Regular expression to separate arguments in functions - c#

I can't deal with a regular expression to separate the argument from function.
The function takes arguments in following way:
FunctionName(arg1;arg2;...;argn)
Now to make the rest of my code work I need to do the following-put every argument in ():
FunctionName((arg1);(arg2);(arg3))
The problem is that the arg can be anything- a number, an operator, other function
The test code for the solution is:
The function before regexp:
Function1((a1^5-4)/2;1/sin(a2);a3;a4)+Function2(a1;a2;1/a3)
After i needd to get sth like this:
Function1(((a1^5-4)/2);(1/sin(a2));(a3);(a4))+Function2((a1);(a2);(1/a3))

Unless I'm missing something, isn't it as simple as replacing ; with );( and surrounding the whole thing in ( ) ?

Using Regex:
(?:([^;()]+);?)+
and LINQ:
string result = "FunctionName(" +
String.Join(";",
from Capture capture in
Regex.Matches(inputString, #"FunctionName\((?:([^;()]+);?)+\)")[0].Groups[1].
Captures
select "(" + capture.Value + ")") + ")";

This is a far cry from a Regex but the potential for nested functions combined with the fact that this is a structured language being modified that a lexer/parser scheme is more appropriate.
Here is an example of a system that processes things of this nature
First, we define something that can be located in the input (the expression to modify)
public interface ISourcePart
{
/// <summary>
/// Gets the string representation of the kind of thing we're working with
/// </summary>
string Kind { get; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets the position this information is found at in the original source
/// </summary>
int Position { get; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets a representation of this data as Token objects
/// </summary>
/// <returns>An array of Token objects representing the data</returns>
Token[] AsTokens();
}
Next, we'll define a construct for housing tokens (identifiable portions of the source text)
public class Token : ISourcePart
{
public int Position { get; set; }
public Token[] AsTokens()
{
return new[] {this};
}
public string Kind { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the value of the token
/// </summary>
public string Value { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Creates a new Token
/// </summary>
/// <param name="kind">The kind (name) of the token</param>
/// <param name="match">The Match the token is to be generated from</param>
/// <param name="index">The offset from the beginning of the file the index of the match is relative to</param>
/// <returns>The newly created token</returns>
public static Token Create(string kind, Match match, int index)
{
return new Token
{
Position = match.Index + index,
Kind = kind,
Value = match.Value
};
}
/// <summary>
/// Creates a new Token
/// </summary>
/// <param name="kind">The kind (name) of the token</param>
/// <param name="value">The value to assign to the token</param>
/// <param name="position">The absolute position in the source file the value is located at</param>
/// <returns>The newly created token</returns>
public static Token Create(string kind, string value, int position)
{
return new Token
{
Kind = kind,
Value = value,
Position = position
};
}
}
We'll use Regexes to find our tokens in this example (below - Excerpt from Program.cs in my demo project).
/// <summary>
/// Breaks an input string into recognizable tokens
/// </summary>
/// <param name="source">The input string to break up</param>
/// <returns>The set of tokens located within the string</returns>
static IEnumerable<Token> Tokenize(string source)
{
var tokens = new List<Token>();
var sourceParts = new[] { new KeyValuePair<string, int>(source, 0) };
tokens.AddRange(Tokenize(OpenParen, "\\(", ref sourceParts));
tokens.AddRange(Tokenize(CloseParen, "\\)", ref sourceParts));
tokens.AddRange(Tokenize(Semi, ";", ref sourceParts));
tokens.AddRange(Tokenize(Operator, "[\\^\\\\*\\+\\-/]", ref sourceParts));
tokens.AddRange(Tokenize(Literal, "\\w+", ref sourceParts));
return tokens.OrderBy(x => x.Position);
}
As you can see, I've defined patterns for open and close parenthesis, semicolons, basic math operators and letters and numbers.
The Tokenize method is defined as follows (again from Program.cs in my demo project)
/// <summary>
/// Performs tokenization of a collection of non-tokenized data parts with a specific pattern
/// </summary>
/// <param name="tokenKind">The name to give the located tokens</param>
/// <param name="pattern">The pattern to use to match the tokens</param>
/// <param name="untokenizedParts">The portions of the input that have yet to be tokenized (organized as text vs. position in source)</param>
/// <returns>The set of tokens matching the given pattern located in the untokenized portions of the input, <paramref name="untokenizedParts"/> is updated as a result of this call</returns>
static IEnumerable<Token> Tokenize(string tokenKind, string pattern, ref KeyValuePair<string, int>[] untokenizedParts)
{
//Do a bit of setup
var resultParts = new List<KeyValuePair<string, int>>();
var resultTokens = new List<Token>();
var regex = new Regex(pattern);
//Look through all of our currently untokenized data
foreach (var part in untokenizedParts)
{
//Find all of our available matches
var matches = regex.Matches(part.Key).OfType<Match>().ToList();
//If we don't have any, keep the data as untokenized and move to the next chunk
