How to split lines in Haskell? - variables

I have made a program which takes a 1000 digit number as input.
It is fixed, so I put this input into the code file itself.
I would obviously be storing it as Integer type, but how do I do it?
I have tried the program by having 1000 digits in the same line. I know this is the worst possible code format! But it works.
How can assign the variable this number, and split its lines. I read somewhere something about eos? Ruby, end of what?
I was thinking that something similar to comments could be used here.
Help will be appreciated.
the basic idea is to make this work:
a=3847981438917489137897491412341234
983745893289572395725258923745897232
instead of something like this:
a=3847981438917489137897491412341234983745893289572395725258923745897232

Haskell doesn't have a way to split (non-String) literals across multiple lines. Since Strings are an exception, we can shoehorn in other literals by parsing a multiline String:
v = read
"32456\
\23857\
\23545" :: Integer
Alternately, you can use list syntax if you think it's prettier:
v = read . concat $
["32456"
,"24357"
,"23476"
] :: Integer
The price you pay for this is that some work will be done (once) at runtime, namely, the parsing (e.g. read).

Multi-line text in a .env file

In vue, is there a way to have a value span multiple lines in an .env file. Ex:
Instead of:
someValue=[{"someValue":"Here is a really really long piece which should be split into multiple lines"}]
I want to do something like:
someValue=`[{"someValue":"Here is a really
really long piece which
should be split into multiple lines"}]`
Doing the latter gives me a JSON parsing error if I try to do JSON.parse(someValue) in my code
I don't know if this will work, but I can't format a comment appropriately enough to get the point across so see if this will work:
someValue=[{"someValue":"Here is a really\
really long piece which\
should be split into multiple lines"}]
Where "\" should escape the newline similar to how you can write long bash commands while escaping the newline. I'm not certain the .env interpreter will support it though.
EDIT
Looks like this won't work. This syntax was actually proposed, but I don't think it was incorporated. See motdotla/dotenv#333 (which is what Vue uses to parse .env).
Like #zero298 said, this isn't possible. Likely you could delimit the entry with a character that wouldn't show up normally in the text (^ is a good candidate), then parse it within the application using string.replace('^', '\n');

Objective C parse string for middle chars

This is a bit of a puzzler for me. I have a string that looks like:
fanspd<fanspd>3</fanspd>
doorinprocess<doorinprocess>0</doorinprocess>
timeremaining<timeremaining>0</timeremaining>
macaddr<macaddr>60:CB:FB:99:99:C1</macaddr>
ipaddr<ipaddr>10.0.0.6</ipaddr>
model<model>4.4eWHF</model>
softver: <softver>2.14.2</softver>
interlock1: <interlock1>0</interlock1>
interlock2: <interlock2>0</interlock2>
cfm: <cfm>2200</cfm>
power: <power>120</power>
inside: <house_temp>-99</house_temp>
<DNS1>10.0.0.1</DNS1>
attic: <attic_temp>76</attic_temp>
OA: <oa_temp>-99</oa_temp>
server response: <server_response>Ó£àêEE²ç©þ]kõ «jsÐ</server_response>
DIP Switches: <DIPS>11100</DIPS>
Remote Switch: <switch2>1111</switch2>
Setpoint:<Setpoint>0</Setpoint>
The string includes the "/n" so I have split it into corrisponding lines that look like
fanspd<fanspd>0</fanspd>
All I really want is the char(s) in the middle of the line. In the above example it would be 0.
I can match everything with regular expressions but by doing the following:
(.*)(<[a-z]+>)(.*)(</[a-z]+>)
But what I'd like is something more that would exclude or strip away or remove all the junk and grab the middle chars.
(!(.*)(!<[a-z]+>))(.*)(!(</[a-z]+>))
I've tried this and it does not work. I've also thought of doing another [NSstring componentsSeparatedByString:#"(with either < or or >"] but that would leave be with more parsing yet to do and I think there should be a way to get just the chars inbetween the tags with either regular expressions or string compare or some such way to parse out the
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Two things.
Your regular expression does not escape the forward slash.
Your regular expression seems overly complicated for what you are trying to do.
If all you want is that lone middle character with regular expressions,
Try this:
<[a-z]+>(.*)<\/[a-z]+>
Here's a great tool to play around with:
http://rubular.com
Heck you could probably even get away with:
<[a-z]+>(.*)<\/
EDIT:
I figured out your problem partially, some of the tags part way down contain characters other than a through z. So here you go:
<.+>(.*)<\/.+>

Does mIRC Scripting have an escape character?

