regex limitations within live template / can use live-template functions as replacement? - intellij-idea

I'm removing builder pattern on multiple places. Following example would help me with the task, but mainly I'd like to learn how to use live templates more.
Preexisting code:
Something s = s.builder
.a(...)
.b(bbb)
.build();
and I'd like to remove it to:
Something s = new Something();
s.setA(...);
s.setB(bbb);
part of it can be trivially done using intellij regex, pattern: \.(.*)$ and replacement .set\u$1. Well it could be improved, but lets keep it simple.
I can create surround live template using variable:
regularExpression(SELECTION, "\\.(.*)", "\\u$1")
but \\u will be evaluated as u.
question 1: is it possible to get into here somehow \u functionality?
but I might get around is differently, so why not try to use live temlate variable:
regularExpression(SELECTION, "\\.(.)(.*)", concat(capitalize($1), "$2"))
but this does not seem to work either. .abc is replaced to bc
question 2: why? How would correct template look like? And probably, if it worked, this would behave incorrectly for multiline input. How to make it working and also for multiline inputs?
sorry for questions, I didn't find any harder examples of live templates than trivial replacements.

No, there is no \u functionality in the regularExpression() Live Template macro. It is just a way to call String.replaceAll(), which doesn't support \u.
You can create a Live Template like this:
set$VAR$
And set the following expression for the $VAR$ variable:
capitalize(regularExpression(SELECTION, "\\.(.*)", "$1"))

Karate pathMatches exclusion

I would like to have possibility in Karate to match all paths except /example/path, to have something like this:
pathMatches ('!/example/path')
Is there such possibility?
You can use the requestUri variable which will be always set automatically. The nice thing about the design is you can use "normal" Java Script and achieve any combination you want, pathMatches() is just pre-defined for convenience.
So this should get you what you want, try it !
Scenario: !requestUri.startsWith('/example/path')
EDIT: silly me, I just realized that you have a much better option, again "because JavaScript". This will work !
Scenario: !pathMatches('/example/path')

Drop use of = in parsing arguments in raku

The fact that you can write in raku the following
unit sub MAIN(Int $j = 2);
say $j
is amazing, and the fact that the argument parsing is done for you is beyond
useful. However I find personally extremely unergonomic
that for such arguments you habe to write a = to set the value, i.e.
./script.raku -j=5
I was wondering if there is a way to tell the parser that it should allow options without
the = so that I can write
./script.raku -j 5
I haven't seen this in the docs and this would really be much more intuitive for some people
like me. If it is not currently possible, I think it would be a useful add-on.
You could also use SuperMAIN, a library for CLI processing. This add some new superpowers to MAIN
There has been a lot of discussion of how command line parameters should be parsed. At the moment there are no plans of adding more functionality to what Raku provides out of the box.
If you want more tweakability, you should probably look at the Getopt::Long module by Leon Timmermans

Wesbstorm LiveTemplate trick

LiveTemplates in Webstorm and all IDEA family products one of those nice features that bring pure awesomeness to your coding. So for the snippet like this:
stylus = require "stylus"
I can set abbreviation (for example rqr) and set the template text like this:
require "$END$"
tell Webstrom that this is applicable for coffeescript and voila, I have to type only that:
stylus = rqr[TAB]
But, I thought: "can I go even further with this?" Can I somehow tell Webstorm to read the word that I typed right before the abbreviation (in this case it's stylus), and Webstorm would automagically put it between quotes and finish on the next line? Wouldn't be that cool?
So you would type: express = rqr[TAB] and it would finish that for you, expanding it into:
express = require "express"
Wow, wow, wow! I actually found a better way to do that...
if I keep the same abbreviation and change template text into:
$module$ = require "$module$"
$END$
it does want I wanted, but in the way cooler way!
So you can use your own variables in a template as long as you don't call them $END$ or $SELECTION$
Awesome!

Doing multiple gsub in a rails 3 app on email body template

I have an email template where the user can enter text like this:
Hello {first_name}, how are you?
and when the email actually gets sent it replaces the placeholder text {first_name} with the actual value.
There will be several of these placeholders, though, and I wasn't sure that gsub is meant to be used like this.
body = #email.body.gsub("{first_name}", #person.first_name)gsub("{last_name}", #person.last_name).gsub("",...).gsub("",...).gsub("",...).etc...
Is there a cleaner solution to achieving this functionality? Also, if anyone's done something similar to this, did they find that they eventually hit a point where using multiple gsubs on a few paragraphs for hundreds of emails was just too slow?
EDIT
I ran some tests comparing multiple gsubs vs using regex and it came out that the regex was usually 3x FASTER than using multiple gsubs. However, I think the regex code is a littler harder to read as-is, so I'm going to have to clean it up a bit but it does indeed seem that using regex is significantly faster than multiple gsubs. Since my use case will involve multiple substitutions for a large number of documents, the faster solution is better for me, even though I'll have to add a little more documentation.
You have to put in regular expressions all strings you want to catch and in the hash you put the replacement of all catches:
"123456789".gsub /(123|456)/, "123" => "ABC",
"456" => "DEF"
This code only works for ruby 1.9.
If you can use a template library like erb or haml, they are the proper tool for this kind of task.

TSearch2 - dots explosion

Following conversion
SELECT to_tsvector('english', 'Google.com');
returns this:
'google.com':1
Why does TSearch2 engine didn't return something like this?
'google':2, 'com':1
Or how can i make the engine to return the exploded string as i wrote above?
I just need "Google.com" to be foundable by "google".
Unfortunately, there is no quick and easy solution.
Denis is correct in that the parser is recognizing it as a hostname, which is why it doesn't break it up.
There are 3 other things you can do, off the top of my head.
You can disable the host parsing in the database. See postgres documentation for details. E.g. something like ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION your_parser_config
DROP MAPPING FOR url, url_path
You can write your own custom dictionary.
You can pre-parse your data before it's inserted into the database in some manner (maybe splitting all domains before going into the database).
I had a similar issue to you last year and opted for solution (2), above.
My solution was to write a custom dictionary that splits words up on non-word characters. A custom dictionary is a lot easier & quicker to write than a new parser. You still have to write C tho :)
The dictionary I wrote would return something like 'www.facebook.com':4, 'com':3, 'facebook':2, 'www':1' for the 'www.facebook.com' domain (we had a unique-ish scenario, hence the 4 results instead of 3).
The trouble with a custom dictionary is that you will no longer get stemming (ie: www.books.com will come out as www, books and com). I believe there is some work (which may have been completed) to allow chaining of dictionaries which would solve this problem.
First off in case you're not aware, tsearch2 is deprecated in favor of the built-in functionality:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9/static/textsearch.html
As for your actual question, google.com gets recognized as a host by the parser:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/textsearch-parsers.html
If you don't want this to occur, you'll need to pre-process your text accordingly (or use a custom parser).