if (matches.Count == 0)
{
resultParts.Add(part);
continue;
}
//Store the untokenized data in a working copy and save the absolute index it reported itself at in the source file
var workingPart = part.Key;
var index = part.Value;
//Look through each of the matches that were found within this untokenized segment
foreach (var match in matches)
{
//Calculate the effective start of the match within the working copy of the data
var effectiveStart = match.Index - (part.Key.Length - workingPart.Length);
resultTokens.Add(Token.Create(tokenKind, match, part.Value));
//If we didn't match at the beginning, save off the first portion to the set of untokenized data we'll give back
if (effectiveStart > 0)
{
var value = workingPart.Substring(0, effectiveStart);
resultParts.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, int>(value, index));
}
//Get rid of the portion of the working copy we've already used
if (match.Index + match.Length < part.Key.Length)
{
workingPart = workingPart.Substring(effectiveStart + match.Length);
}
else
{
workingPart = string.Empty;
}
//Update the current absolute index in the source file we're reporting to be at
index += effectiveStart + match.Length;
}
//If we've got remaining data in the working copy, add it back to the untokenized data
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(workingPart))
{
resultParts.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, int>(workingPart, index));
}
}
//Update the untokenized data to contain what we couldn't process with this pattern
untokenizedParts = resultParts.ToArray();
//Return the tokens we were able to extract
return resultTokens;
}
Now that we've got the methods and types in place to handle our tokenized data, we need to be able to recognize pieces of larger meaning, like calls to simple functions (like sin(x)), complex functions (like Function1(a1;a2;a3)), basic mathematical operations (like +, -, *, etc.), and so on. We'll make a simple parser for dealing with that; firstly we'll define a match condition for a parse node.
public class ParseNodeDefinition
{
/// <summary>
/// The set of parse node definitions that could be transitioned to from this one
/// </summary>
private readonly IList<ParseNodeDefinition> _nextNodeOptions;
/// <summary>
/// Creates a new ParseNodeDefinition
/// </summary>
private ParseNodeDefinition()
{
_nextNodeOptions = new List<ParseNodeDefinition>();
}
/// <summary>
/// Gets whether or not this definition is an acceptable ending point for the parse tree
/// </summary>
public bool IsValidEnd { get; private set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets the name an item must have for it to be matched by this definition
/// </summary>
public string MatchItemsNamed { get; private set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets the set of parse node definitions that could be transitioned to from this one
/// </summary>
public IEnumerable<ParseNodeDefinition> NextNodeOptions
{
get { return _nextNodeOptions; }
}
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the tag that will be associated with the data if matched
/// </summary>
public string Tag { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Creates a new ParseNodeDefinition matching items with the specified name/kind.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="matchItemsNamed">The name of the item to be matched</param>
/// <param name="tag">The tag to associate with matched items</param>
/// <param name="isValidEnd">Whether or not the element is a valid end to the parse tree</param>
/// <returns>A ParseNodeDefinition capable of matching items of the given name</returns>
public static ParseNodeDefinition Create(string matchItemsNamed, string tag, bool isValidEnd)
{
return new ParseNodeDefinition { MatchItemsNamed = matchItemsNamed, Tag = tag, IsValidEnd = isValidEnd };
}
public ParseNodeDefinition AddOption(string matchItemsNamed)
{
return AddOption(matchItemsNamed, string.Empty, false);
}
public ParseNodeDefinition AddOption(string matchItemsNamed, string tag)
{
return AddOption(matchItemsNamed, tag, false);
}
/// <summary>
/// Adds an option for a named node to follow this one in the parse tree the node is a part of
/// </summary>
/// <param name="matchItemsNamed">The name of the item to be matched</param>
/// <param name="tag">The tag to associate with matched items</param>
/// <param name="isValidEnd">Whether or not the element is a valid end to the parse tree</param>
/// <returns>The ParseNodeDefinition that has been added</returns>
public ParseNodeDefinition AddOption(string matchItemsNamed, string tag, bool isValidEnd)
{
var node = Create(matchItemsNamed, tag, isValidEnd);
_nextNodeOptions.Add(node);
return node;
}
public ParseNodeDefinition AddOption(string matchItemsNamed, bool isValidEnd)
{
return AddOption(matchItemsNamed, string.Empty, isValidEnd);
}
/// <summary>
/// Links the given node as an option for a state to follow this one in the parse tree this node is a part of
/// </summary>
/// <param name="next">The node to add as an option</param>
public void LinkTo(ParseNodeDefinition next)
{
_nextNodeOptions.Add(next);
}
}
This will let us match a single element by name (whether it's a ParseTree defined later) or a Token as they both implement the ISourcePart interface. Next we'll make a ParseTreeDefinition that allows us to specify sequences of ParseNodeDefinitions for matching.
public class ParseTreeDefinition
{
/// <summary>

