired row to pick contains the word "findme".
(added:) Content of other cells and tags in the table could be anything (here "bla" is a dummy value)- the important part is the presence of "findme" and that a single line (not more) is caught (or all lines containing "findme" but such behaviour is not expected). Any paired name/value table in a wikipedia page is a good example.
I tinkered with https://regex101.com/ using whatever I could dig up at the Matlab documentation (forward/backward looking, combinations of :,> and ?), but have failed to identify a pattern that will pick just the right row (or all those that contain the keyword "findme"). The following pattern for instance will pick the text but not the entire row: <tr[^>]*>[^>]*.*?(findme).*?<\/td .
Pattern <tr[^>]*>(.*?findme.*?)<\/tr[^>]*> picks the row but is too greedy and picks preceding rows.
Note that the original task I had set out was to capture entire tables and then parse these, but the Matlab regexp-powered function I found for the task had trouble with nested tables (or I had trouble implementing it for the task).
The question is how to return a row containing desired keywords from an html table, programmatically, within a matlab function (without calling an external program)? Bonus question is how to solve the nested table issue, but maybe that's another question.
I suggest you split up the string with strsplit and use contains for the filtering, which is a lot more readable and maintainable than a regex pattern:
htmlString = ['<tr><td>blu</td><td>value</td></tr><tr><td><a',...
'href="bla">findme</a></td><td>value</td></tr><tr><td><a',...
'href="ble">ble</a></td><td>value</td></tr>'];
keyword = 'findme';
splitStrings = strsplit(htmlString,'<tr>');
desiredRow = ['<tr>' splitStrings{contains(splitStrings,keyword)}]
The output is:
<tr><td>findme</td><td>value</td></tr>
Alternatively you may also combine extractBetween and contains:
allRows = extractBetween(htmlString,'<tr>','</tr>');
desiredRow = ['<tr>' allRows{contains(allRows,keyword)} '</tr>']
If you must use regex:
regexp(htmlString,['<tr><td>[^>]+>' keyword '.*?<\/tr>'],'match')
Try this
%<td>(.*?)%sg

I have a question about how to query a 'checkboxWizard' BLOB field. In have added a such field to tl_member. This is working very fine. I can add “0 to N” selection to each members. Let’s call this field “myBlob”.
Now the questions is how to query “myBlob” with the Contao way? Let’s say I want all member that are in the postal code “12120” and that have the id “2” of “myBlob” selected. Not only “2” but at least this one.
$arrColumn[] = "tl_member.postal=?";
$arrValues[] = 12120;
$arrColumn[] = "tl_member.myBlob=?"; <- how to say “contains in the blob” here?
$arrValues[] = 2;
self::findBy($arrColumn, $arrValues)
The only way to do this (when using the default Contao method for such relationships) is to create a query like:
… WHERE myBlob LIKE '%"2"%'
So in your case it might be:
$arrColumn[] = "tl_member.myBlob LIKE ?";
$arrValues[] = '%"2"%';
However, this is of course cumbersome and might not work in all cases.
May be a better way would be to use codefog/contao-haste with its 'many to many' helper: https://github.com/codefog/contao-haste/blob/master/docs/Model/index.md
This way you will have a separate table containing the references.
I recently started a new job with a company and my first task is to update some quite old software for them.
There is a big back story but basically the software was written in PB8 (around 1997) and no one within the company (including me) has had any experience with PowerBuilder before and as the newbie I have been tasked to update and maintain it until a replacement has been approved and can be developed.
We have the license for PowerBuilder 12.5 so I am using PB12.5 Classic to do everything. The original developer cannot be contacted for support and no documentation exists.
One thing I am trying to understand, that will be a huge help in the future, is how to determine where functions are defined and where variables get their values..
The example I am working on at the moment is the following scenario.
There is a data window with tabs, named tab_detail each tab displays different whatever little orange men are in the tree list.
One of these are called dw_detail which allows pasting of data. None of the other tabs allow pasting of data, but I would like them to. dw_detail has an event rbuttondown() with the following code in it:
Window w_parentwin
If ib_add_mode Or ib_chg_mode Then
w_parentwin = Parent.GetParent().GetParent()
m_dwpaste m_pop_paste
m_pop_paste = CREATE m_dwpaste
m_pop_paste.idw_data = This
If ii_agent_code > 0 And Not IsNull(id_period) And Clipboard() <> "" Then
m_pop_paste.m_popup.m_paste.Enabled = TRUE
Else
m_pop_paste.m_popup.m_paste.Enabled = FALSE
End If
m_pop_paste.m_popup.PopMenu(w_parentwin.PointerX(), w_parentwin.PointerY())
DESTROY(m_pop_paste)
End If
When I add that code to the rbuttondown() event of tab number 2 (dw_adjustment) tab 2 now allows paste when I right click within the dw_adjustment data window but the data gets pasted to the fields within the dw_detail tab not the fields on the dw_adjustment tab.
I have tried debugging and stepping through the code but there are thousands of values in the variable window and without the ability to search I cannot find the variables used above and what their values are or why data gets pasted to the dw_detail tab instead of the dw_adjustment tab when I paste into the dw_adjustment tab.
Basically I am looking for any helpful tips on where to look or what the above is doing and why everything pastes to tab 1 instead of the tab I clicked paste in.
If more detail is needed from code from a different location or more information is needed I am happy to provide it.
As suggested by Seki I found the m_popup when double clicked it came up with wf_pastereturn():
Integer li_idx, li_rows, li_dwrows, li_comm, li_seqno
String ls_approval_type
If tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.RowCount() > 0 Then
li_idx = 1
li_dwrows = tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.RowCount()
Do Until li_idx > li_dwrows
ls_approval_type = tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_type [li_idx]
If IsNull(ls_approval_type) or ls_approval_type = "" Then
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.DeleteRow(li_idx)
Else
li_idx++
End If
li_dwrows = tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.RowCount()
Loop
End If
If li_dwrows > 0 Then
li_seqno = Long(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.seq_no [li_dwrows])
End If
li_seqno += 10
If Clipboard() <> "" Then
If tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.ImportClipboard(1, li_rows, 1, 4, 3) <= 0 Then
MessageBox("Invalid Data", "Unable to paste!", StopSign!)
Return -1
End If
li_rows = tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.RowCount()
li_dwrows++
For li_idx = li_dwrows To li_rows
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_type [li_idx] = trim(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_type [li_idx])
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_no [li_idx] = trim(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.approval_no [li_idx])
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.agent_code [li_idx] = ii_agent_code
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.period [li_idx] = id_period
li_comm = f_new_commission(Long(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.value_of_work[li_idx]), id_period)
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.levy_payable[li_idx]= &
inv_rate.of_CalculateLevyPayable (Long(tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.value_of_work[li_idx]), id_period)
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.comm_deductable [li_idx] = li_comm
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.commission [li_idx] = li_comm
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.seq_no [li_idx] = li_seqno
li_seqno += 10
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.agent_return_detail_create_date[li_idx] = Today()
tab_detail.tabpage_details.dw_detail.Object.agent_return_detail_create_user[li_idx] = SQLCA.Logid
Next
Clipboard("")
Return 0
Else
Return -1
End If
I modified the function to use the windows SelectedTab property. Data will now paste into the tab but in the wrong input fields. I looked further and the data columns for the ImportClipboard function do not line up.
How is the best way to change the order of the selected database columns?
Here is a screenshot of what I mean by tabs:
So within the main program window, there are the above tabs, within each tab (where the input fields are) there is a data window labelled with the dw_ prefix.
Thanks heaps for your help.
I think first you should do some short tutorials. Please check out these:
PowerBuilder Classic 12/12.5 guide/tutorials
These are short and useful.
On the other side you are able to select specific variables in your own "watch variable" list, so you do not have to search over the several variables. You can right click on the variable name and do a Quickwatch or you can Insert the variable name in the Watch window.

The action with a contextual menu is in 2 times :
handle the mouse right click to display a contextual menu
perform an action among the one or several actions provided by the popup menu
You shown the pbscript that is displaying the menu with PopMenu() if there is something in the clipboard (Clipboard() <> "") and maybe you did not noticed that the pasting action is somewhere else.
Look in m_popup: there must be some code inside that may be hard-coded to paste in dw_detail. If so, maybe that you could store in the window instance variables a reference to the currently processed dw for the contextual menu.
