python - How to grab a chunk of data from a file? -

-

i want grab chunk of data file. know start line , end line. wrote code incomplete , don't know how solve further. 

file = open(filename,'r')     end_line='### leave comment!' star_line = 'kill master'     line in file:             if star_line in line:            ?? 

startmarker = "ohai" endmarker = "meheer?" marking = false result = []  open("somefile") f:   line in f:     if line.startswith(startmarker): marking = true     elif line.startswith(endmarker): marking = false      if marking: result.append(line)  if len(result) > 1:   print "".join(result[1:])

explanation: with block nice way use files -- makes sure don't forget close() later. for walks each line and:

  • starts outputting when sees line starts 'ohai' (including line)
  • stops outputting when sees line starts 'meheer?' (without outputting line).

after loop, result contains part of file needed, plus initial marker. rather making loop more complicated ignore marker, throw out using slice: result[1:] returns elements in result starting @ index 1; in other words, excludes first element (index 0).

update reflect add partial-line matches:

startmarker = "ohai" endmarker = "meheer?" marking = false result = []  open("somefile") f:   line in f:     if not marking:       index = line.find(startmarker)       if index != -1:         marking = true         result.append(line[index:])     else:       index = line.rfind(endmarker)       if index != -1:         marking = false         result.append(line[:index + len(endmarker)])       else:         result.append(line)  print "".join(result)

yet more explanation: marking still tells whether should outputting whole lines, i've changed if statements start , end markers follows:

  • if we're not (yet) marking, , see startmarker, output current line starting @ marker. find method returns position of first occurrence of startmarker in case. line[index:] notation means 'the content of line starting @ position index.

  • while marking, output current line entirely unless contains endmarker. here, use rfind find rightmost occurrence of endmarker, , line[...] notation means 'the content of line position index (the start of match) plus marker itself.' also: stop marking :)

razor - Is this a bug in WebMatrix PageData? -

i think may have found bug in webmatrix's pagedata, not sure. concerns how pass data partial page calling page. in webmatrix documentation (tutorials, e.g. " 3 - creating consistent look ", , example code), pagedata recommended mechanism pass data between pages (e.g. content page layout page, or partial page). however have found not work other way, pass data partial page calling page. modifying or adding entries in pagedata in partial page, not seem calling page. cutting right down simplest possible example, in test page may have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "initial entry"; } <p>before calling partial page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> @renderpage("_testpartial.cshtml") <p>after returning calling page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> and in _testpartial.cshtml page might have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "modified entry"; } <p>in partial page...

c# - How to set Z index when using WPF DrawingContext? -

-
how set z-index drawing object when using drawingcontext.drawxxx() methods? the object drawn last have higher z index. can't change index of drawn objects. way draw in order. if using wpf (as placed tag), can use, example, canvas control. create shapes need like polyline obj = new polyline(); //... // ... set properties of obj and add them canvas uielementcollection: yourcanvasname.children.add(obj); //or yourcanvasname.children.insert(i, obj); first items of collection have higher z index. advantages in way: no need redraw on window changes, can anytime move objects , change order.

c# - Cloning WPF controls and object hierarchies -

i have problems cloning object hierarchie. it's toolkit modelling applications, toolbox contains class instances prototypes. i'm having hard time cloning these :) the following code shows problem: public abstract class shape { protected list<uielement> elements; private canvas canvas; ... public canvas getcanvas() { ... }; } public class movableshape : shape { protected ... propertya; private ... propertyxy; ... } public abstract class abstractlayout : movableshape, ... { ... } public class somelayoutclass : abstractlayout, ... { ... } public class acontainingclass { somelayoutclass layout { get; set; } ... } when insert object of acontainingclass project worksheet, should cloned. far tried manual cloning (which fails because of private fields in base classes) , binary serialization ( binaryformatter , memorystreams ). the first approach lacks way call base.clone() method (or wrong?), latter not work because uielement s aren't...
