I have multiple Steam accounts that I want to launch via a single Lua script with the options I specify. I've got pretty much everything sorted, except for launching with the code provided. I have no idea how to "pass" the variable with this format.
function Steam(n, opt1, opt2, opt3)
os.execute[["start C:\Program" "Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe /box:Steam2 D:\Steam\steam.exe -login username password -opt1 -opt2 -opt3"]]
end
I have my usernames and Sandboxes setup so that only the number needs changing (fenriros2, fenriros3, Steam2, Steam3 etc) with the same password.
Basically, I want this;
Steam(3, -tf, -exit, -textmode)
to do;
os.execute[["start C:\Program" "Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe /box:Steam3 D:\Steam\steam.exe -login fenriros3 password -applaunch 440 -textmode"]]
I'll use -exit to close the lua window after it's done.
I realize my code isn't exactly efficient, but that's a worry for a later time. Right now I just need to get it working.
Any help is greatly appreciated, and I apologize if I missed something obvious, I'm still fairly new at Lua.
First obvious one. The [[ ]] delimit a string so all you need to do is to create a variable for the string and replace the contents as needed.
function Steam(n, opt1, opt2, opt3)
-- Set up execute string with placeholders for the parameters.
local strExecute = [["start C:\Program" "Files\Sandboxie\Start.exe /box:Steam{n} D:\Steam\steam.exe -login fenriros{n} password -{opt1} -{opt2} -{opt3}"]]
-- Use gsub to replace the parameters
-- You could just concat the string but I find it easier to work this way.
strExecute = strExecute:gsub('{n}',n)
strExecute = strExecute:gsub('{opt1}',opt1:gsub('%%','%%%%'))
strExecute = strExecute:gsub('{opt2}',opt2:gsub('%%','%%%%'))
strExecute = strExecute:gsub('{opt3}',opt3:gsub('%%','%%%%'))
os.execute(strExecute)
end
Steam(1,'r1','r2','r3')

I need to have a script which can copy the value from InternetAddress Field in the person document one by one in names.nsf and append it in the User Name field. Can someone help with a working script?
This can literally be done with a one-line formula, using a simple assignment statement and the list append operator. It is really the most basic thing you can do in all of Lotus Notes programming. It doesn't even need to use any of the #functions.
The syntax for an assignment is:
FIELD fieldThatYouWantToSet := value;
The syntax for the list append operator is:
value1 : value2;
The only other thing you need to know is that value1 and value2 can simply be the names of existing items (a.k.a. fields), and the list of values in the second item will be appended to the list of values in the first item.
Then, all you will need to do is to put this one-liner into a formula agent that runs against all documents in the current view, and run the agent from the Actions menu while you are in the view.
Option-1:
There are a few ways to accomplish this, the simplest being , as the user specified before, a simple field function would do.
FIELD UserName := UserNAme:InternetAddress;
You could set and run the above field function in an agent in $UsersView
In option-2, you could also use the "UnProcessedDoc" feature and set and run as an agent.
But, here, I have written one another way to set and run as an agent in $UsersView.
Hope this helps, please approve this answer if this had helped anyone.
Option:2
At present , no Domino in my System, in order to test this snippet. I wish there exists any method online to test this snippet before I post.
But, logically, consider this snippet as a pseudo-code to accomplish ur objective.
Above all, it has been more than a decade or two ever since I have programmed in Domino. Because, I moved on to RDMS, DW, BI and now to Cloud... well Cloud-9. :)
Here is a portion of lotus script code to copy the value from InternetAddress Field in the person document one by one in names.nsf and append it in the UserName field.
Dim db As New NotesDatabase( "Names Db", "names.nsf" )
Dim view As NotesView
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim InternetAddress_value As Variant
Set view = db.GetView( "$Users" )
// loop thru all docs in $Users view.
// Get InternetAddress_value and rep it in UserName
Set doc = view.GetFirstDocument
If doc.HasItem("InternetAddress") Then
While Not(doc Is Nothing)
// in this line we concatenate username with IAaddress_value
new_value= doc.GetItemValue( "username" ) + doc.GetItemValue( "InternetAddress" )
Call doc.ReplaceItemValue( "UserName", new_value)
Call doc.Save( False, True )
Set doc = view.GetNextDocument(doc)
Wend
End If

I'm using npgsql as a nuget package in visual studio 2017 with visual basic.
Various commands do work very well but an ExecuteScalar allways returns 'nothing' although it should give a result.
The command looks like this:
Dim ser As Integer
Dim find = New NpgsqlCommand("SELECT serial from dbo.foreigncode WHERE code = '#code';", conn)
Dim fcode = New NpgsqlParameter("code", NpgsqlTypes.NpgsqlDbType.Varchar)
find.Parameters.Add(fcode)
find.Prepare()
fcode.Value = "XYZ"
ser = find.ExecuteScalar() ==> nothing
When the command string is copied as a value during debugging and pasted into the query tool of PGADMIN it delivers the correct result. The row is definitely there.
