Graphite not showing labels when rendered using wildcards - graphite

In order to generate graphs in graphite, i am using the URL render API. My URL is of the form-
<IP>/render?&target=stats.beta.*.ip-10-0-0-179.counter.ant.*.*.succeeded&title=Notification&lineMode=connected
The graph does have a title, but the individual five lines do not have any alias. The alias function doesn't work with wildcards.

aliasByNode(seriesList, *nodes) works with wildcards. The function name is quite confusing, it simply splits the key by dots and takes i-th value specified as second argument. It is indexed from 0.
&target=aliasByNode(ganglia.*.cpu*.load5, 1)
^
\ name the series by this part
you can specify multiple parts to use as a lengend:
aliasByNode(localhost.*.cpu-{system,user,wait}),0,2)
^ ^
\-----------\-should take these two -> 'localhost-cpu-system'

If you want to alias wildcards, you should use the aliasByNode() function. And as was mentioned by talonx, combine that with hidelegend

Delete part of file name (up to but NOT including string)

I have a script that was very kindly provided for me a while ago which allowed me to generate input files by inserting coordinates from a series of .xyz files into a template file (Create new files by copying contents of coordinate files into template file).
I'm trying to adapt that script to do something very similar, but different in a very slight, but annoying way. In the script, the new directories created to house these new files are named like this:
# File name is in the form '....Hnnn.xyz';
# this will parse nnn from that name.
local inputNumber=$coordFile
# Remove '.xyz'.
inputNumber=${inputNumber%.xyz}
# Remove everything up to and including the 'H'.
inputNumber=${inputNumber##*H}
# Subdirectory name is based on the input number.
local outDir=$baseDir/D$inputNumber
# Create the directory if it doesn't exist.
if [[ ! -d $outDir ]]; then
mkdir $outDir
fi
This worked for my last problem, because the files were all named in the form xxxx_DH000.xyz. However, now the files I have are named using the form xxxx.000.xyz. While everything else in the script works, I cannot figure out how to name the new directories in the form 000.
The line in the script which I think needs to be edited slightly is where it says inputNumber=${inputNumber##*H}. What I cannot figure out is how to get the script to delete everything up to but not including a 0. I've searched online, but the only questions/answers I've found relating to the renaming of files by stripping part of the original names speaks about deleting everything 'up to and including' a string.
I was able to generate directories named 1, 2, 3, etc. with inputNumber=${inputNumber##*0}, however I want all three digits present (i.e. I would like create directories 001, 002, 003, etc.).
As an aside, I cannot use the . as the cutoff point, as there are multiple .s in each file name. An example of one of the file names is tma.h2s-2-pes-b97m-d4-tz.011.xyz.
Is there some way to get the script to simply name the files based on the full three digit number?
Although it's not needed in this case, zsh does support deleting text just before a matched pattern in a string. These parameter expansions will remove everything prior to the first 0 in the string, but keep the 0:
inputNumber='tma.h2s-2-pes-b97m-d4-tz.011.xyz'
inputNumber=${inputNumber:r} # remove '.xyz'
inputNumber=${(SM)inputNumber##0*}
print ${inputNumber}
# ==> 011
This includes a few zsh-isms:
${...:r} returns the 'root' of a filename, removing the extension.
(S) - parameter expansion flag to change the behavior of the ## expansion. It will now search for patterns in the middle of a string, not just at the beginning.
(M) - flag to include the pattern match (the 0*) in the result.
This depends on the number always starting with 0, which may not be a good choice - what file comes after 099?
This next version uses a zsh extended glob pattern to find a number between two periods, and returns that number - i.e. it will find the number in .11., .011., or .2345., but not in .x11.:
coordFile='tma.h2s-2-pes-b97m-d4-tz.022.xyz'
inputNumber=${(*)coordFile//(#b)*.(<->).*/${match}}
print ${inputNumber}
# ==> 022
Some of the pieces:
${...//.../...} - substitution expansion.
(*) - enables extendedglob for this expansion.
(#b) - globbing flag to enable 'backreferences', so that $match will work.
<-> - matches a number. This can be restricted to a range if needed, like <100-199>.
(<->) - puts the number into a match group.
*. and .* - everything before and after the number; these are not in the match group.
${match} - the matched string from the parenthesized part of the pattern. This is used as the replacement for the entire string, so we get just the number. If more than one part of the input string matches the pattern, this will be the last one. match is actually an array, but since there's only one match group in the pattern, it does not need to be indexed with ${match[1]}.
This variant uses a standard regular expression to find the number:
coordFile='tma.h2s-2-pes-b97m-d4-tz.033.xyz'
match=
[[ $coordFile =~ .*\\.([[:digit:]]+)\\..* ]]
inputNumber=${match[1]}
print ${inputNumber}
# ==> 033
After the [[ ]] test, the match array will contain matches from any parenthesized groups in the regular expression - here, that will be a set of one or more digits in between two periods / full stops.
But, as #choroba and Fravadona have noted, since the number will be always be at the end of the string, you can use the standard #/##/%/%% expansions to remove parts of the string based only on the .s. This is a common idiom that will be familiar to many shell programmers, and will also work in bash (note that other parts of your original script depend on zsh).
inputNumber='tma.h2s-2-pes-b97m-d4-tz.044.xyz'
inputNumber=${inputNumber%.xyz}
inputNumber=${inputNumber##*.}
print ${inputNumber}
# ==> 044
In zsh everything can be consolidated into a single nested substitution:
baseDir='files/are/here'
coordFile='tma.h2s-2-pes-b97m-d4-tz.055.xyz'
local outDir=$baseDir/D${${coordFile:r}##*.}
print $outDir
# ==> files/are/here/D055