private readonly IList<ParseNodeDefinition> _initialNodeOptions;

private static bool FollowBranch(IList<ISourcePart> parts, int startIndex, ParseNodeDefinition required, ICollection<ParseNode> nodes)
{
if (parts[startIndex].Kind != required.MatchItemsNamed)
{
return false;
}
nodes.Add(new ParseNode(parts[startIndex], required.Tag));
return parts.Count > (startIndex + 1) && required.NextNodeOptions.Any(x => FollowBranch(parts, startIndex + 1, x, nodes)) || required.IsValidEnd;
}

public bool Parse(ref IList<ISourcePart> parts)
{
var partsCopy = parts.ToList();
for (var i = 0; i < parts.Count; ++i)
{
var tree = new List<ParseNode>();
if (InitialNodeOptions.Any(x => FollowBranch(partsCopy, i, x, tree)))
{
partsCopy.RemoveRange(i, tree.Count);
partsCopy.Insert(i, new ParseTree(Name, tree.ToArray(), tree[0].Position));
parts = partsCopy;
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
Of course these don't do us much good without having some place to store the results of the matchers we've defined so far, so let's define ParseTree and ParseNode where a ParseTree is simply a collection of ParseNode objects where ParseNode is a wrapper around a ParseTree or Token (or more generically any ISourcePart).
public class ParseTree : ISourcePart
{
/// <summary>
/// Creates a new ParseTree
/// </summary>
/// <param name="kind">The kind (name) of tree this is</param>
/// <param name="nodes">The nodes the tree matches</param>
/// <param name="position">The position in the source file this tree is located at</param>
public ParseTree(string kind, IEnumerable<ISourcePart> nodes, int position)
{
Kind = kind;
ParseNodes = nodes.ToList();
Position = position;
}
public string Kind { get; private set; }
public int Position { get; private set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets the nodes that make up this parse tree
/// </summary>
public IList<ISourcePart> ParseNodes { get; internal set; }
public Token[] AsTokens()
{
return ParseNodes.SelectMany(x => x.AsTokens()).ToArray();
}
}
public class ParseNode : ISourcePart
{
/// <summary>
/// Creates a new ParseNode
/// </summary>
/// <param name="sourcePart">The data that was matched to create this node</param>
/// <param name="tag">The tag data (if any) associated with the node</param>
public ParseNode(ISourcePart sourcePart, string tag)
{
SourcePart = sourcePart;
Tag = tag;
}
public string Kind { get { return SourcePart.Kind; } }
/// <summary>
/// Gets the tag associated with the matched data
/// </summary>
public string Tag { get; private set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets the data that was matched to create this node
/// </summary>
public ISourcePart SourcePart { get; private set; }
public int Position { get { return SourcePart.Position; } }
public Token[] AsTokens()
{
return SourcePart.AsTokens();
}
}
That's it for the constructs we need, so we'll move into configuring our parse tree definitions. The code from here on is from Program.cs in my demo.
As you might have noticed in the block above about declaring the patterns for each token, there were some values referenced but not defined, here they are.
private const string CloseParen = "CloseParen";
private const string ComplexFunctionCall = "ComplexFunctionCall";
private const string FunctionCallStart = "FunctionCallStart";
private const string Literal = "Literal";
private const string OpenParen = "OpenParen";
private const string Operator = "Operator";
private const string ParenthesisRequiredElement = "ParenthesisRequiredElement";
private const string ParenthesizedItem = "ParenthesizedItem";
private const string Semi = "Semi";
private const string SimpleFunctionCall = "SimpleFunctionCall";
Let's begin by defining a pattern that matches literals (\w+ pattern) that are followed by open parenthesis; we'll use this to match things like sin( or Function1(.
static ParseTreeDefinition CreateFunctionCallStartTree()
{
var tree = new ParseTreeDefinition(FunctionCallStart);
var name = tree.AddOption(Literal);
name.AddOption(OpenParen, true);
return tree;
}
Really not a whole lot to it, setup a tree, add an option for the first thing to match as a Literal, add an option of the next thing to match as an open parenthesis and say that it can end the parse tree.
Now for one that's a little more complex, binary mathematical operations (couldn't think of any unary operations that would need to be included)
static ParseTreeDefinition CreateBinaryOperationResultTree()
{
var tree = new ParseTreeDefinition(Literal);
var parenthesizedItem = tree.AddOption(ParenthesizedItem);
var literal = tree.AddOption(Literal);
var simpleCall = tree.AddOption(SimpleFunctionCall);
var complexCall = tree.AddOption(ComplexFunctionCall);
var #operator = parenthesizedItem.AddOption(Operator);
literal.LinkTo(#operator);
simpleCall.LinkTo(#operator);
complexCall.LinkTo(#operator);
#operator.AddOption(ParenthesizedItem, true);
#operator.AddOption(Literal, true);
#operator.AddOption(SimpleFunctionCall, true);
#operator.AddOption(ComplexFunctionCall, true);
return tree;
}
Here we say that the parse tree can start with a parenthesized item (like (1/2)), a literal (like a5 or 3), a simple call (like sin(4)) or a complex one (like Function1(a1;a2;a3)). In essence we've just defined the options for the left hand operand. Next, we say that the parenthesized item must be followed by an Operator (one of the mathematical operators from the pattern declared way up at the beginning) and, for convenience, we'll say that all of the other options for the left hand operand can progress to that same state (having the operator). Next, the operator must have a right hand side as well, so we give it a duplicate set of options to progress to. Note that they are not the same definitions as the left hand operands, these have the flag set to be able to terminate the parse tree. Notice that the parse tree is named Literal to avoid having to specify yet another kind of element to match all over the place.