Different Commands executed with ExecuteNonQuery() work well, including ones performing UPDATE statements on the row in question.
When I look into the properties of the parameter fcode immediately before the ExecuteScalar it shows 'fcode.DataTypeName' caused an exception 'System.NotImplementedException'.
If I change my prepared statement to "SELECT #code" and set the value of the parameter to an arbitrary value just this value is returned. There is no access to the table taking place because the table name is not part of the SELECT in this case. If I remove the WHERE CLAUSE in the SELECT and just select one column, I would also expect that something has to be returned. But again it is nothing.
Yes there is a column named serial. It is of type bigint and can not contain NULL.
A Query shows that there is no single row that contains NULL in any column.
Latest findings:
I queried a different table where the search column and the result column happen to have the same datatype. It works, so syntax, passing of parameter, prepare etc. seems to work in principal.
The System.NotImplementedException in the DataTypeName property of the parameter occurs as well but it works anyway.
I rebuilt the index of the table in question. No change.
Still: when I copy/paste the CommandText and execute it in PGAdmin it shows the correct result.
Modifying the Command and using plain text there without parameter and without prepare still does yield nothing. The plain text CommandText was copy/pasted from PGAdmin where it was successfully executed before.
Very strange.
Reverting search column and result column also gives nothing as a result.
Please try these two alternatives and post back your results:
' Alternative 1: fetch the entire row, see what's returned
Dim dr = find.ExecuteReader()
While (dr.Read())
Console.Write("{0}\t{1} \n", dr[0], dr[1])
End While
' Alternative 2: Check if "ExecuteScalar()" returns something other than an int
Dim result = find.ExecuteScalar()
... and (I just noticed Honeyboy Wilson's response!) ...
Fix your syntax:
' Try this first: remove the single quotes around "#code"!
Dim find = New NpgsqlCommand("SELECT serial from dbo.foreigncode WHERE code = #code;", conn)
Update 1
Please try this:
Dim find = New NpgsqlCommand("SELECT * from dbo.foreigncode;", conn)
Q: Does this return anything?
Dim dr = find.ExecuteReader()
While (dr.Read())
Console.Write("{0}\t{1} \n", dr[0], dr[1])
End While
Q: Does this?
Dim result = find.ExecuteScalar()
Q: Do you happen to have a column named "serial"? What is it's data type? Is it non-null for the row(s) with 'XYZ'?
Please update your original post with this information.
Update 2
You seem to be doing ":everything right":
You've confirmed that you can connect,
You've confirmed that non-query updates to the same table work (with npgsql),
You've confirmed that the SQL queries themselves are valid (by copying/pasting the same SQL into PGAdmin and getting valid results).
As Shay Rojansky said, "System.NotImplementedException in the DataTypeName property" is a known issue stepping through the debugger. It has nothing to do with your problem: https://github.com/npgsql/npgsql/issues/2520
SUGGESTIONS (I'm grasping at straws)::
Double-check "permissions" on your database and your table.
Consider installing a different version of npgsql.
Be sure your code is detecting any/all error returns and exceptions (it sounds like you're probably already doing this, but it never hurts to ask)
... and ...
Enable verbose logging, both client- and server-side:
https://www.npgsql.org/doc/logging.html
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/runtime-config-logging.html
... Finally ...
Q: Can you make ANY query, from ANY table, using ANY query method (ExecuteReader(), ExecuteScalar(), ... ANYTHING) from your npgsql/.Net client AT ALL?
I finally found it. It's often the small things that can have a big impact.
When the value was assigned to the parameter a substring index was incorect.
Now it works perfectly.
Thanks to everybody who spent his time on this.
I'm making a bot in PHP and I want a better way to parse user input into arguments for later operations.
An example would be a user saying "/addresponse -"test" -"works""
I want this to parse that string into:
$command ["test", "works"];
I have found the PHP command parser but I want the user to be able to use human readable commands rather than typing something like /addresponse?p="test"&r="works"
Right now I have a regex working so the user can type "/addresponse "test" "works"" but there are obvious problems because the user cannot make a response for '"test"' only 'test'
I'd appreciate any help, right now I think I can make a regex to get all text between ' -' but I still don't think this is the best solution.
I just looked into using a regex to find text between ' -"' and while this is better than just between quotes, it doesn't solve the whole problem because it still will break if the input contains ' -"'. A string containing this isn't particularly common but I'd like a solution where almost any input will not break it.
Is this a stupid question? I don't think there is a built in php function for this and it got downvoted with no comment...
