Regex Pattern for Parsing CSV files with Embedded commas, double quotes and line breaks - Worship Tech/Web Tools Blog - Kim Gentes - worship leader and writer.

While you have stumbled on KimGentes.com, you might be coming for a few different reasons.

Some of you are interested in articles and resources on Christianity, music, worship and such. Others of you are interested in technology information related to church worship settings. Some other folks are programmers who are looking for helpful information on technical challenges. This particular post is a bleed over from some of my technical work in programming. Specifically, this is a post to present a solution to parsing CSV files. Programmers understand that CSV files are simply text data files that have information stored in value fields in the file. To overcome this problem, it's assumed that some Neanderthal software developers (back in the Jurassic era of programming) came up with an idea to allow programs to insert and read commas inside of comma separated fields. Regex maybe the most popular language in the programming world. BiterScripting. Using cURL to Read the Contents of a Web Page.

Recently I wrote about how to use the Yahoo!

Weather api with WordPress and in the comments I was asked how to use it without relying on WordPress. The answer – is cURL. According to Wikipedia the name cURL comes from “Client for URLs” and it is essentially a command line interface for a web client. This means that you can access web content through a script on your site. This is most often used by websites when they access web apis such as Twitter, Flickr, or as in this case, the Yahoo!

Note: There’s actually loads of different commands and settings for cURL but we are only interested in a few. Below is the code we will be using: $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $file); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); $result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); Silly batch file tricks, redirecting stdout into an evironment variable and %~dp0 - Loren Halvorson's Blog. Some things in batch files seem like they should be so simple, but I'm embarrassed to say how long it took to come up with this little trick. Maybe YOU knew it already, but you should have posted it in your blog so I could have googled it and been done in the 10 seconds it SHOULD have taken me to solve it :-) In case you ever have wanted to take the console output of a command line tool and capture it in an environment variable, this works.

There may be better ways. Thanks to Scott Colestock for helping dig this one up. setlocalsometool.exe > temp.txtset /p TOOLOUTPUT= < temp.txtdel temp.txt..do something with %TOOLOUTPUT%...endlocal. Learn how to write a Regular Expression: Learn how to write a Regular Expression: --------------------------------------------------------------- What Regular Expression? A regular expression is a pattern that can match various text strings, used for validations. Where and when to use Regular Expression? It can be used in the programming languages which supports or has regular expression class as in built or it supports third party regular expression libraries. Regular expressions can be used to valid different type of data without increase the code with if and case conditions. Benefits of Regular Expression: The following are benefits (not all included) of use of Regular Expression. a) # line of code can be reduced. b) Speed Coding. c) Easy maintenance (you don’t need to change if validation criteria changes, just check the regular expression string). d) Easy to understand (you don’t need to understand the programmer logic on large if statements and case statements).

Scraping, scripting, hacking – various bits // blog. July 7, 2009 I just finished my talk at Mashed Library 2009 – an event for librarians wanting to mash and mix their data.