I'm trying to write a simple multi-line Alias that says several predefined strings of characters in mIRC. The problem is that the strings can contain:
{
}
|
which are all used in the scripting language to group sections of code/commands. So I was wondering if there was an escape character I could use.
In lack of that, is there a method, or alternative way to be able to "say" multiple lines of these strings, so that this:
alias test1 {
/msg # samplestring}contains_chars|
/msg # _that|break_continuity}{
}
Outputs this on typing /test1 on a channel:
<MyName> samplestring}contains_chars|
<MyName> _that|break_continuity}{
It doesn't have to use the /msg command specifically, either, as long as the output is the same.
So basically:
Is there an escape character of sorts I can use to differentiate code from a string in mIRC scripting?
Is there a way to tell a script to evaluate all characters in a string as a literal? Think " " quotes in languages like Java.
Is the above even possible using only mIRC scripting?
"In lack of that, is there a method, or alternative way to be able to "say" multiple lines of these strings, so that this:..."
I think you have to have to use msg # every time when you want to message a channel. Alterativelty you can use the /say command to message the active window.
Regarding the other 3 questions:
Yes, for example you can use $chr(123) instead of a {, $chr(125) instead of a } and $chr(124) instead of a | (pipe). For a full list of numbers you can go to http://www.atwebresults.com/ascii-codes.php?type=2. The code for a dot is 46 so $chr(46) will represent a dot.
I don't think there is any 'simple' way to do this. To print identifiers as plain text you have to add a ! after the $. For example '$!time' will return the plain text '$time' as $time will return the actual value of $time.
Yes.

FORTRAN 90 - Input Syntax Error

This should be an easy one.. I can't figure out why my read statement has a syntax error. I have a file 7477 lines long and I want each of those variables to correspond in each line like my format specifies. Any help here would be great. Thanks!
implicit none
integer :: spe, flen = 7477, i
real, dimension (7477):: wnum,s,A,abh
character :: other
integer :: lun = 11
write(*,*) 'Opening File!'
open(lun,file ='h2o_allbands',status = 'old',action ='read')
write(*,*) 'Success!'
17 format (1x,i2,3x,F9.6,1x,E9.3,1x,E9.3,F5.5,A120)
do i = 1, 7477
read(lun,17) spe(i),wnum(i),s(i),A(i),abh(i),other
write(*,*) wnum(i)
end do
The read has spe(i) as an input list item. spe is not declared as an array, so the compiler probably thinks spe(i) is a reference to an integer function. You cannot read "into" the result of a plain integer function.
Perhaps spe should be declared as an array?
Without seeing a line from your input file, it is difficult to say what the exact problem is: However:
First of all, you should not use a format statement when reading entities (unless in special cases), as this can lead to all sort of different errors, if your line is not well formatted for whatever reasons. So just replace the read line with:
read(lun,*) spe(i), wnum(i), s(i), A(i), abh(i), other
If all the lines are read in well apart the last one, then make sure, that you have a newline at the end of the last line.

Code for converting long string to pass in URL

I am trying to take a string like "Hello my name is Nick" and transform it to "Hello+my+name+is+Nick" to be passed through a URL. This would be easily done by replacing all the spaces with a + char however I also need to replace all special characters (. , ! &) with their ASCII values. I have searched the net but cannot find anything. I wonder if anyone knows of existing code to do this as its a fairly common task?
I think you're looking for this: HttpUtility.UrlEncode Method (String)
Handles non-URL compliant characters and spaces.