I found a partial solution:
function parse_cmd($command) {
$command = explode(' -"', $command);
array_splice($command, 0, 1);
foreach($command as &$element) {
$element = substr($element, 0, strlen($element) -1);
}
return $command;
}
This will split everything after ' -"' and return it as an array
I was wondering how I would go about checking to see if a table contains a value in a certain column.
I need to check if the column 'e-mail' contains an e-mail someone is trying to register with, and if something exists, do nothing, however, if nothing exists, insert the data into the database.
All I need to do is check if the e-mail column contains the value the user is registering with.
I'm using the RedBeanPHP ORM, I can do this without using it but I need to use that for program guidelines.
I've tried finding them but if they don't exist it returns an error within the redbean PHP file. Here's the error:Fatal error: Call to a member function find() on a non-object in /home/aeterna/www/user/rb.php on line 2433
Here's the code that I'm using when trying this:
function searchDatabase($email) {
return R::findOne('users', 'email LIKE "' . $email . '"');
}
My approach on the function would be
function searchDatabase($email) {
$data = array('email' => $email);
$user = R::findOne('users', 'email LIKE :email, $data);
if (!empty($user)) {
// do stuff here
} // end if
} // end function
It's a bit more clean and in your function
Seems like you are not connected to a database.
Have you done R::setup() before R::find()?
RedBeanPHP raises this error if it can't find the R::$redbean instance, the facade static functions just route calls to the $redbean object (to hide all object oriented fuzzyness for people who dont like that sort of thing).
However you need to bootstrap the facade using R::setup(). Normally you can start using RB with just two lines:
require('rb.php'); //cant make this any simpler :(
R::setup(); //this could be done in rb.php but people would not like that ;)
//and then go...
R::find( ... );
I recommend to check whether the $redbean object is available or whether for some reason the code flow has skipped the R::setup() boostrap method.
Edited to account for your updated question:
According to the error message, the error is happening inside the function find() in rb.php on line 2433. I'm guessing that rb.php is the RedBean package.
Make sure you've included rb.php in your script and set up your database, according to the instructions in the RedBean Manual.
As a starting point, look at what it's trying to do on line 2433 in rb.php. It appears to be calling a method on an invalid object. Figure out where that object is being created and why it's invalid. Maybe the find function was supplied with bad parameters.
Feel free to update your question by pasting the entirety of the find() function in rb.php and please indicate which line is 2433. If the function is too lengthy, you can paste it on a site like pastebin.com and link to it from here.
Your error sounds like you haven't done R::setup() yet.
My approach to performing the check you want would be something like this:
$count = count(R::find('users', 'email LIKE :email', array(':email' => $email)));
if($count === 0)
{
$user = R::dispense('users');
$user->name = $name;
$user->email = $email;
$user->dob = $dob;
R::store($user);
}
I don't know if it is this basic or not, but with SQL (using PHP for variables), a query could look like
$lookup = 'customerID';
$result = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT columnName IN tableName WHERE id='".$lookup."' LIMIT 1"));
$exists = is_null($result['columnName'])?false:true;
If you're just trying to find a single value in a database, you should always limit your result to 1, that way, if it is found in the first record, your query will stop.
Hope this helps
I have a large Openldap directory. In the directory the display name property for every is filled but i need to modify these entry and make it like "givenName + + sn". Is there are way i can do it directly in the directory just like sql queries (update query). I have read about the ldapmodify but could not find the way to use it like this.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated.
There is no way to do this with a single LDAP API call. You'll always have to use one LDAP search operation to get givenname and sn attributes, and one LDAP modify operation to modify the displayName attribute.
If you use the command line ldaptools "ldapsearch" and "ldapmodify", you can do this easily with some shell scripting, but you'll have to be careful: sometimes ldapsearch(1) can return LDIF data in base64 format, with UTF-8 strings that contain characters beyond ascii. For instance: 'sn:: Base64data' (note the double ':')
So, if I were you I would use a simple script in my language of choice, that has an LDAP API, instead of using shell commands. This would save me the troubles of base64 decoding that the ldaptools sometimes impose.
For instance, with php-cli, your script would be roughly like this (perhaps some more error checking would be appropriate):
<?php
$ldap = ldap_connect('host');
ldap_bind($ldap, ...);
$sr = ldap_search($ldap, 'ou=people,...', 'objectclass=*');
$entries= ldap_get_entries($ldap, $sr);
for($i=0; $i<$entries['count']; $i++) {
$modify = array('displayname' => $entries[$i]['givenname'] . ' ' . $entries[$i]['sn']);
ldap_modify($ldap, $entries[$i]['dn'], $modify);
}
Addendum: if you want to keep this data up to date without any intervention, you will probably need to use a specialized OpenLDAP module that keeps "virtual" attributes, or even a virtual directory, such as Penrose or Oracle Virtual Directory, on top of OpenLDAP. However this might be overkill for a simple concatenation of attributes.
