validValueType.ValueTypeGroup
["\"is_enabled\": false", "\"value\":\"OUT\""]
failedRecord.record

fun publishAlert(failedRecord: Record<String>) {
if (validValueType.ValueTypeGroup.contains(failedRecord.record)) {
// do stuff
} else {
// no match do other stuff
}
}
In the list above there are two strings I want to check for when this function receives a record.
The failedRecord.record string does contain what I want "value":"OUT" and it's also within the list above. So why is contains not working here? it keeps bouncing out to the else statement.
You can use any() in the list and pass a predicate:
{x -> searchString.contains(x)}
The searchString.contains() will search x as a substring inside searchString for each x representing the elements in the list
var list = listOf("\"is_enabled\": false", "\"value\":\"OUT\"")
println(list)
println(list::class.qualifiedName)
println() // empty newline
var searchString = "{\"email\":\"test#gmail.com\",\"source\":\"web\",\"value\":\"OUT\",\"create_date\":\"2022-09-29T03:42:09.976-05:00\",\"is_undeliverable\":false}";
println(searchString)
println(searchString::class.qualifiedName)
println() // empty newline
println(list.any{x -> searchString.contains(x)});
Output
["is_enabled": false, "value":"OUT"]
java.util.Arrays.ArrayList

Is there an easier approach to convert an Intellij IDEA environment variable into a list of Tuples?
My environment variable for Intellij is
GROCERY_LIST=[("egg", "dairy"),("chicken", "meat"),("apple", "fruit")]
The environment variable gets accessed into Kotlin file as String.
val g_list = System.getenv("GROCERY_LIST")
Ideally I'd like to iterate over g_list, first element being ("egg", "dairy") and so on.
And then ("egg", "dairy") is a tuple/pair
I have tried to split g_list by comma that's NOT inside quotes i.e
val splitted_list = g_list.split(",(?=(?:[^\\\"]*\\\"[^\\\"]*\\\")*[^\\\"]*\$)".toRegex()).toTypedArray()
this gives me first element as [("egg", second element as "dairy")] and so on.
Also created a data class and tried to map the string into data class using jacksonObjectMapper following this link:
val mapper = jacksonObjectMapper()
val g_list = System.getenv("GROCERY_LIST")
val myList: List<Shopping> = mapper.readValue(g_list)
data class Shopping(val a: String, val b: String)
You can create a regular expression to match all strings in your environmental variable.
Regex::findAll()
Then loop through the strings while creating a list of Shopping objects.
// Raw data set.
val groceryList: String = "[(\"egg\", \"dairy\"),(\"chicken\", \"meat\"),(\"apple\", \"fruit\")]"
// Build regular expression.
val regex = Regex("\"([\\s\\S]+?)\"")
val matchResult = regex.findAll(groceryList)
val iterator = matchResult.iterator()
// Create a List of `Shopping` objects.
var first: String = "";
var second: String = "";
val shoppingList = mutableListOf<Shopping>()
var i = 0;
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
val value = iterator.next().value;
if (i % 2 == 0) {
first = value;
} else {
second = value;
shoppingList.add(Shopping(first, second))
first = ""
second = ""
}
i++
}
// Print Shopping List.
for (s in shoppingList) {
println(s)
}
// Output.
/*
Shopping(a="egg", b="dairy")
Shopping(a="chicken", b="meat")
Shopping(a="apple", b="fruit")
*/
data class Shopping(val a: String, val b: String)
Never a good idea to use regex to match parenthesis.
I would suggest a step-by-step approach:
You could first match the name and the value by
(\w+)=(.*)
There you get the name in group 1 and the value in group 2 without caring about any subsequent = characters that might appear in the value.
If you then want to split the value, I would get rid of start and end parenthesis first by matching by
(?<=\[\().*(?=\)\])
(or simply cut off the first and last two characters of the string, if it is always given it starts with [( and ends in )])
Then get the single list entries from splitting by
\),\(
(take care that the split operation also takes a regex, so you have to escape it)
And for each list entry you could split that simply by
,\s*
or, if you want the quote character to be removed, use a match with
\"(.*)\",\s*\"(.*)\"
where group 1 contains the key (left of equals sign) and group 2 the value (right of equals sign)
example:
a variable
val str = readln().replace("[^A-Za-z0-9 ] \\s+".toRegex(),"").trim()
should read multiple lines of input value, input value will be like this
heading
----------
topic1
topic2
or like this
heading
-------
a) topic1
b) topic2
input may contain special characters or tabs or spaces we need to remove them also
I don't know what your Regex is trying to do, but that's not really your question.
How do you know when the user has finished their input - a special word or an empty line?