Next up, parenthesized items:
static ParseTreeDefinition CreateParenthesizedItemTree()
{
var tree = new ParseTreeDefinition(ParenthesizedItem);
var openParen = tree.AddOption(OpenParen);
var nestedSimpleCall = openParen.AddOption(SimpleFunctionCall);
var nestedComplexCall = openParen.AddOption(ComplexFunctionCall);
var arg = openParen.AddOption(Literal);
var parenthesizedItem = openParen.AddOption(ParenthesizedItem);
var closeParen = nestedSimpleCall.AddOption(CloseParen, true);
arg.LinkTo(closeParen);
parenthesizedItem.LinkTo(closeParen);
nestedComplexCall.LinkTo(closeParen);
return tree;
}
Nice and easy with this one, start with a parenthesis, follow it up with pretty much anything, follow that with another parenthesis to close it.
Simple calls (like sin(x))
static ParseTreeDefinition CreateSimpleFunctionCallTree()
{
var tree = new ParseTreeDefinition(SimpleFunctionCall);
var openParen = tree.AddOption(FunctionCallStart);
var nestedItem = openParen.AddOption(ParenthesizedItem);
var nestedSimpleCall = openParen.AddOption(SimpleFunctionCall);
var nestedComplexCall = openParen.AddOption(ComplexFunctionCall);
var arg = openParen.AddOption(Literal);
var parenthesizedItem = openParen.AddOption(ParenthesizedItem);
var closeParen = nestedSimpleCall.AddOption(CloseParen, true);
arg.LinkTo(closeParen);
nestedItem.LinkTo(closeParen);
parenthesizedItem.LinkTo(closeParen);
nestedComplexCall.LinkTo(closeParen);
return tree;
}
Complex calls (like Function1(a1;a2;a3))
static ParseTreeDefinition CreateComplexFunctionCallTree()
{
var tree = new ParseTreeDefinition(ComplexFunctionCall);
var openParen = tree.AddOption(FunctionCallStart);
var arg = openParen.AddOption(Literal, ParenthesisRequiredElement);
var simpleCall = openParen.AddOption(SimpleFunctionCall, ParenthesisRequiredElement);
var complexCall = openParen.AddOption(ComplexFunctionCall, ParenthesisRequiredElement);
var nested = openParen.AddOption(ParenthesizedItem);
var semi = arg.AddOption(Semi);
simpleCall.LinkTo(semi);
complexCall.LinkTo(semi);
nested.LinkTo(semi);
var arg2 = semi.AddOption(Literal, ParenthesisRequiredElement);
var simpleCall2 = semi.AddOption(SimpleFunctionCall, ParenthesisRequiredElement);
var complexCall2 = semi.AddOption(ComplexFunctionCall, ParenthesisRequiredElement);
var nested2 = semi.AddOption(ParenthesizedItem);
arg2.LinkTo(semi);
simpleCall2.LinkTo(semi);
complexCall2.LinkTo(semi);
nested2.LinkTo(semi);
var closeParen = arg2.AddOption(CloseParen, true);
arg2.LinkTo(closeParen);
simpleCall2.LinkTo(closeParen);
complexCall2.LinkTo(closeParen);
return tree;
}
That's all the trees we'll need, so let's take a look at the code that runs this all
static void Main()
{
//The input string
const string input = #"Function1((a1^5-4)/2;1/sin(a2);a3;a4)+Function2(a1;a2;1/a3)";
//Locate the recognizable tokens within the source
IList<ISourcePart> tokens = Tokenize(input).Cast<ISourcePart>().ToList();
//Create the parse trees we'll need to be able to recognize the different parts of the input
var functionCallStartTree = CreateFunctionCallStartTree();
var parenthethesizedItemTree = CreateParenthesizedItemTree();
var simpleFunctionCallTree = CreateSimpleFunctionCallTree();
var complexFunctionCallTree = CreateComplexFunctionCallTree();
var binaryOpTree = CreateBinaryOperationResultTree();
//Parse until we can't parse anymore
while (functionCallStartTree.Parse(ref tokens) || binaryOpTree.Parse(ref tokens) || parenthethesizedItemTree.Parse(ref tokens) || simpleFunctionCallTree.Parse(ref tokens) || complexFunctionCallTree.Parse(ref tokens))
{ }
//Run our post processing to fix the parenthesis in the input
FixParenthesis(ref tokens);
//Collapse our parse tree(s) back to a string
var values = tokens.OrderBy(x => x.Position).SelectMany(x => x.AsTokens()).Select(x => x.Value);
//Print out our results and wait
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(string.Empty, values));
Console.ReadLine();
}
The only thing we've got left to define is how to actually do the wrapping of the elements in the argument list of a "complex" call. That's handled by the FixParenthesis method.
private static void FixParenthesis(ref IList<ISourcePart> items)
{
//Iterate through the set we're examining
for (var i = 0; i < items.Count; ++i)
{
var parseNode = items[i] as ParseNode;
//If we've got a parse node...
if (parseNode != null)
{
var nodeTree = parseNode.SourcePart as ParseTree;
//If the parse node represents a parse tree...
if (nodeTree != null)
{
//Fix parenthesis within the tree
var nodes = nodeTree.ParseNodes;
FixParenthesis(ref nodes);
nodeTree.ParseNodes = nodes;
}
//If this parse node required parenthesis, replace the subtree and add them
if (parseNode.Tag == ParenthesisRequiredElement)
{
var nodeContents = parseNode.AsTokens();
var combined = string.Join(string.Empty, nodeContents.OrderBy(x => x.Position).Select(x => x.Value));
items[i] = Token.Create(parseNode.Kind, string.Format("({0})", combined), parseNode.Position);
}
continue;
}
var parseTree = items[i] as ParseTree;
//If we've got a parse tree...
if (parseTree != null)
{
//Fix parenthesis within the tree
var nodes = parseTree.ParseNodes;
FixParenthesis(ref nodes);
parseTree.ParseNodes = nodes;
}
}
}
At any rate, I hope this has helped or at least provided a fun diversion.