Something like :
datawindow idw_current in the instance variables
then in the rbuttondown() event idw_current = this (this being the datawindow the rbuttondown() event belongs to)
and finally in the menu reuse the id_current instead of a hardcoded dw_detail
Concerning your question about where the variables are modified: what you can do is searching the variables by their name (right click on the target or a single pbl or object then 'search'), and put a breakpoint on the lines where they are affected. If you run in debug mode (CtrlDCtrlT instead of CtrlR) you will be able to trace when a variable is modified.
Paste Problem
Pass 1
It's hard to tell for sure, but I'd look at the code of m_dwpaste.m_popup.m_paste.Clicked. The worse case scenario is that dw_detail is hard coded into that script; the slightly better case is that it has a more flexible routine in there, but somehow dw_adjustment doesn't fit into that algorithm.
Pass 2
With the new information, we can see that the code of wf_pastereturn() (I'm not sure how you got to this script, but this looks like the culprit) is not simply pasting, but doing a lot more that involves specific fields. In fact, it's not just pasting, it's importing the data, which means that it's assuming the contents of the clipboard are not only in a specific format, but match the data set of the DataWindow (see the Columns pane in the DW painter, and be careful not to confuse the data set part of the DataWindow with the UI part). The question is, do you want:
"Pasting" like copying text from Notepad into a browser form; just putting text into the current field?
"Pasting" exactly like the other DataWindow, including assumptions that all the same columns mentioned in the script are in both DataWindows?
"Pasting" something like this script, but customized for the data set in the new DataWindow?
These all require somewhat different solutions, combined with the differences I asked about in my comment about tabs vs. DataWindows.
Finding Stuff
I'm going to give an unapologetically biased point of view, because I'm the author of a tool that, among other things, helps you search PowerBuilder code called PBL Peeper.
If you're looking at code in the Browse tab, and you want to see other mentions of the variable, you can select it, right click, and either
search forward or back within the script
search for the object name in the tree on the left (it'll make more sense when you see it)
search either the rest of the object or the rest of the application
Finding where a variable is assigned is more difficult than it sounds, because of the multiple syntaxes that could be involved.
// assigns a value on instantiation
int i = 1
// assigns a value when executed
i = 1
// does not assign a value
IF i = 1 THEN
// assigns a value possibly if the parameter is passed by reference (kind of like a pointer to the variable)
f_foo (i)
Finding the setting of a variable can be helped by understanding variable scope. If the variable is local, you only need to search the script. If the scope is instance or shared, you need to search the object (as above, pretty easy) and its descendants (easy to go to a given descendant with an RMB on the treeview, harder to search on a set of descendants). If the scope is global, you want to search the entire app.
Finding where a selected function is declared is possible, but you need to know a little secret (or RTFM). The Find on the RMB menu uses the parameters from the Find page, so you need to set Portion Type to All, not just Scripts, to find where functions are declared. Alternatively, you can use the Lists / Scripts pages and find the script using the functions on that page (Find, QuickFind, Filter, etc...).
The tool has a plethora of functionalities that let you find, filter and sift through code to get at what you're after. The above is just a quick introduction.
Good luck,
Terry.
We are working on magento database and tables. Magento seems to write a code in table sales_flat_order field protect_code to define if there is a invoice or a shipment done already. It would look something like
01b335 or
a0a243
But there is no key to understand what this protection code means. Is there an explanation of the meaning of these codes and how they are generated?
Where is it generated?
If you look in app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order.php on around line 2052, you will find the following:
$this->setData('protect_code', substr(md5(uniqid(mt_rand(), true) . ':' . microtime(true)), 5, 6));
This is where protect_code is generated for the order (using a combination of md5, uniqid, and random integer.
What is it used for?
If you look in app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Helper/Guest.php and find the loadValidOrder function. You will see protect_code used in some areas to ensure the order being loaded is the correct one for the guest's cookie value.
It's also used in other areas, such as tracking information comparisons. You can see several instances of the getProtectCode() method being called in the Shipment models to compare the order to the tracking information. An example of a function that uses it is:
public function getTrackingInfoByTrackId()
{
$track = Mage::getModel('sales/order_shipment_track')->load($this->getTrackId());
if ($track->getId() && $this->getProtectCode() == $track->getProtectCode()) {
$this->_trackingInfo = array(array($track->getNumberDetail()));
}
return $this->_trackingInfo;
}
As you can see with $this->getProtectCode() == $track->getProtectCode(), the tracking protect_code must match the Shipment protect_code.
