How do I encode Ctrl functions in QR Codes? - qr-code

I want to make a QR Codes to automate a process for label printing using Easy Labels.
I've already created QR codes that contain file paths and part numbers.
Where I'm running into a brick wall is finding a way to include Control Commands, specifically Ctrl+o and Ctrl+p so Open File and Print commands are issued from the QR code.
I've searched for weeks trying to find a way and this community is the closest thing I've found to a glimmer of hope.
Since I'm trying to do this in plain text, I have no code, so I will provide the desired sequence when scanned by the operator.
(Ctrl+o)T:\Easy Labels\Customers\Toyota\MEX_mat.lab
(Ctrl+p)1704412
The goal is to make a fast and easy way for operators to print their labels as quickly as possible with as few steps as possible on their part with minimum errors.
When the QR is scanned, the first thing it will need to do is issue an Open File command followed by a string that contains the entire file path where the labels for that particular part is located in the database, then sends a return carriage to finish the open process.
Next, it will send a single space to clear a pop-up window message.
Finally, it will send a Print command followed by another string that contains the part number.
If I have to wrote code to accomplish this, assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The test QR code has been generated with Java code. It might or might not be helpful for you:
package qrcodetest;
import io.nayuki.qrcodegen.QrCode;
public class QrCodeWithCtrl {
public static void main(String[] args) {
QrCode qrCode = QrCode.encodeText("\u000fT:\\Easy Labels\\Customers\\Toyota\\MEX_mat.lab\n\u00101704412", QrCode.Ecc.MEDIUM);
System.out.println(qrCode.toSvgString(8));
}
}
In the code \u000f stand for CTRL+O, \u0010 stands for CTRL+P. The four digit number is in hexadecimal and goes from 0001 for CTRL+A to 001a for CTRL+Z.
The code uses the QR code library (available on Maven Central):
io.nayuki:qrcodegen:1.4.0

First token could not be read or is not the keyword 'FoamFile' in OpenFOAM

I am a beginner to programming. I am trying to run a simulation of a combustion chamber using reactingFoam.
I have modified the counterflow2D tutorial.
For those who maybe don't know OpenFOAM, it is a programme built in C++ but it does not require C++ programming, just well-defining the variables in the files needed.
In one of my first tries I have made a very simple model but since I wanted to check it very well I set it to 60 seconds with a 1e-6 timestep.
My computer is not very powerful so it took me for a day aprox. (by this I mean I'd like to find a solution rather than repeating the simulation).
I executed the solver reactingFOAM using 4 processors in parallel using
mpirun -np 4 reactingFOAM -parallel > log
The log does not show any evidence of error.
The problem is that when I use reconstructPar it works perfectly but then I try to watch the results with paraFoam and this error is shown:
From function bool Foam::IOobject::readHeader(Foam::Istream&)
in file db/IOobject/IOobjectReadHeader.C at line 88
Reading "mypath/constant/reactions" at line 1
First token could not be read or is not the keyword 'FoamFile'
I have read that maybe some files are empty when they are not supposed to be so, but I have not found that problem.
My 'reactions' file have not been modified from the tutorial and has always worked.
edit:
Sorry for the vague question. I have modified it a bit.
A typical OpenFOAM dictionary file always contains a Foam::Istream named FoamFile. An example from a typical system/controlDict file can be seen below:
FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class dictionary;
location "system";
object controlDict;
}
During the construction of the dictionary header, if this Istream is absent, OpenFOAM ceases its operation by raising an error message that you have experienced:
First token could not be read or is not the keyword 'FoamFile'
The benefit of the header is possibly to contribute OpenFOAM's abstraction mechanisms, which would be difficult otherwise.
As mentioned in the comments, adding the header entity almost always solves this problem.