I probably managed to deal with it(now testing). It turned out to be 5-stage operation. Assuming that '{' and ';' cannot occur in function I've done sth like this:
sBuffer = Regex.Replace(sBuffer, #"(?<sep>[;])", "};{");
sBuffer = Regex.Replace(sBuffer, #"([(])(?<arg>.+?)[}]", "({${arg}}");
sBuffer = Regex.Replace(sBuffer, #"([;])(?<arg>.+?)([)]){1}", ";${arg}})");
sBuffer = Regex.Replace(sBuffer, #"{", "(");
sBuffer = Regex.Replace(sBuffer, #"}", ")");
0.
function1((a1^5-4)/2;1/sin(a2);a3;a4)+function2(a1;a2;1/a3)'
1.First line replaces ; with };{
function1((a1^5-4)/2};{1/sin(a2)};{a3};{a4)+function2(a1};{a2};{1/a3)
2.For first argument - after ( or (not intended) arguments which contain ')' replace (arg};with ({arg}:
function1({(a1^5-4)/2};{1/sin({a2)};{a3};{a4)+function2({a1};{a2};{1/a3)
3. The same at the and of function: {arg) with {arg}:
function1({(a1^5-4)/2};{1/sin({a2})};{a3};{a4})+function2({a1};{a2};{1/a3})
4.5. Replace '{' and '}' with '(' ')':
function1(((a1^5-4)/2);(1/sin((a2)));(a3);(a4))+function2((a1);(a2);(1/a3))
We have some extra () specially when argument itself is surrounded by '(' ')' (nested function) but it doesn't metter as the code is then proceed by Reversed Polish Notation
This is my first code for regexp(I found out about rgexp just few days ago- I'm a beginer) . I hope it's satisfies all the cases (at least those that can occur in excel formulas)

