How to save a playground content in a local file ?

by Rene Paul Mages (ramix)

Hello, To save the content of my playground (in my local hard disk) my procedure is really ~rustic~ { selection , copy , paste }. Is there an adhoc menu dedicated to this backup-action ? Nota Bene : I am working with Pharo 8.0.0 -- Thanks for your help. Rene Paul Mages ( GnuPG_key 0x9840A6F7 ) http://www.pharo.fr http://www.linux-azur.org/ramix http://twitter.com/RenePaulMages

Hi Guille, Thanks for the feedback. It's an excellent idea. I'm going to add the link in the bot in \help or \start. Saludos, Pablo.

[ANN] P3 version 1.3

by Sven Van Caekenberghe

Hi, There is a new release of P3, the modern, lean and mean PostgreSQL client for Pharo. https://github.com/svenvc/P3 Version 1.3 contains the following changes: - Add object logging, see the P3LogEvent hierarchy - Added P3ConnectionPool with tests - Better management of prepared statements - Add support for Chronology objects Time, Date and DateAndTime to be used directly as binding arguments for formatted/prepared statements, with tests - Added basic support for array based parameter binding, see P3ValuesArray and #printValuesArrayOn: - Better documentation and fallback for session/connection timezone and character encoder/decoder - Reimplementation of P3Error adding unique codes and #isLocal as opposed to PostreSQL server generated messages; signalling now happens with instances created by class side accessors - Bring back P3Client>>#queryEncoding as an alias for P3Client>>#serverEncoding as compatibility support for PharoDatabaseAccessor - Add P3DatabaseDriver>>#connectSSL: - Various cleanups and internal improvements https://github.com/svenvc/P3/releases/tag/v1.3 The quality of open source software is determined by it being alive, supported and maintained. The first way to help is to simply use P3 in your projects and report back about your successes and the issues that you encounter. You can ask questions on the Pharo mailing lists. I want to thank all contributors and users for their help and feedback: you make a real difference. Since the end of last year, I have been using P3 in a real commercial production context, processing 10.000s of inserts a day and successfully supporting a web application for consulting the data. Enjoy, Sven -- Sven Van Caekenberghe Proudly supporting Pharo http://pharo.org http://association.pharo.org http://consortium.pharo.org

Re: where are the nills come from and how do I get rid of them

by jtuchel＠objektfabrik.de

Roelof, I guess your are taking about what you see in the inspector... There is nothing to worry about. Try inspecting wordBag asOrderedCollection and see if there are still nils. Or ask the Bad for occurencesOf: nil. It is completely normal to see nils in an Inspector on a Set or Bag. Has to do with internals of Set's and Bag's. These nils are there, but not for you ;-) Joachim Am 21.09.20 um 08:16 schrieb Roelof Wobben via Pharo-users: > Hello, > > I have to make a word count from a sentence so I did this : > > countWordsSentence: aString > Â Â Â | splitted result | > Â Â Â splitted := aString splitOn: [ :each | ', ' includes: each ]. > Â Â Â result := splitted > Â Â Â Â Â Â inject: Bag new > Â Â Â Â Â Â into: [ :wordBag :word | > Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â wordBag > Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â add: word; > Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â yourself ]. > Â Â Â ^ result valuesAndCounts > > but now I see that the Bag is containing nills. > I tried to delete them by doing this :Â Â cleaned := result reject: > [:each | each isNil] > > but to my surprise the nills are still there, > Why is that happening and what is the best way to delete them ? > > Roelof > -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Objektfabrik Joachim Tuchel mailto:jtuchel@objektfabrik.de Fliederweg 1 http://www.objektfabrik.de D-71640 Ludwigsburg http://joachimtuchel.wordpress.com Telefon: +49 7141 56 10 86 0 Fax: +49 7141 56 10 86 1

where are the nills come from and how do I get rid of them

by Roelof Wobben

Hello, I have to make a word count from a sentence so I did this : countWordsSentence: aString Â Â Â | splitted result | Â Â Â splitted := aString splitOn: [ :each | ', ' includes: each ]. Â Â Â result := splitted Â Â Â Â Â Â inject: Bag new Â Â Â Â Â Â into: [ :wordBag :word | Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â wordBag Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â add: word; Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â yourself ]. Â Â Â ^ result valuesAndCounts but now I see that the Bag is containing nills. I tried to delete them by doing this :Â Â cleaned := result reject: [:each | each isNil] but to my surprise the nills are still there, Why is that happening and what is the best way to delete them ?

Re: roman numbers

by Richard O'Keefe

This is a problem where the only data structures you need, other than the integer you are encoding and the string you are building, is a small number of array literals. Here is pseudo-code. If self is negative, emit a negative sign. If self is zero, emit N and finish. Let n be the absolute value of self. Emit M (n//1000) times -- use #next:put: Encode n // 100 \\ 10 using M D C. Encode n // 10 \\ 10 using C L X. Encode n \\10 using X V I To encode a digit using x v i, write the characters of #('' 'i' 'ii' 'iii' 'iv' 'v' 'vi' 'vii' 'viii' 'ix' 'x') at the digit + 1 (use #nextPutAll:). I have checked this pseudocode by writing #asRomanPrintString (2 lines including header) calling #asRomanPrintOn: (9 lines including header) and verified that each number from -4000 to +4000 gets the same result from #printStringRoman and #asRomanPrintString (except 0, which Pharo gets wrong). Now we *could* do the "encode a digit" using smaller or no tables, but it would take more code. In this case we can check that the right output for a digit is produced just by LOOKING at the table, rather than by checking complicated code.

Telegram Bots with Pharo

by Pablo Navarro

Hi everyone, I share a tool for creatingÂ telegramÂ Bots with Pharo. This library provides an interface for theÂ Telegram Bot API. To create our telegram bot in Pharo, the first thing we need to do is to create a new object that inherits from Bottlegram. This object must define at least these three methods: â¢ slashStart: to be executed when the bot receives /start. â¢ slashHelp: to be executed when the bot receives /help. â¢ defaultText: to be executed when the bot receives an unknown command. The tool allows creating bots using two methods: â¢ Using polling: the bot check updates for an amount of time. â¢ Using webhook: Use this method to create a Teapot server to receive incoming updates via an outgoing webhook. Whenever there is an update for the bot, we received an HTTPS POST request to the specified URL Github link:Â https://github.com/pablo1n7/bottlegram If you use Telegram, do you test an echo bot inÂ https://t.me/echo_pharo_bot Saludos, Pablo.
