| 08:57 | <@Emmy> | 0.0 Oh. Now there's a small miracle |
| 08:57 | <@Emmy> | here i am, looking for a method to implement dragging a file into a hyperlink field in access |
| 08:57 | <@Emmy> | and it turns out that this is already a thing that works |
| 08:58 | <@Emmy> | Now if only it didn't create relative paths. |
| 09:14 | <@Emmy> | heh. it kinda stirs my ego when i'm viewed as the go-to person for complicated questions at the company. :D |
| 09:17 | < catadroid`> | I enjoy that feeling too |
| 09:17 | | catadroid` is now known as catadroid |

| 13:47 | <@ErikMesoy> | Python: How do I best take a YourNameHere string , which contains zero or more instances of %s, and a Name string, and do (YourNameHere % Name) the appropriate amount of times, then return the result? |
| 13:48 | <@ErikMesoy> | Simply doing (YourNameHere % Name) errors if YourNameHere does not contain exactly one %s. What's the equivalent of "for each %s, do %Name" ? |
| 13:48 | <@ErikMesoy> | I have a function sketched but it looks incredibly hairy. |
| 13:57 | <@abudhabi> | You could write a function that takes the template string and the argument, then checks if the template contains %s, and either substitutes the payload or just returns the original template string. |
| 13:58 | <@abudhabi> | fun(template,payload) { if (template.contains("%s") return template.format(payload); else return template; } |
| 13:58 | <@abudhabi> | Apply appropriate python to this pseudocode. |
| 13:58 | <@ErikMesoy> | That is pretty much what I've written, except I inlined format() and it is hairy. |
| 14:00 | <@ErikMesoy> | "Hi %s, welcome to %s Hall" % "Bob" is an error. "Hi %s, welcome to %s Hall" % ("Bob", "Bob") is correct and I don't see the clean way of constructing the ("Bob", "Bob") for formatting. |
| 14:09 | <@pjdelport> | ErikMesoy: That sounds like an XY Problem. What do you actually want to do? |
| 14:11 | <@ErikMesoy> | pjdelport: Well, basically the part with inserting Name in a YourNameHere string the appropriate amount of times in a non-terribly-hairy way. I'm not attached to %s, but {} seems to have similar trouble. |
| 14:11 | <@pjdelport> | The general answer would be to parse the template to determine the number of slots, but that doesn't necessarily solve your original problem. |
| 14:11 | <@pjdelport> | Yes, but why, and for what? |
| 14:12 | <@pjdelport> | Especially if it's not specific to the % syntax; that changes the problem substantially. |
| 14:12 | <@ErikMesoy> | In order to be able to use generic message strings and name strings so that I can describe events that happen without having to tell each object "This is how you talk about yourself". |
| 14:12 | <@pjdelport> | (Are you familiar with the XY Problem phenomenon?) |
| 14:12 | <@ErikMesoy> | (Yes) |

| 14:12 | <@pjdelport> | Oh. So just named arguments, then? |
| 14:13 | <@ErikMesoy> | I'm not sure what you mean by that, but it sounds right. |
| 14:13 | <@pjdelport> | >>> 'Hello {name}. I had a pet named {name}.'.format(name='foo') |
| 14:13 | <@pjdelport> | 'Hello foo. I had a pet named foo.' |
| 14:13 | <@ErikMesoy> | Wait, I thought I tried that and it errored. |
| 14:13 | <@ErikMesoy> | Lemme poke at this. |
| 14:14 | <@pjdelport> | If this is for a game, you might want a fuller template rendering language? |
| 14:15 | <@ErikMesoy> | Aha. I was using literal {} which requires format(name, name, name) repeated the correct number of times. {name} just takes format(Name). |
| 14:18 | <@ErikMesoy> | For the record of future generations: "{0} and more {0}".format("spam") --> "spam and more spam", this is the occurences-invariant version I can now use. But I had had "{} and more {}".format("spam") --> error. (And ditto error with %s) |
| 14:29 | <@pjdelport> | Yes, you need named or numbered items to refer to an item more than once. |
| 14:30 | <@pjdelport> | The {} is just a shortcut for {0}, {1}, etc. |
| 14:30 | <@pjdelport> | (it was added later) |