Correct usage of ReadOnlySequence<T> on implementing ReadOnlySequenceSegment<T>

I'm trying to implement a network library to complete my from scratch library Astron since a few days and I have a few questions. In order to handle Nagle correctly, I must have a frame parsing logic. So while doing that using the new pipeline API I noticed that output was provided as a read-only sequence, therefore I had to make a custom SequenceReader but I'm having some problems while testing it. I think I've misunderstood the new Span<T> and Memory<T> API :/
Is it relevant to mock the sequence segment?
In order to test as many behaviors as possible, I had to implement the ReadOnlySequenceSegment<T> abstract class, which I did using the Moq library to know when the next segment has been getting, here it is :
public class SequenceSegment : ReadOnlySequenceSegment<byte>
{
private readonly Mock<SequenceSegment> _mock;
private ReadOnlySequenceSegment<byte> _next;
public new ReadOnlySequenceSegment<byte> Next
{
get
{
var mockNext = _mock.Object.Next; // simulate get from the mock
return _next;
}
protected set => _next = value;
}
public SequenceSegment(ReadOnlyMemory<byte> memory)
{
Memory = memory;
_mock = new Mock<SequenceSegment>(memory);
}
public SequenceSegment Add(ReadOnlyMemory<byte> mem)
{
var segment = new SequenceSegment(mem)
{
RunningIndex = RunningIndex + Memory.Length
};
Next = segment;
return segment;
}
public void VerifyGetNext() => _mock.VerifyGet(ss => ss.Next);
}
As you can see I had to override the Next property with the new keyword which is a bad practice but I assume while testing it's fine?
Here is the test that doesn't pass :
[Fact]
public void TryRead_ShouldReturnTrue_OnSegmentSplitted()
{
var buffer = _createBuffer(); // int + int = 8bytes buffer
var firstSegment = new SequenceSegment(buffer.Slice(0, 3));
var secondSegment = firstSegment.Add(buffer.Slice(3, 5));
var input = new ReadOnlySequence<byte>(
firstSegment, 0,
secondSegment, 4);
var reader = new SequenceReader(input);
reader.TryRead(BinaryPrimitives.ReadInt32LittleEndian, out var firstValue); // throw here
reader.TryRead(BinaryPrimitives.ReadInt32LittleEndian, out var secondValue);
Assert.Equal(_firstValue, firstValue);
Assert.Equal(_secondValue, secondValue);
firstSegment.VerifyGetNext();
}
Test output :
Message: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException : Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: start
I commented the line that throws the exception on the test, so I assume my sequence logic is okay? Let's see the code of my SequenceReader with the line that throws commented :
public class SequenceReader
{
private const int _maxStackalloc = 128;
protected ReadOnlySequence<byte> _input;
public SequenceReader(ReadOnlySequence<byte> input) => _input = input;
public delegate T ReadDelegate<out T>(ReadOnlySpan<byte> src);
/// <summary>

/// <param name="result">The result returned.</param>
/// <returns>Returns true if the read was successful, else returns false.</returns>
public unsafe bool TryRead<T>(ReadDelegate<T> read, out T result) where T : unmanaged
{
result = default;
var size = sizeof(T);
if (size > _maxStackalloc) return false;
if (size > _input.Length) return false;
if (_input.First.Length >= size)
result = read(_input.First.Span);
else
{
Span<byte> local = stackalloc byte[size];
_input.Slice(size).CopyTo(local); // throws at the slice
result = read(local);
}
_input = _input.Slice(size);
return true;
}
}
I already tried to change the line to _input.Slice(0, size) but nothing changed, also not on this successful test :
[Fact]
public void TryRead_ShouldReturnTrue_OnSegmentComplete()
{
var input = new ReadOnlySequence<byte>(_createBuffer());
var reader = new SequenceReader(input);
reader.TryRead(BinaryPrimitives.ReadInt32LittleEndian, out var firstValue);
reader.TryRead(BinaryPrimitives.ReadInt32LittleEndian, out var secondValue);
Assert.Equal(_firstValue, firstValue);
Assert.Equal(_secondValue, secondValue);
}
I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong, please if you have any idea it'd be awesome if you can help me!

How do I count number of characters into webbrowser control C#?

Using a webbrowser control. I'd like to count the number of characters into webbrowser, just like textchange of Textbox class. I just want to count the number of characters in the text that display WebBrowser no html, no images, etc.Any idea about how simulate the behavior of textbox which trigger when change text displayed? Thanks
I'm developing Winforms in C#. No ASP.NET.
Add the following class:
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
namespace CK.TicketSystem.Shared
{
public static class HtmlUtils
{
public static bool IsHtmlFragment(string value)
{
return Regex.IsMatch(value, #"");
}
/// <summary>

/// </summary>
/// <param name="value"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static string RemoveTags(string value)
{
if (value != null)
{
value = CleanHtmlComments(value);
value = CleanHtmlBehaviour(value);
value = Regex.Replace(value, #"</[^>]+?>", " ");
value = Regex.Replace(value, #"<[^>]+?>", "");
value = value.Trim();
}
return value;
}
/// <summary>
/// Clean script and styles html tags and content
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>
public static string CleanHtmlBehaviour(string value)
{
value = Regex.Replace(value, "(<style.+?</style>)|(<script.+?</script>)", "", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.Singleline);
return value;
}
/// <summary>
/// Replace the html commens (also html ifs of msword).
/// </summary>
public static string CleanHtmlComments(string value)
{
//Remove disallowed html tags.
value = Regex.Replace(value, "<!--.+?-->", "", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.Singleline);
return value;
}
/// <summary>
/// Adds rel=nofollow to html anchors

public static string HtmlLinkAddNoFollow(string value)
{
return Regex.Replace(value, "<a[^>]+href=\"?'?(?!#[\\w-]+)([^'\">]+)\"?'?[^>]*>(.*?)</a>", "$2", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.Compiled);
}
}
}
I must say that I found this class in some really good developer's blog, but unfortunately I can not remember where I did find it.
Then you do:
var str = HtmlUtils.RemoveTags(yourHtmlString);
var numberOfCharacters = str.Length;
Hope it helps

