I have list that have values like"
[0] = "{ id = ES10209005, views = 501 }"
[1] = "{ id = HYT0209005, views = 5678}"
[3] = "{ id = POI0209005, views = 4568}"
I would like to pass the values(id,views) to a method using a for each loop.
method(id,views)
Something like:
foreach (string v in updatereponse)
{
method()
}
How do I isolate each value(id,views) from each row in the list then pass it to the method?
The list contains just a bunch of strings, anything based on this to fix the problem would be just a workaround (e.g. string parsing). You should really switch to a strongly typed model, e.g. define a class ViewCount:
public class ViewCount
{
public string Id {get;set;}
public int Views {get;set;}
}
You can then use a List<ViewCount> populate the list:
List<ViewCount> viewcounts = new List<ViewCount>();
viewCounts.Add(new ViewCount() { Id = "ES10209005", Views = 501 });
Since each ViewCount instance has Id and Views properties you can now do the proper thing:
foreach (var item in updatereponse)
{
method(item.Id, item.Views);
}
If you are saving this data in a file, an alternative would be to use XML instead of custom strings, then you could use Linq to XML to populate a List<ViewCount>, e.g. using a simple XML like this:
<ViewCounts>
<ViewCount id="ES10209005" views="501" />
</ViewCounts>
You can then load your list:
XElement viewXml = XElement.Load("test.xml");
List<ViewCount> viewCounts = viewXml.Descendants("ViewCount")
.Select(x => new ViewCount()
{
Id = (string)x.Attribute("id"),
Views = (int)x.Attribute("views")
}).ToList();
foreach (string v in updateresponse)
{
var values = v.Split(",");
var id = values[0].Replace("{ id = ", "").Trim();
var view = values[1].Replace("views = ", "").("}","").Trim();
method(id, value);
}
Here's another way...you may want to add error checking:
String Data = "{ id = ES10209005, views = 501 }";
String[] Segments = Data.Split(new char[] { ' ', ',' });
string ID = Segments[3];
int views = int.Parse(Segments[7]);
Assuming the structure of your String is like you showed us always, this can work for you.
// First split id and views part.
String[] firstSplit = v.Split(',');
// Get the respected value for each part.
String id = firstSplit[0].Split('=')[1].Trim();
String views = firstSplit[1].Split('=')[1].Trim().Replace("}","");
You can use String methods to retrieve the items (use Split and SubString for example) or you can use a regular expression.
E.g.
var list = UpdateResponse[0].Split("=,} ") ;
will result in a list split by all these characters (including space).
Then check the correct indices to use (use a debugger for that). Then you get something like:
var id = list[5];
var views = list[8];
(note: check the indices 5 or 8, they are just a guess).

I have the following problem.
I have these strings with whitespace between them.
"+name:string" "+age:int"
I split them with this code:
List<string> stringValueList = new List<string>();
stringValueList = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Split(stringValue, #"\s{2,}").ToList<string>();
now the elements of List looks like this
"+name:string"
"+age:int"
Now I want to split these strings and create Objects.
This looks like this:
// Storing the created objects in a List of objects
List<myObject> objectList = new List<myObject>();
for(i = 1; i < stringValueList.Count ; i+=2)
{
myObject object = new myObject();
object.modifier = '+';
object.name = stringValueList[i-1].Trim('+'); // out of the example the object.name should be "name"
object.type = stringValueList[i]; // out of the example the object.type value should "string"
objectList.Add(object);
}
At the end I should get two objects with these values:
List<myObject> objectList{ myObject object1{modifier = '+' , name ="name" , type="string"}, myObject object2{modifier='+', name="age" type="int"}}
But my result looks like this:
List<myObject> objectList {myObject object1 {modifier='+', name="name:string" type="+age:int"}}
So instead of getting 2 Objects, I am getting 1 Object. It puts both strings into the elements of the first object.
Can anyone help me out? I guess my problem is in the for loop because i-1 value is the first string in the List and i is the second string but I cant change this.
I guess my problem is in the for loop because i-1 value is the first string in the List and i is the second string but I cant change this.
I don't know why you do i += 2, because apparently you want to split each string in two again. So just have to change that.
Use foreach(), and inside your loop, split your string again:
foreach (var stringValue in stringValueList)
{
myObject object = new myObject();
var kvp = stringValue.Split(':');
object.modifier = '+';
object.name = kvp[0].Trim('+');
object.type = kvp[1];
objectList.Add(object);
}
Of course this code assumes your inputs are always valid; you'd have to add some boundary checks to make it more robust.
Alternatively, you could expand your Regex formula to do the whole thing in one go.
