delimiter

I have an ASCII log file with some content I would like to extract. I've never taken time to learn Perl properly, but I figure this is a good tool for this task. The file is structured like this: ... ... some garbage ... ... garbage START what i want is on different lines END ... ... more garbage ... next one START more stuff I want, again spread through multiple lines END ... more garbage So, I'm looking for a way to extract the lines between each START and END delimiter strings. How can I do this? So far, I've only found some examples on how to print a line with the START string, or other

I have a formatted string from a log file, which looks like: >>> a="test result" That is, the test and the result are split by some spaces - it was probably created using formatted string which gave test some constant spacing. Simple splitting won't do the trick: >>> a.split(" ") ['test', '', '', '', ... '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', 'result'] split(DELIMITER, COUNT) cleared some unnecessary values: >>> a.split(" ",1) ['test', ' result'] This helped - but of course, I really need: ['test', 'result'] I can use split() followed by map + strip() , but I wondered if there is a more

I have following data: 1||1||Abdul-Jabbar||Karim||1996||1974 I want to delimit the tokens. Here the delimiter is "||" . My delimiter setter is: public void setDelimiter(String delimiter) { char[] c = delimiter.toCharArray(); this.delimiter = "\"" + "\\" + c[0] + "\\" + c[1] + "\""; System.out.println("Delimiter string is: " + this.delimiter); } However, String[] tokens = line.split(delimiter); is not giving the required result. There is no need to set the delimiter by breaking it up in pieces like you have done. Here is a complete program you can compile and run: import java.util.Arrays;

How do I use the useDelimiter() method of the Scanner class to use both the comma (,) and the new line character (\n) as delimiters? I am parsing some text from a csv file. Scanner s = new Scanner("hello, world \n hello world"); s.useDelimiter(",|\\n"); while(s.hasNext()){ System.out.println(s.next()); } Output hello world hello world JavaDoc How about useDelimiter(",|\\n"); useDelimiter takes a regex pattern, so, it would be something like ",|\n" Jigar is absolutely correct. But if it doesn't work, try ",|\\r" since most text files have \r\n instead of just \n Using Scan Delimiters for Excel

I'm trying to change the MySQL command delimiter so I can create a procedure with multiple commands in it. However, the delimiter command does not seem to be recognised on MySQL 5.1.47. I tested it on MySQL 5.0.91, and it did work there. DELIMITER //; DELIMITER ;// I'm trying to run this from phpmyadmin, in both situations. Using 5.0.91 instead isn't an option because I need to use events ( CREATE EVENT ). Error message: #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DELIMITER //' at line 1 Is there

I am having trouble with the delimiter in the TStringList Class. Take a look: var s: string; sl: TStringList; begin sl := TStringList.Create; s := 'Users^foo bar^bar foo^foobar^barfoo'; sl.Delimiter := '^'; sl.DelimitedText := s; ShowMessage(sl[1]); end; sl[1] SHOULD return 'foo bar' sl[1] DOES return 'foo' It seems that the delimiter is now '^' AND ' ' Any ideas? Roee Adler You should set s1.StrictDelimiter := True for spaces not to be considered delimiters, more info here . Since you work in a version that does not support the above (as was clarified after the answer was submitted), you have

I want to import two kinds of CSV files, some use ";" for delimiter and others use ",". So far I have been switching between the next two lines: reader=csv.reader(f,delimiter=';') or reader=csv.reader(f,delimiter=',') Is it possible not to specify the delimiter and to let the program check for the right delimiter? The solutions below (Blender and sharth) seem to work well for comma-separated files (generated with Libroffice) but not for semicolon-separated files (generated with MS Office). Here are the first lines of one semicolon-separated file: ReleveAnnee;ReleveMois;NoOrdre;TitreRMC
