Problem

I have a large JSON file (~700.000 lines, 1.2GB filesize) containing twitter data that I need to preprocess for data and network analysis. During the data collection an error happend: Instead of using " as a seperator ' was used. As this does not conform with the JSON standard, the file can not be processed by R or Python.

Information about the dataset: Every about 500 lines start with meta info + meta information for the users, etc. then there are the tweets in json (order of fields not stable) starting with a space, one tweet per line.

This is what I tried so far:

1. A simple data.replace('\'', '\"') is not possible, as the "text" fields contain tweets which may contain ' or " themselves.
2. Using regex, I was able to catch some of the instances, but it does not catch everything: re.compile(r'"[^"]*"(*SKIP)(*FAIL)|\'')
3. Using literal.eval(data) from the ast package also throws an error.

As the order of the fields and the legth for each field is not stable I am stuck on how to reformat that file in order to conform to JSON.

Normal sample line of the data (for this options one and two would work, but note that the tweets are also in non-english languages, which use " or ' in their tweets):

I'm trying to move some C# code to F# and I'm struggling to achive that in a specific method. Lack of how to Seq and Pipeline work properly when using reflection.

I am in the process of creating a bot that will compare the price of many items. In the list I have the price with some other information. However, I would like to sort e.g. this list

I am using jasperreports-6.14.0. As far as I can tell, there is only one way to add a custom hyperlink target to anything that allows hyperlinks. Please tell me there is a better way (other than putting javascript into my reference expression).

1. Implement the net.sf.jasperreports.engine.export.JRHyperlinkTargetProducer interface, looking in the hyperlink parameters for a specific, named parameter to return as your target string.
2. Extend net.sf.jasperreports.engine.export.HtmlExporter and set its targetProducerFactory protected field as an instance of your new custom hyperlink target producer.

It looks like this is the only option, but it just feels like there should be a way to skip step 2 by just setting the targetProducerFactory. It's almost like the Jasper devs started to do exactly that and thought "Nah, I just don't feel right about that. Let's take it out."

I am going to do the above unless some kind soul can show me a better way.

Using the command echo "Jiro. Inagaki' & Soul, Media_Breeze." | tr -d '[:punct:]' prints the string "Jiro Inagaki Soul MediaBreeze".

However, I want to find a regular expression that will remove all punctuation except the underscore and ampersand i.e. I want "Jiro Inagaki & Soul Media_Breeze".

Following advice on character class subtraction from the sources listed at the bottom, I've tried replacing [:punct:] with the following:

• [\p{P}\-[&_]]
• [[:punct:]-[&_]]
• (?![\&_])\p{P}
• (?![\&_])[:punct:]
• [[:punct:]-[&_]]
• [[:punct:]&&[&_]]
• [[:punct:]&&[^&_]]

... but I haven't gotten anything to work so far. Any help would be much appreciated!

I am using lxml and beautifulsoup library, actually my goal is to translate text of the specific tags out of the whole html code, what I want is, I want to replace the text of specific tags with the translated text.

I want to set a loop for the specific xpath in which all the translated text should be inserted one after another. And the html code should be returned with the translated version.

Am building a movies App where i have list of posters loaded using TMDB using infinite_scroll_pagination 3.0.1+1 library. First set of data loads good but after scrolling and before loading second set of data i get the following Exception.

I'm new to Python and programming in general so have mercy on my soul please. The question is:

Write code to assign the string "You can apply to SI!" to output if the string "SI 106" is in the list courses. If it is not in courses, assign the value "Take SI 106!" to the variable output.

I figured it out

This was the missing piece. Once I clean up my code, I'll post an answer so that hopefully the next poor soul that has to deal with this will not have to go through the same hell I went through ;)