For example, with (?<=")[+](.*?):(.*?)(?="), all you'd have to do is assign the matched group values.
foreach (Match m in Regex.Matches(stringValue, "(?<=\")[+](.*?):(.*?)(?=\")"))
{
myObject obj = new myObject
{
modifier = '+',
name = m.Groups[1].Value,
type = m.Groups[2].Value
};
objectList.Add(obj);
}
It's interesting to see how others approach a problem. I would have done something like this:
public class MyObject
{
public char Modifier { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Type { get; set; }
public static IEnumerable<MyObject> Parse(string str)
{
return str
.Split(' ')
.Where(s => string.IsNullOrEmpty(s) == false)
.ToList()
.ForEach(i =>
{
var sections = i.Remove(0, 1).Split(':');
return new MyObject()
{
Modifier = i[0],
Name = sections[0],
Type = sections[1]
};
});
}
}
I have example data like this , the data is in the text file(.txt) sry i got this type of file, if its excel or csv maybe it will be easier
Edit : i make a console app with C#
FamilyID;name;gender;DOB;Place of birth;status
1;nicky;male;01-01-1998;greenland;married
1;sonia;female;02-02-1995;greenland;married
2;dicky;male;04-01-1995;bali;single
3;redding;male;01-05-1996;USA;single
3;sisca;female;05-03-1994;australia;married
i want to take the specific column from that data, for example i want to take FamilyID,Name and status.
I already tried some code to read data and take all the data and list it to new text file.
The goal is to create a new text file based on family ID, and only take specific columns.
The problem is : i cant take a specific column that i want from text file (don't know how to select many column in the code that i write)
DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
string tgl = date.Date.ToString("dd");
string bln = date.Month.ToString("d2");
string thn = date.Year.ToString();
string tglskrg = thn + "/" + bln + "/" + tgl;
string filename = ("C:\\Users\\Documents\\My Received Files\\exampledata.txt");
string[] liness = File.ReadAllLines(filename);
string[] col;
var lines = File.ReadAllLines(filename);
var groups = lines.Skip(1)
.Select(x => x.Split(';'))
.GroupBy(x => x[0]).ToArray();
foreach (var group in groups)
{
Console.WriteLine(group);
File.WriteAllLines(#"C:\\Users\\Documents\\My Received Files\\exampledata_"+group.Key+".txt", group.Select(x => string.Join(";", x)));
}
maybe someone can help? thankyou
One way to approach this would be capture the details to a data structure and later write the required details to file. For example,
public class Detail
{
public int FamilyID{get;set;}
public string Name{get;set;}
public string Gender{get;set;}
public DateTime DOB{get;set;}
public string PlaceOfBirth{get;set;}
public string Status{get;set;}
}
Now you can write a method that parses the string based on delimiter and returns an IEnumerable.
public IEnumerable<Detail> Parse(string source,char delimiter)
{
return source.Split(new []{Environment.NewLine},StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
.Skip(1)
.Select(x=>
{
var detail = x.Split(new []{delimiter});
return new Detail
{
FamilyID = Int32.Parse(detail[0]),
Name = detail[1],
Gender = detail[2],
DOB = DateTime.Parse(detail[3]),
PlaceOfBirth = detail[4],
Status = detail[5]
};
}
);
}
Client Call
Parse(stringFromFile,';');
Output
Now you can pick and write the details you want to write to output file from the collection.
try this.
var list = new List<String>();
list.Add("FamilyID;name;gender;DOB;Place of birth;status");
list.Add("1;nicky;male;01-01-1998;greenland;married");
list.Add("1;sonia;female;02-02-1995;greenland;married");
list.Add("2;dicky;male;04-01-1995;bali;single");
list.Add("3;redding;male;01-05-1996;USA;single");
list.Add("3;sisca;female;05-03-1994;australia;married");
var group = from item in list.Skip(1)
let splitItem = item.Split(';', StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
select new
{
FamilyID = splitItem[0],
Name = splitItem[1],
Status = splitItem[5],
};
foreach(var item in group.ToList())
{
Console.WriteLine($"Family ID: {item.FamilyID}, Name: {item.Name}, Status: {item.Status}");
}
I've got dates from separate countries within a single List<>. I'm trying to get two records that contain the same characters before the second comma, and replace BOTH of those items with a new one.
Example:
From This:
18/04/2014,Good Friday,England and Wales
18/04/2014,Good Friday,Scotland
Into this:
18/04/2014,Good Friday,"England, Wales and Scotland"
Please note there may be multiple scenarios within the list like the above example. I've managed to get everything before the second Comma with:
splitSubstring = line.Remove(line.LastIndexOf(','));
I've tried the below, but it's clearly flawed since it won't delete both the records even if it does find a match:
foreach (var line in orderedLines)
{
if (splitSubstring == line.Remove(line.LastIndexOf(',')))
{
//Replace if previous is match here
}
splitSubstring = line.Remove(line.LastIndexOf(','));
File.AppendAllText(correctFile, line);
}
I would suggest parsing it into a structure you can work with e.g.
public class HolidayInfo
{
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string[] Countries { get; set; }
};
And then
string[] lines = new string[]
{
"18/04/2014,Good Friday,England and Wales",
"18/04/2014,Good Friday,Scotland"
};
// splits the lines into an array of strings
IEnumerable<string[]> parsed = lines.Select(l => l.Split(','));
// copy the parsed lines into a data structure you can write code against
IEnumerable<HolidayInfo> info = parsed
.Select(l => new HolidayInfo
{
Date = DateTime.Parse(l[0]),
Name = l[1],
Countries = l[2].Split(new[] {",", " and " }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
});
...etc. And once you have it in a helpful data structure you can begin to develop the required logic. The above code is just an example, the approach is what you should focus on.