ASP Web API Help pages - Link to class from XML <see> tag

I'm working on Developing a Web-API project, and i'm very impressed with the auto generated documentation by Microsoft's HelpPages.
i enabled custom documentation using the official site creating Help Pages
the documentation is generated successfully BUT none of the references to Classes from the <See cref=""> Tag seems to be added to the description, the HelpPages Simply ignores them (that's for a reason).
i really wanted to have this feature in my project, i searched a lot (got close sometimes) but none gave a convincing answer.
That's why i decided to post my solution to this tweak and hopefully benefit other programmers and spare them some time and effort.
(my answer is in the replies below)
my solution is the following:
you've got your custom documentation (from the generated xml file) working
enable HTML and XML tags within the documentation, they normally get filtered out, thanks this Post you can preserve them.
simply go to: ProjectName > Areas > HelpPage > XmlDocumentationProvider.cs
on line 123 in method: GetTagValue(XPathNavigator parentNode, string tagName)
change the code return node.Value.Trim(); to return node.InnerXml;
create the following partial view:
ProjectName\Areas\HelpPage\Views\Help**_XML_SeeTagsRenderer.cshtml**
this is my code:
#using System.Web.Http;
#using MyProject.Areas.HelpPage.Controllers;
#using MyProject.Areas.HelpPage;
#using MyProject.Areas.HelpPage.ModelDescriptions
#using System.Text.RegularExpressions
#model string
#{
int #index = 0;
string #xml = Model;
if (#xml == null)
#xml = "";
Regex #seeRegex = new Regex("<( *)see( +)cref=\"([^\"]):([^\"]+)\"( *)/>");//Regex("<see cref=\"T:([^\"]+)\" />");
Match #xmlSee = #seeRegex.Match(#xml);
string #typeAsText = "";
Type #tp;
ModelDescriptionGenerator modelDescriptionGenerator = (new HelpController()).Configuration.GetModelDescriptionGenerator();
}
#if (xml !="" && xmlSee != null && xmlSee.Length > 0)
{
while (xmlSee != null && xmlSee.Length > 0)
{
#MvcHtmlString.Create(#xml.Substring(#index, #xmlSee.Index - #index))
int startingIndex = xmlSee.Value.IndexOf(':')+1;
int endIndex = xmlSee.Value.IndexOf('"', startingIndex);
typeAsText = xmlSee.Value.Substring(startingIndex, endIndex - startingIndex); //.Replace("<see cref=\"T:", "").Replace("\" />", "");
System.Reflection.Assembly ThisAssembly = typeof(ThisProject.Controllers.HomeController).Assembly;
tp = ThisAssembly.GetType(#typeAsText);
if (tp == null)//try another referenced project
{
System.Reflection.Assembly externalAssembly = typeof(MyExternalReferncedProject.AnyClassInIt).Assembly;
tp = externalAssembly.GetType(#typeAsText);
}
if (tp == null)//also another referenced project- as needed
{
System.Reflection.Assembly anotherExtAssembly = typeof(MyExternalReferncedProject2.AnyClassInIt).Assembly;
tp = anotherExtAssembly .GetType(#typeAsText);
}
if(tp == null)//case of nested class
{
System.Reflection.Assembly thisAssembly = typeof(ThisProject.Controllers.HomeController).Assembly;
//the below code is done to support detecting nested classes.
var processedTypeString = typeAsText;
var lastIndexofPoint = typeAsText.LastIndexOf('.');
while (lastIndexofPoint > 0 && tp == null)
{
processedTypeString = processedTypeString.Insert(lastIndexofPoint, "+").Remove(lastIndexofPoint + 1, 1);
tp = SPLocatorBLLAssembly.GetType(processedTypeString);//nested class are recognized as: namespace.outerClass+nestedClass
lastIndexofPoint = processedTypeString.LastIndexOf('.');
}
}
if (#tp != null)
{
ModelDescription md = modelDescriptionGenerator.GetOrCreateModelDescription(tp);
#Html.DisplayFor(m => md.ModelType, "ModelDescriptionLink", new { modelDescription = md })
}
else
{
#MvcHtmlString.Create(#typeAsText)
}
index = xmlSee.Index + xmlSee.Length;
xmlSee = xmlSee.NextMatch();
}
#MvcHtmlString.Create(#xml.Substring(#index, #xml.Length - #index))
}
else
{
#MvcHtmlString.Create(#xml);
}
Finally Go to: ProjectName\Areas\HelpPage\Views\Help\DisplayTemplates**Parameters.cshtml**
at line '20' we have the code corresponding to the Description in the documentation.
REPLACE this:
<td class="parameter-documentation">
<p>
#parameter.Documentation
</p>
</td>
With THIS:
<td class="parameter-documentation">
<p>
#Html.Partial("_XML_SeeTagsRenderer", (#parameter.Documentation == null? "" : #parameter.Documentation.ToString()))
</p>
</td>
& Voila you must have it working now.
Notes:
i tried putting HTML list inside the docs and it rendered it fine
i tried multiple class references (multiple <see cref="MyClass"> and i worked fine
you can't refer to a class that is declared within a class
when you refer to a class that is outside the current project please add the assembly .getType of a class within that project (check my code above)
any un-found class found inside a <see cref> will have it's full name printed in the description (for example if you reference a property or namespace, the code won't identify it as a type/class but it will be printed)
I have implemented class which process xml documentation block and changes documentation tags to html tags.

