#71674 - 2002-11-21 02:04 AM In reference to LIKE2 UDF
NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11631 Loc: CA	Crazy Eddie Since the UDF forum is for the actual UDF and not discussion I'm posting here to discuss it. http://www.kixtart.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=12;t=000217 LIKE2("ron", "r?n") returns a 0 for me. Am I using it incorrectly? LIKE2("ron", "ron") returns a 1 for me Or do I need to set my parse character to the question mark?

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11631 Loc: CA	Hmmm... Crazy Eddie elected not to allow us to PM him, and listed no other email address He also apparently has not seen this post either. i.e. His UDF LIKE2 LIKE2 UDF Does not appear to work for me, or I'm using it incorrectly.

More importantly I found some logical errors with this function anyway. The following function calls both returned 1 for me. LIKE2("Edward is very cool, extra stuff, ", "Edwrd COOL") LIKE2(", extra stuff, Edward is very cool", "Edwrd COOL") Both calls should actually return 0. If the wildcard string does not begin and/or end with a wildcard, then the other string must begin and/or end with exactly the same as the wildcard. For example, the following returns 1. ? LIKE2("executable.exe", "cu.exe") which could be devastating in the wrong situation. -Eric _________________________ Eric

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11631 Loc: CA	Thanks maciep, but his EXAMPLES in the code information show him using ? which is why I asked if I need to "specify" the paramater. Anyways... yeah, either I'm doing it wrong, or it is not working correctly for me either.

Crazy Eddie Crazy Eddie Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-11-20 Posts: 105 Loc: Sacramento, CA USA	NTDoc - I fixed my profile to allow PMs and email via the board. Thanks for the tip. I also removed the 1.0 version in the reply to maciep. (It originally allowed ? and ...now is hardcoded as the parse character.) The new thread is the only current copy. Maciep - you are correct, there's a logical error. Let me work on it, or I'll pull the posting. Sorry for the troubles. _________________________ {Insert your favorite Witty Tag Line here}

Crazy Eddie Crazy Eddie Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-11-20 Posts: 105 Loc: Sacramento, CA USA	Damn it took awhile, but I've posted the newest iteration of LIKE2() It now Should work correctly. Note, it now treats "?" as exactly one wild character, and "*" as zero or more wild characters. (I abandoned the array mask method completely.) Please let me know if you find any bugs!

maciep maciep Korg Regular Registered: 2002-06-14 Posts: 947 Loc: Pittsburgh	Found another one. The following returns 0: LIKE2("ball", "l") LIKE2("success", "s") I ran into the same problem with words ending in two of the same letter while writing Like(). But that's the only problem I found with new LIKE2(). BTW Crazy Eddie, have you tested Like() since I added the search() function back to the post. If you don't find any internal errors anymore, I would appreciate it if you could take that part out of the LIKE2() posting. Thanks. -Eric _________________________ Eric

Crazy Eddie Crazy Eddie Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-11-20 Posts: 105 Loc: Sacramento, CA USA	Eric, I went to retest LIKE(), but it has been removed. I'm sorry. I have updated my comments to accurately reflect that you deserve a lot of credit for the LIKE2() functionality. LIKE2() is superior, in that it allows CaseSensitive and fully supports * and ? searches. However, it wouldn't exist without your earlier example, and your assitance in testing. Thank you. I have corrected the final mask testing code for a repeating alpha string. (Ver 1.3) I believe that is the last issue. Feel free to comment again! Best to you, Ed _________________________ {Insert your favorite Witty Tag Line here}

I get "You have requested a topic that does not exist!" error, from multiple PCs. (Unless UBB is personally targeting me.) _________________________ {Insert your favorite Witty Tag Line here}

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11631 Loc: CA	Lonkero.. Has nothing to do with how often the UDF is updated. I can not find the LIKE() UDF either. Search finds it, but when you click on it, it says You have requested a topic that does not exist! I assume the author removed it or a Moderator p.s. I have backed down my update time to 4 hours. For now since it does not really impact me, I let it update each 4 hours. If my system has issues or people in general don't want it updated that frequently - I guess I can back it down even further.

maciep maciep Korg Regular Registered: 2002-06-14 Posts: 947 Loc: Pittsburgh	Hey everyone, I am going to repost the Like() function anyway. It has been updated to also allow the single-character wildcard. As far as LIKE2() is concerned I just tested it with the following LIKE2("blinddd", "*dd") And it returned 0. So there are still some logical errors. Anyway, when I do post the Like() function again, please test the new functionality and let me know if you find anything that's not working. -Eric _________________________ Eric

LIKE() functionality was improved, and LIKE2() is just another me-too UDF now. It was a learning experience. -Ed _________________________ {Insert your favorite Witty Tag Line here}
