08:33:12FromDiscord<voidwalker> Is there a way to print an xmlNode structure recursively, like a tree ? I want to do html parsing but have no idea what I am looking for
08:38:15FromDiscord<chmod222> If you are going to be parsing HTML, I would rather be looking into dedicated HTML parser libraries. While HTML looks like XML on the surface, there are so many nastinesses that are valid HTML but invalid XML that covering the edge cases is not possible with a pure XML library
08:38:53FromDiscord<voidwalker> it's a very simple parse this time
08:39:38FromDiscord<voidwalker> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4wJP
08:39:43FromDiscord<voidwalker> I wanna get that `value`
08:40:27FromDiscord<voidwalker> I could get the same result with string find I guess, but I wanted to make it proper with htmlparse
08:40:39FromDiscord<chmod222> Should be simple enough for a handwritten parser if XmlNode fails you
08:41:01FromDiscord<voidwalker> It's not failing me, I just have no idea how to use it, I don't know XML
08:41:10FromDiscord<Ras> i think https://nim-lang.org/docs/parsexml.html#example-2colon-retrieve-all-html-links is more or less what you're looking for
08:41:25FromDiscord<Ras> replace `a` with `input` and `href` with `value` and stop at the first match, i guess
08:41:33FromDiscord<voidwalker> I'd like to print a representation of the xml tree so I can see what I need to get
08:41:58FromDiscord<chmod222> What does `$` give you?
08:42:12FromDiscord<chmod222> I believe it should print you the full parsed tree
08:42:21FromDiscord<voidwalker> it just prints the html again
08:42:32FromDiscord<Ras> as a side note, i've found treeform's `print` to be super useful when printing "unknown" structs etc

11:42:04PMunchNo problem :)
11:43:43ntatand is it the simple way to find one array in other?
11:45:37FromDiscord<voidwalker> well if the arrays are of the same type, which in your example are not (size 2 vs size 3 array of tuples), you would simply check with ==
11:52:30ntat<voidwalker> no, I'm just looking for ways to find a smaller array in a larger.
11:52:52FromDiscord<voidwalker> how do you define this in your example ?
11:53:07FromDiscord<voidwalker> how do you find a 2x2 array in a 4x3 array
11:58:03ntat<voidwalker> I I would like convert Image to array with tuples with (r,g,b) for any pixel. Eg. for picture 640x480 I want to have 640 tuples in every row and 480 tuples in any column :)

12:15:42PMunchvoidwalker, hmm interesting algorithm
12:16:26PMunchI've been looking at various string searching algorithms lately
12:16:43FromDiscord<voidwalker> Doesn't feel to be optimal for this scenario though
12:17:26PMunchActually just aborted a fairly misguided attempt at creating a bloom filter cache, by my calculations it would've taken just shy of 2000 years to complete :P
12:22:07ntatIn Python→PyAutoGui this function is called LocateOnScreen and it takes a screenshot and searches for another image in it.
12:22:22ntatI try to do this in Nim
12:26:01FromDiscord<Ras> In reply to @voidwalker "Should this POST request": body
12:26:28FromDiscord<voidwalker> yeah it's body, I noticed there must be content-type multipart in headers if it needs multipart
12:26:57FromDiscord<voidwalker> I think I got everything right, but now I am getting ` Connection was closed before full request has been made [ProtocolError]`
12:27:42FromDiscord<Ras> generally, the `Content-Type` header for that should be 😂
12:27:46FromDiscord<Ras> sorry, wrong clipboard
12:27:55FromDiscord<Ras> `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
12:28:10FromDiscord<voidwalker> `flLoginHeaders["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"↵`
12:28:14FromDiscord<voidwalker> this is what I have indeed
12:28:37FromDiscord<voidwalker> I copy pasted all the headers from firefox ;\
12:28:46FromDiscord<Ras> what's your code?
12:29:09FromDiscord<Ras> and do you have a `Content-Length` that's `len(body)`?
12:29:16FromDiscord<Ras> (edit) "and do you have a `Content-Length` ... that'sset" added "header" | "headerthat's ... `len(body)`?" added "set to"
12:29:32FromDiscord<Ras> you probably don't need all the headers, lol
12:29:57FromDiscord<voidwalker> yeah I somehow got the idea that I need multipart data, and that didn't work, so I tried to replicate all the headers.. but it wasn't that
12:31:12FromDiscord<voidwalker> yes, `flLoginHeaders["Content-Length"] = $flLoginPostData.len`
12:32:25FromDiscord<voidwalker> code is basically, do a GET request to get that validator string, and PHPSESSID (those work okay)