I ended up using LINQ to pull apart the List and .Add() them into another based on an if statement. LINQ made it nice and simple.
//Using LINQ to seperate the two locations from the list.
var seperateScotland = from s in toBeInsertedList
where s.HolidayLocation == scotlandName
select s;
var seperateEngland = from e in toBeInsertedList
where e.HolidayLocation == engAndWales
select e;
Thanks for pointing me to LINQ
I'm trying to figure out the best way to get everything before the / character in a string. Some example strings are below.
var url = dr.FindElements(By.XPath("//*[#id=\"u_0_3\"]/div/h1/a"));
foreach (var item in url)
{
if (item.GetAttribute("href").ToString().Contains("https://www.facebook.com/"))
{
listBox4.Items.Add("here");
}
}
the href is like that = "http://facebook.com/xxx"
want the xxx which is username want to get it alone in my listbox without the rest of the url
If you're at the point where you've got the string you want to work with, here are two ways to do this:
Split the string by / and take the last part
var stringToProcess = "https://www.facebook.com/ProfileName";
var partsOfString = stringToProcess.Split(new char[] { '/' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
var profileName = partsOfString.Last();
Use the Uri class to extract the last part
var stringToProcess = "https://www.facebook.com/ProfileName";
var stringToProcessAsUri = new Uri(stringToProcess);
var profileNameFromUri = stringToProcessAsUri.Segments.Last();
This is the "strictly better" way as it will give you a clean result even if the profile address has a query string attached to it, i.e:
var stringToProcess = "https://www.facebook.com/ProfileName?abc=def";
var stringToProcessAsUri = new Uri(stringToProcess);
var profileNameFromUri = stringToProcessAsUri.Segments.Last();
You'll still have the variable profileNameFromUri returned containing only ProfileName
I'm having a list of strings whit some values and I want to make some kind of variable for keeping code that I will be using in template file.
For example lets say I have list with this 3 string values: configService, scaleCoefConfigService, sessionService. Name of the list is chItemName.
And I need to generate this kind of code that I will parse later into template:
[Dependency("configService")]
[Dependency("scaleCoefConfigService")]
[Dependency("sessionService")]
So my question is can make some variable and mechanism for iterating thou list of strings that adds every single item from list to variable?
I've tried this:
foreach (var tp in controllerChecked)
{
var genCode = "[Dependency](" '"' + chItemName + '"'")] \n"
}
controllerChecked is collection of objects and one of the objects value is Name that I'm getting like this:
var chItemName = controllerChecked.Select(c => c.Name).ToList();
This is how the list chItemName is getting those strings.
But of course it is impossible to use + with lists and this kind of stuff will never work. Someone has better idea?
In your example, you are not using the tp variable, which contains will contain each of the values within controllerChecked, one at a time.
You could just iterate through the chItemName list and add the result to a StringBuilder:
StringBuilder codeBuilder = new StringBuilder();
foreach (string tp in chItemName)
{
codeBuilder.AppendLine("[Dependency(\"" + tp + "\")]");
}
string code = codeBuilder.ToString();
If controllerChecked contains more information, you could also directly access it:
StringBuilder codeBuilder = new StringBuilder();
foreach (var item in controllerChecked)
{
string propertyName = item.Name.SubString(1);
codeBuilder.AppendLine("[Dependency(\"" + item.Name + "\")]");
codeBuilder.AppendLine("public " + item.Type + " " + propertyName + " { get; set; }");
codeBuilder.AppendLine();
}
string code = codeBuilder.ToString();
PS. I would definitely change the name of chItemName to chItemNames as it is a list, but that is up to you of course.
This worked perfectly good. I have little bit harder version of this, if you can figure out how to do this:
Lets say that instead of one chItemName list I have 2 more: fName and chItemType, both are string lists.
And I have to generate this kind of code:
[Dependency("alarmsService")]
public IAlarmsService AlarmsService { get; set; }
[Dependency("jsonFactory")]
public IJSONFactoryService JsonFactory { get; set; }
[Dependency("dataBean")]
public IDataBean DataBean { get; set; }
alarmsServise, jsonFactory and dataBean are items of chItemName.
IAlarmsService, IJSONFactoryService and IDataBean are items of chItemType.
AlarmsService, Json Factory and DataBean are items of fName list.
fName is list that I got from chItemType by trimming the first letter from each string in list:
List<string> fName = new List<string>();
foreach(var i in chItemType)
{
var newName = i.Remove(0,1);
fName.Add(newName);
}
So only that list is not a part of controllerChecked list. The othere two are defined like this:
var chItemType = controllerChecked.Select(c => c.Type).ToList();
var chItemName = controllerChecked.Select(c => c.Name).ToList();
Can I edit foreach somehow or maybe I can make parts of code with StringBulider and after that merged them together?
