i want to know if theres a way for IBM Watson assistant to store free text or direct input from the user as a variable. I know you can do it with number with the code below here:
"context" : {
"number_extract" : "<? input.text.extract('[\\d]+',0) ?>"
}
But this only works with numbers. what do you do when you want to store a free text for e.g. a name as a variable?The same code doesn't work for any other text but number so i assume there must be a code which works for text or free text. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.
The input can be simply accessed using input.text. See this part of the documentation.
In your sample, an additional extract function is applied to the input string. The parameter to the extract function is a regex string (regular expression search string). In your sample, it searches for the first number. You can also search for other components, our transform the string. See the docs for other functions you can apply.
I have also collected samples for working with context variables in this GitHub repository.

I'm using this library for translating:
https://github.com/dejurin/php-google-translate-for-free
It's possible to translate more than 5000 characters with this library?
Or save the translated text to a txt and change from text translate to docs translate?
I mean this:
https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=docs&sl=en&tl=lb
Based on what Google says, it is not possible to send more than 5,000 characters per request. Moreover, Google recommends that you send less than 5,000.
You can find it here under technical questions : Google Translate FAQ
Regarding the second question, ii is possible.
According to the website of the library the result of the translation is returned in the form of an array, so first of all you must do is convert the array into a string, separating each element of the array by what you decide (here I separate it by a blank space):
$arrayToString = implode(' ', $result);
Here $result is the array returned by the library. Now we just have to save the string in a txt file.
$file = 'path/to/file/filename.txt';
file_put_contents($file, $arrayToString);

I will provide some context before I ask my question.
I am attempting to query an SQL Server and create a table within Excel from the data. Because I am not familiar with how to accomplish this in VBA I recorded by using Data -> Get External Data -> From Other Sources -> Microsoft Query. In the dialog box that appears, I chose a .DSN file provided to me by someone else. I then used the Microsoft Query interface to structure the query and import the data onto a worksheet.
The code in the recorded macro looked something like this. I will use generic terms instead of the actual code.
With Sheet2.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:= 0, Source:=Array _
(Array("ODBC;DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=ServerName;UID=userid;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Microsoft Windows Operating System;WSID=SomeString"), _
Array("A;DATABASE=DatabaseName")), Destination:=Range ("Sheet2!$A$1")).QueryTable
I know this is not formatted ideally, which is part of my question below.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb211863(v=office.12).aspx
From the above article, I know that SourceType:= 0 is an xlSrcExternal, or an external data source. This makes sense to me.
My confusion begins to arise when I get to the Source component of the Add method. From the provided article, "When SourceType = xlSrcExternal, an array of String values specifying a connection to the source, containing the following elements:
•0 - URL to SharePoint site
•1 - ListName
•2 - ViewGUID
So to begin with, what exactly is meant by "an array of String values", as the code from the recorded macro does not appear to correspond to what I thought was an array. I know that normally an array is declared something like this Array("string1", "string2", etc.). Or is the array recorded simply an array of one value? In other words Array("string1"). Does anyone know the purpose of passing an "array of string values" as opposed to just passing a string?
Also does anyone know the nuances of why the recorded macro has this particular formatting/syntax? In other words, why does it appear to have this syntax Array(Array("string1"),_ (new line) Array("string2"))? Why not just Array ("string1")? Does it have something to do with the second line being too long?
I have several more questions related to this topic, but this seemed like a good place to start..
Thank you all for any help given.
I am working on an application to search for and build a list of all the times a string (or variable of) is in a text file. Kind of like a Find All function in a text editor that I can build a list with the info that is found, such as
S350
S250
S270
S5000
What can I use to do this search? It will have one value that does not change (The S in this case) followed by up to 4 digits
RegEx seems like a good choice.
Something like.. S(\d{1,4})? might work for you.
Expresso is my preferred regular expression composer.
I have created a simple LabView program shown below that attempts to flatten an array [1,0,3] and then unflatten it and print out the contents.
However, I am unsuccessful in doing so. What am I doing wrong?
What am I doing wrong?
You're not going through tutorials or you're not reading the context help for the unflatten function (Ctrl+H) or you're not reading the full help for the function (right click>>Help) or you're not looking at the examples (from the help or Help>>Find Examples). Take your pick (preferably all four).
If you want an actual answer it is that LV is strictly typed, and therefore you need to tell the unflatten function which data type you want it to output (1D DBL array) and you're not doing that, but the real answer is what's in the previous paragraph - you should use those tools to learn how to find such an answer yourself.
The string returned by Flatten to String only contains the data, not the description of what data type was passed in, so in order to unflatten it again you need to tell Unflatten from String what type it was. You do this by wiring some data of the appropriate type (any data - if it's an array it can be an empty one) to the Type terminal.
I don't think this is immediately obvious from the LabVIEW 2012 help but I think it's fairly clear if you follow the link from the Unflatten from String help page to one of the examples. The Read Flattened Data.vi example has an array wired to the Type input.
According to MSDN vb.net uses this extended character set. In my experience it actually uses this:
What am I missing? Why does it say it uses the one and uses the other?
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there some sort of conversion tool to the original character set?
This behaviour is defined in the documentation of the Chr command:
The returned value depends on the code page for the current thread, which is contained in the ANSICodePage property of the TextInfo class in the System.Globalization namespace. You can obtain ANSICodePage by specifying System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.ANSICodePage.
So, the output of Chr for values greater than 127 is system-dependent. If you want reproducible results, create the desired instance of Encoding by calling Encoding.GetEncoding(String), then use Encoding.GetChars(Byte()) to convert your numeric values into characters.
If you go up one level in the chart linked in your question, you will see that they do not claim that this chart is always the output of the Chr command:
The characters that appear in Windows above 127 depend on the selected typeface.
The charts in this section show the default character set for a console application.
Your application is a WinForm application, not a console application. Even in the console, the character set used can be changed (for example, by using the chcp command), hence the word "default".
For detailed information about the encodings used in .net, I recommend the following MSDN article: Character Encoding in the .NET Framework.
The first character set is Code Page 437 (CP437), the second looks like Code Page 1252 (CP1252) also known as Windows Latin-1.
I'd guess VB.Net is simply picking up the default encoding for the PC.
How did you write all this? Because usually, when you use a output stream function, you can specify the encoding going with it.
Edit: I know this is not C#, but you can see the idea...
You'd have to set the encoding of your filestream, by doing something like this:
