I’m trying to write code. I’m very new to Python, and i’m using an interpreter on Visual Studio Code. I’m trying to write multiple lines of code, but the \ isn’t working, or i’m doing it wrong. Example:
print(‘hi’) \
print(‘hello’) \
I would expect it to work, but it comes up as syntax error the next time I press enter. Is that because I’m doing it wrong? Otherwise, how would I enter many lines of code. Keep in mind i’m using an interpreter.
Separate your statements using a semicolon(;), if you want multiple "simple statements" on one line. If you want to know more about simple statements, check out the documentation:
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#simple-statements
The backslash(\) is used in the case of logical lines i.e expressions. For example:
5 + 3 \
* 4 - 6
This would work fine because it is an 'expression' and returns a value. The same doesn't work for 'statements'.
This link, I hope, will clear your doubts on the matter:

I want to create a mathematical calculator in objective-C. I need it to run
through a command line. The user will enter an equation like 4 + 2 * 12 etc. The output should calculate the 2 and 12 first because they are times by. How would I create a command line program that creates output based on mathematical order or precedence. for example solving whats in the brackets first then anything that is multiplied and or divided by etc etc.
there are multiple programs available online for this here is just one http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Command-Prompt-Calculator, in the CMD line you can specify precedence by simply using parenthesis like the following C:> set /a ((2*12)+4) obviously replacing hard coded values with that passed to a variable.
This is probably a simple problem but unfortunately I wasn't able to get the results I wanted.
I have the following input line
A[C1234/3/4]b[123/0]C[123/0]d[123/0]E[123/0]d[http://google.com]AD[M/1/2]g[ab]
I want to retrieve the numbers using regex_extract in Hive
1/2
which is followed by "AD[M/ " in each case.
I am currently using
'\(AD([^)]+)\)' which gives output AD[M/1/2]g[ab]
Implementing any other like (//d*) is give a code 2 error. Please suggest the possible replacements
Try this regex
.*AD\[M\/(.*)\].*
by the way () should be the capturing bracket pair, not \(\)
I'm fairly new with apache pig and trying to work with some fixed width text. In pig, I'm reading every line in as a chararray (I know I can use fixedwidthloader, but am not in this instance). One of the fields I'm working with is an email field and one entry has a carriage return that generates extra lines of output in the finished data dump (I show 12 rows instead of the 9 I'm expecting). I know which entry has the error but I'm unable to filter it out using pig.
Thus far I've tried to use pig's REPLACE to replace on \r or \uFFFD and even tried a python UDF which works on the command line but not when I run it as a UDF through PIG. Anyone have any suggestions? Please let me know if more details are required.
My original edit with a solution turned out to only work part of the time. This time I had to clean the data before I ran it through pig. On the raw data file I did a perl -i -pe 's/\r//g' filename to remove the rogue carriage return.
I've made some good progress with my first attempt at a program, but have hit another road block. I'm taking standard output (as a string) froma console CMD window (results of dsquery piped to dsget) and have found small rectangles in the output. I tried using Regex to clean the little bastards but it seems they are related to the _ (underscore), which I need to keep (to return 2000/NT logins). Odd thing is - when I copy the caharcter and paste it into VS2K10 Express it acts like a carrige return??
Any ideas on finding out what these little SOB's are -- and how to remove them?
Going to try using /U or /A CMD switch next..
The square is often just used whenever a character is not displayable. The character could very well be a CR. You can use a Regular Expression to just get normal characters or remove the CR LF characters using string.replace.
You mentioned that you are using the string.replace function, and I am wondering if you are replacing the wrong character or something like that. If all your trying to do is remove a carriage return I would skip the regular expressions and stick with the string.replace.
Something like this should work...
strInputString = strInputString.replace(chr(13), "")
If not could you post a line or two of code.
On a side note, this might give some other examples....

script(1) is a tool for keeping a record of an interactive terminal session; by default it writes to the file transcript. My problem is that I use ksh93, which has readline features, and so the transcript is mucked up with all sorts of terminal escape sequences and it can be very difficult to reconstruct the command that was actually executed. Not to mention the stray ^M's and the like.
I'm looking for a tool that will read a transcript file written by script, remove all the junk, and reconstruct what the shell thought it was executing, so I have something that shows $PS1 and the commands actually executed. Failing that, I'm looking for suggestions on how to write such a tool, ideally using knowledge from the terminfo database, or failing that, just using ANSI escape sequences.
A cheat that looks in shell history, as long as it really really works, would also be acceptable.
Doesn't cat/more work by default for browsing the transcript? Do you intend to create a script out of the commands actually executed (which in my experience can be dangerous)?
Anyway, 3 years without an answer, so I will give it a shot with an incomplete solution. If your are only interested in the commands actually typed, remove the non-printable characters, then replace PS1' with something readable and unique, and grep for that unique string. Like this:
$ sed -i 's/[^[:print:]]//g' transcript
$ sed 's/]0;cartman#southpark: ~cartman#southpark:~/CARTMAN/g' transcript | grep CARTMAN
Explanation: After first sed, PS1' can be taken from one of the first few lines of the transcript file, as is -- PS1' is different from PS1 -- and can be modified with a unique readable string ("CARTMAN" here). Note that the dollar sign at the end of the prompt was left out intentionally.
In the few examples that I tried, this didn't solve everything but took care of most issues.
This is essentially the same question asked recently in Can I programmatically “burn in” ANSI control codes to a file using unix utils? -- removing all nonprinting characters will not fix