Reading multiple lines from QTextedit

I'm trying to write my own code-editor, I figure its a good way to learn pyQt.
I am using a qtextedit, in which i can write code(it's not real code, more pseudo code).
Each line represents ending in a semi-colon represents some command
e.g.
PSEUDO->FWD->90;
PSEUDO->STOP;
PSEUDO->RIGHT 90;
PSEUDO->FWD 10;
These are relatively easy to read, as the user presses the [ENTER] the current line is read, parsed and checked for errors so the following
PSEUDO->RIGHT -pi/2
would generate an error because the line doesn't end in a semi-colon and the value following RIGHT needs to be a number.(my editor, my rules).All this I have more or less got working.
I would like to know how to do multiple lines though. I am familiar with editors such as Eclipse,sublime or visual studio which handle muliple lines very well, in my case
PSEUDO->DO:
FWD->90
RIGHT->45
FWD->10
LEFT->55
FWD->50
STOP;
Should all be read in and treated as one statement, starting at the keyword PSEUDO and ending at the semi-colon.
However the following should be read as 3 separate statements.
PSEUDO->DO:
FWD->90
RIGHT->45
FWD->10
LEFT->55
FWD->50
STOP;
PSEUDO->DO:
FWD->90
RIGHT->45
STOP;
PSEUDO->BACK 10;
My question how can I go about reading muliple lines as described above from QTextEditor as discreet statements.
Should I do the parse/check whenever I press the [ENTER] key for a new line?
I'm using python2.7,pyQT, and QTextEdit.
Basically what you are trying to do, can be done with all the text of the document and some regular expressions. I would be careful with this course, because it may slow things down.
So to stay lean and to use the right classes of Qt, I would use anything related to the Rich Text Processing, QTextDocument, and QTextCursor.
I have used QSyntaxHighlighter quite a bit, and QRegExp. There is now QRegularExpression, too. Here are the classes and general documentation I'd look at to get started with Rich Text processing.

Hope that helps.

Tesseract use of number-dawg

I need to specify a numeric pattern. I already made training normally.
I created a config file that has the line
user_patterns_suffix user-patterns
and the file user-patterns contains my patterns, for example:
:\d\d\d\d\d\d\d.
:\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d;
!\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d}
then I launch tesseract with the config file over a tif, and it tells me "Error: failed to insert pattern " message, for the first two patterns. It ultimately acts as if no pattern has been issued.
I need to recognize only and ever that patterns, and tried to train a language with a number-dawg file, but then, when using tesseract command, I got a segmentation fault.
I used in the number-dawg file its conversion of the above patterns:
: .
: ;
! }
The questions, as the google documentation is not clear, and I do not speak english:
the patterns file, where have to be used? I suppose number-dawg has to be used during training, but I got seg fault so couldn't try with it, and user-patterns during recognition phase, when launching Tesseract, but didn't work. Where am I doing errors?
do I need a dictionary, also, when training with number-dawg? I have a digit and punctiation only set of possible characters, and all the possible numbers in the digits, a dictionary is not possible. If I need to use dictionaries, how could I do?
Thanks in advance for help, any hint would be very appreciated

Are there any equivalent of C/C++ __FILE__ and __LINE__ macros in R?

I'm trying to get the equivalent of FILE or LINE macros in C or C++ in R (or S+). Any ideas?
FILE The presumed name of the current source file (a character string literal).
LINE The presumed line number (within the current source file) of the current source line (an integer constant).
As for context - I have log messages being flushed to console from different sections of the code, and given that the messages themselves are built at run-time, it is often very difficult to find out where this log message is coming from (with the size of the R code growing to many thousand lines and running on a distributed grid). However if I could dump the FILE and LINE number along with the log messages, it would be much easier to trace the logs...
Use the #line directive. The structure is #line nn "filename". See Duncan's Murdoch's article on source references for more.

Unix write() function (libc)

I am making a C application in Unix that uses raw tty input.
I am calling write() to characters on the display, but I want to manipulate the cursor:
ssize_t
write(int d, const void *buf, size_t nbytes);
I've noticed that if buf has the value 8 (I mean char tmp = 8, then passing &tmp), it will move the cursor/pointer backward on the screen.
I was wondering where I could find all the codes, for example, I wish to move the cursor forward but I cannot seem to find it via Google.
Is there a page that lists all the code for the write() function please?
Thank you very much,
Jary
8 is just the ascii code for backspace. You can type man ascii and look at all the values (the man page on my Ubuntu box has friendlier names for the values). If you want to do more complicated things you may want to look at a library like ncurses.
You have just discovered that character code 8 is backspace (control-H).
You would probably be best off using the curses library to manage the screen. However, you can find out what control sequences curses knows about by using infocmp to decompile the terminfo entry for your terminal. The format isn't particularly easy to understand, but it is relatively comprehensive. The alternative is to find a manual for the terminal, which tends to be rather hard.
For instance, I'm using a color Xterm window; infocmp says:
# Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /usr/share/terminfo/78/xterm-color
xterm-color|nxterm|generic color xterm,
am, km, mir, msgr, xenl,
colors#8, cols#80, it#8, lines#24, ncv#, pairs#64,

That contains information about box drawing characters, code sequences generated by function keys, various cursor movement sequences, and so on.
You can find out more about X/Open Curses (v4.2) in HTML. However, that is officially obsolete, superseded by X/Open Curses v7, which you can download for free in PDF.
If you're using write just so you have low-level cursor control, I think you are using the wrong tool for the job. There are command codes for many types of terminal. VT100 codes, for example, are sequences of the form "\x1b[...", but rather than sending raw codes, you'd be much better off using a library like ncurses.