Assuming an empty line, here's how you can get all the content
println("Enter something:")
var lines = ""
do {
val line = readLine()
lines += "${clean(line)}\n"
} while (!line.isNullOrBlank())
println("User input:\n$lines")
private fun clean(line: String?): String? {
return line?.replace("[^A-Za-z0-9 ] \\s+".toRegex(),"")?.trim()
}
I am trying to replace a few sub strings inside a string. But my code doesn't seem to work.
val listOfMaleWords = listOf(" him", " he", " his")
val listOfFemaleWords = listOf(" her", " she", " her")
fun modifyIdeaForGender(rawIdea : String, desiredGender : String): String {
var theRawIdea = rawIdea
if (desiredGender == "FEMALE") {
println("desired gender is FEMALE")
listOfMaleWords.forEachIndexed { index, element ->
theRawIdea.replace(element, listOfFemaleWords[index])
}
} else {
println("desired gender is MALE")
listOfFemaleWords.forEachIndexed { index, element ->
theRawIdea.replace(element, listOfMaleWords[index])
}
}
return theRawIdea
}
fun main() {
var sampleString : String = "Tell him, he is special"
println(modifyIdeaForGender(sampleString, "FEMALE"))
}
Expected Output :
"Tell her, she is special"
Current Output :
"Tell him, he is special" // no change
Whats wrong with my code? The current output doesn't replace the string characters at all.
replace returns a new String that you are discarding immediately. It does not mutate theRawIdea itself, so you should assign it back to theRawIdea yourself. For example:
theRawIdea = theRawIdea.replace(element, listOfFemaleWords[index])
Though this would modify theRawIdea as you desire, it wouldn't replace the pronouns correctly. Once it replaces the "him"s with "her"s, it would try to replace the "he"s with "she"s. But note that "he" a substring of "her"! So this would produce:
Tell sher, she is special
This could be fixed by reordering the lists, putting the "he"-"she" pair first, or by using regex, adding \b word boundary anchors around the words:
// note that you should not have spaces before the words if you decide to use \b
val listOfMaleWords = listOf("him", "he", "his")
val listOfFemaleWords = listOf("her", "she", "her")
...
theRawIdea = theRawIdea.replace("\\b$element\\b".toRegex(), listOfFemaleWords[index])
Note that this doesn't account for capitalisation or the fact that changing from female gender pronouns to male ones is inherently broken. Your current code would change all her to him. It would require some more complicated natural language processing to accurately do this task in general.
Taking all that into account, I've rewritten your code with zip:
fun modifyMaleIdeaToFemaleGender(rawIdea : String): String {
var theRawIdea = rawIdea
// if you really want to do the broken female to male case, then this would be
// listOfFemaleWords zip listOfMaleWords
// and the loop below can stay the same
val zipped = listOfMaleWords zip listOfFemaleWords
zipped.forEach { (target, replacement) ->
theRawIdea = theRawIdea.replace("\\b$target\\b".toRegex(), replacement)
}
return theRawIdea
}
You can also use fold to avoid reassigning theRawIdea:
fun modifyIdeaToFemaleGender(rawIdea : String): String {
val zipped = listOfMaleWords zip listOfFemaleWords
return zipped.fold(rawIdea) { acc, (target, replacement) ->
acc.replace("\\b$target\\b".toRegex(), replacement)
}
}
Your code assumes that the replace() method performs an in-place mutation of the string. However, the string with the replaced values are returned by the replace(). So you need to change your code to contain something like:
theRawIdea = theRawIdea.replace(element, listOfFemaleWords[index])
To do this, you will have to use a conventional loop instead of listOfMaleWords.forEachIndexed style looping.
I have the following code snippet
val cachedNews = listOf(News(9, "https://009"), News(8, "https://234"), News(7, "https://345"))
val freshNews = listOf(News(1, "https://123"), News(2, "https://234"), News(3, "https://345"))
val result = freshNews.filter {fresh -> filter(cachedNews, fresh)}
private fun filter(cached: List<News>, fresh: News): Boolean {
cached.forEach { cachedItem ->
if (cachedItem.url == fresh.url) return true
}
return false }
When the code runs if cachedItem.url == fresh.url the list is filtered and the result is a list where the urls of the two lists are identical. However when i reverse equality like so cachedItem.url != fresh.url the list is not filtered at all. The sequence of execution changes.
When using the == sign, the first item of freshNews is compared with the first Item of cachedNews after that the secondItem of freshNews is compared with secondItem of cachedNews and so on.
When I use the != sign the all items of freshNews are compared against only the firstItem of cachedNews ??
Am I missing something or is my code just wrong?
I'm not sure what the specific problem is because your approach is quite confusing. Your custom filter function is actually more like a contains function.
What might be useful is to:
Extract the cached URLs to a set
Filter the new results by URLs that are not in the set.
fun main() {
val cachedNews = listOf(News(9, "https://009"), News(8, "https://234"), News(7, "https://345"))
val freshNews = listOf(News(1, "https://123"), News(2, "https://234"), News(3, "https://345"))
val cachedUrls = cachedNews.map { it.url }.toSet()
val result = freshNews.filterNot { cachedUrls.contains(it.url) }
println(result)
}
Result:
[News(id=1, url=https://123)]
i am new to Kotlin
I would like to iterate through my map and check if there is line break anywhere and if so return false, what would be the best approach. I am not sure if i can use mathches , but yeh basically if. lets say there is a string value "Hello" +c /n + "world": i would like to return false
fun isLineBreakExist(languageMap: MultiLanguageString){
languageMap.forEach { (value) -> value.matches("") }
}
}