R - Split character vector using regex

I've got some kind of logfile I'd like to read and analyse. Unfortunately the files are saved in a pretty "ugly" way (with lots of special characters in between), so I'm not able to read in just the lines with each one being an entry. The only way to separate the different entries is using regular expressions, since the beginning of each entry follows a specified pattern.
My first approach was to identify the pattern in the character vector (I use read_file from the readr-package) and use the corresponding positions to split the vector with strsplit. Unfortunately the positions seem not always to match, since the result doesn't always correspond to the entries (I'd guess that there's a problem with the special characters).
A typical line of the file looks as follows:
16/10/2017, 21:51 - George: This is a typical entry here
The corresponding regular expressions looks as follows:
([[:digit:]]{2})/([[:digit:]]{2})/([[:digit:]]{4}), ([[:digit:]]{2}):([[:digit:]]{2}) - ([[:alpha:]]+):
The first thing I want is a data.frame with each line corresponding to a specific entry (in a next step I'd split the pattern into its different parts).
What I tried so far was the following:
regex.log = "([[:digit:]]{2})/([[:digit:]]{2})/([[:digit:]]{4}), ([[:digit:]]{2}):([[:digit:]]{2}) - ([[:alpha:]]+):"
log.regex = gregexpr(regex.log, file.log)[[1]]
log.splitted = substring(file.log, log.regex, log.regex[2:355]-1)
As can be seen this logfile has 355 entries. The first ones are separated correctly. How can I separate the character vector using a regular expression without loosing the information of the regular expression/pattern?
Use capturing and non-capturing groups to identify the parts you want to keep, and be sure to use anchors:
file.log = "16/10/2017, 21:51 - George: This is a typical entry here"
regex.log = "^((?:[[:digit:]]{2})\\/(?:[[:digit:]]{2})\\/(?:[[:digit:]]{4}), (?:[[:digit:]]{2}):(?:[[:digit:]]{2}) - (?:[[:alpha:]]+)): (.*)$"
gsub(regex.log,"\\1",file.log)
>> "16/10/2017, 21:51 - George"
gsub(regex.log,"\\2",file.log)
>> "This is a typical entry here"

Replacing a specific part

I have a list like this:
DEL075MD1BWP30P140LVT
AN2D4BWP30P140LVT
INVD0P7BWP40P140
IND2D6BWP30P140LVT
I want to replace everything in between D and BWP with a *
How can I do that in unix and tcl
Do you have the whole list available at the same time, or are you getting one item at a time from somewhere?
Should all D-BWP groups be processed, or just one per item?
If just one per item, should it be the first or last (those are the easiest alternatives)?
Tcl REs don't have any lookbehind, which would have been nice here. But you can do without both lookbehinds and lookaheads if you capture the goalpost and paste them into the replacement as back references. The regular expression for the text between the goalposts should be [^DB]+, i.e. one or more of any text that doesn't include D or B (to make sure the match doesn't escape the goalposts and stick to other Ds or Bs in the text). So: {(D)[^DB]+(BWP)} (braces around the RE is usually a good idea).
If you have the whole list and want to process all groups, try this:
set result [regsub -all {(D)[^DB]+(BWP)} $lines {\1*\2}]
(If you can only work with one line at a time, it's basically the same, you just use a variable for a single line instead of a variable for the whole list. In the following examples, I use lmap to generate individual lines, which means I need to have the whole list anyway; this is just an example.)
Process just the first group in each line:
set result [lmap line $lines {
regsub {(D)[^DB]+(BWP)} $line {\1*\2}
}]
Process just the last group in each line:
set result [lmap line $lines {
regsub {(D)[^DB]+(BWP[^D]*)$} $line {\1*\2}
}]
The {(D)[^DB]+(BWP[^D]*)$} RE extends the right goalpost to ensure that there is no D (and hence possibly a new group) anywhere between the goalpost and the end of the string.

RaphaelJS: Can I use a fill operation inside a path? (w/o fill-attr)

I use paper.path("M10 10L90 90") function for drawing several (!) symbols (lines, triangles, ...). Means I only use one single path string. Now I want to fill only one of several symbols inside this single path. So I cannot use the .attr("fill", "#123456") function, as all symbols would be filled.
Does anyone knew a possibility to do the trick? (beside split the path into several paths)
You could try using subpaths of your one big path:
Element.getSubpath(from, to);
Have a look at this example - http://jsfiddle.net/aStBR/

Programmatically getting a list of variables

Is it possible to get a list of declared variables with a VimL (aka VimScript) expression? I'd like to get the same set of values that will be presented for a command using -complete=expression. The goal is to augment that list for use in a user-defined command completion function.
You can use g: as a dictionary that holds all global variables, so:
let globals = keys(g:)
will give you all the names. The same applies to the other scopes: b:, s:, w:, etc. See :help internal-variables for the complete list.
You can get something similar using keys of g:, b:, t:, w: and v: dictionaries, but beware of the following facts:
There is no equivalent to this dictionaries if you want to complete options.
Some variables like count (but not g:count or l:count), b:changedtick and, maybe, others are not present in this dictionaries.
Some vim hacker may add key ### to dictionary g:, but it won't make expression g:### valid variable name (but adding 000 there will). Though g:["###"] will be a valid expression.