To use it, you will need to change XmlDocumentationProvider class:
private static string GetTagValue(XPathNavigator parentNode, string tagName)
{
if (parentNode != null)
{
XPathNavigator node = parentNode.SelectSingleNode(tagName);
if (node != null)
{
return node.InnerXml;
}
}
return null;
}
And then I wrote extension class to use this class directly from view:
/// <summary>
/// Represents html help content extension class.
/// Contains methods to convert Xml help blocks to html string.
/// </summary>
public static class HtmlHelpContentExtensions
{
/// <summary>
/// Converts help block in xml format to html string with proper tags, links and etc.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="helpBlock">The help block content.</param>
/// <param name="urlHelper">The url helper for link building.</param>
/// <returns>The resulting html string.</returns>
public static HtmlString ToHelpContent(this string helpBlock, UrlHelper urlHelper)
{
// Initialize your rendrer here or take it from IoC
return renderer.RenderHelpBlock(helpBlock, urlHelper);
}
}
And finally, for example in Parameters.cshtml:
<td class="parameter-documentation">
<p>#parameter.Documentation.ToHelpContent(Url)</p>
#if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(parameter.Remarks))
{
<p>#parameter.Remarks.ToHelpContent(Url)</p>
}
</td>

I am trying to figure out where i can pass the parameter like my account username, password, developer token and access token to this function? Does anybody know how i can pass those info to this code? Thanks.
It seems to me, wildly guessing, the account, username and password are present in some secondary resource files not passed in as arguments, or typed into the program as input, but loaded automatically from some 'special' location by the Google API.
Do you, perhaps, have a PGP type keys downloaded from the AdWords program?
I know this getting old but you can pass parameter in your app.config/web.config
<add key="ClientCustomerId" value="insert your client customer id"/>
<add key="AuthorizationMethod" value="OAuth2"/>
<add key="OAuth2ClientId" value="insert oauth2 client id"/>
<add key="OAuth2ClientSecret" value="insert oauth client scret"/>
<add key="OAuth2RefreshToken" value="insert oauth2 refresh token"/>
all oauth2 value you can get from google API Manager

How to change XML Attribute

How can I change an attribute of an element in an XML file, using C#?
Mike;
Everytime I need to modify an XML document I work it this way:
//Here is the variable with which you assign a new value to the attribute
string newValue = string.Empty;
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.Load(xmlFile);
XmlNode node = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("Root/Node/Element");
node.Attributes[0].Value = newValue;
xmlDoc.Save(xmlFile);
//xmlFile is the path of your file to be modified
I hope you find it useful
Using LINQ to xml if you are using framework 3.5:
using System.Xml.Linq;
XDocument xmlFile = XDocument.Load("books.xml");
var query = from c in xmlFile.Elements("catalog").Elements("book")
select c;
foreach (XElement book in query)
{
book.Attribute("attr1").Value = "MyNewValue";
}
xmlFile.Save("books.xml");
If the attribute you want to change doesn't exist or has been accidentally removed, then an exception occurs. I suggest you first create a new attribute and send it to a function like the following:
private void SetAttrSafe(XmlNode node,params XmlAttribute[] attrList)
{
foreach (var attr in attrList)
{
if (node.Attributes[attr.Name] != null)
{
node.Attributes[attr.Name].Value = attr.Value;
}
else
{
node.Attributes.Append(attr);
}
}
}
Usage:
XmlAttribute attr = dom.CreateAttribute("name");
attr.Value = value;
SetAttrSafe(node, attr);
Here's the beginnings of a parser class to get you started. This ended up being my solution to a similar problem:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Xml.Linq;
namespace XML
{
public class Parser
{
private string _FilePath = string.Empty;
private XDocument _XML_Doc = null;
public Parser(string filePath)
{
_FilePath = filePath;
_XML_Doc = XDocument.Load(_FilePath);
}