12:34:21FromDiscord<Ras> set the `Connection` header to `close`
12:35:03FromDiscord<Ras> you also don't need `Accept-Language`, (probably) `Accept`, `Origin`, `Referer`, any of the `Sec-` headers, `TE` and `Upgrade-Insecure-Requests`
12:35:06FromDiscord<voidwalker> Same result
12:35:28FromDiscord<voidwalker> Yeah I will remove all the unnecessary ones once I figure out how to login : )
12:36:06FromDiscord<Ras> also i'm assuming phpSessId has the `PHPSESSID=` prefix, and not just the value
12:36:14FromDiscord<Ras> not related to the error you're getting, but just in case
12:36:51FromDiscord<voidwalker> yes, it is the full string
12:38:35FromDiscord<Ras> hmmmm

15:21:54FromDiscord<kcvinker> In reply to @michaelb.eth "Have you tried the": Yes, but at the first glance, I didn't notice anything which takes a Utf16Char pointer as parameter.
15:29:59FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> hmm, so looking at sources, I see that in devel (so nim v2), widestrs is moved from system to std, and it uses `WideCString = ptr UncheckedArray[Utf16Char]` instead of `WideCString = ref UncheckedArray[Utf16Char]`
15:32:18FromDiscord<michaelb.eth> so if you have a `pointer` to the first utf16char, I think you'd be able to cast to WideCString, but when WideCString is defined with `ref` instead of `ptr`, I'm not sure

15:39:14FromDiscord<demotomohiro> In reply to @Spatchler "this is my first": I think you still need to use uint8 literals like `1'u8` to define `maze`.

16:13:33om3gaFinally found the way how to force GC free up the ram. Not an elegant solution, but I created the thread, and processed all the data to the shared ram, and when thread exits all it's local allocations freed.
16:15:47FromDiscord<mratsim> In reply to @om3ga "Finally found the way": at that point you might as well use manual memory management
16:16:50om3gamratsim: I did that many times, the reason I choose nim is not to do so :)
16:18:45FromDiscord<voidwalker> Is there code in nim devel for default object values or is it just rfc for now ?
16:19:36om3gaI think some sort of GC_free_heap() is a must have function. By my opinion, speed is not always main target, especially when executable can hold all that allocs for long time

19:10:46FromDiscord<guttural666> $ stringyfies stuff, maybe there is an implementation for a seq[char]
19:10:51FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> In reply to @guttural666 "$sequence maybe?": That just does `"@['a', 'b', 'c']"`
19:11:08FromDiscord<kcvinker> Oh I see
19:11:11FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> In reply to @guttural666 "$ stringyfies stuff, maybe": And no, I'd assume that'd break the convention
19:11:47FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> Strutils probably has something for it but an unsafe way of doing this is `cast[string](yourVar)`
19:12:23FromDiscord<kcvinker> In reply to @Hourglass, When the Hour Strikes "And no, I'd assume": Cast is working nicely
19:12:55FromDiscord<guttural666> In reply to @Hourglass, When the Hour Strikes "That just does `"@['a',": yeah
19:13:24FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> In reply to @kcvinker "Cast is working nicely": In strutils there is also https://nim-lang.org/docs/strutils.html#join%2CopenArray%5BT%5D%2Cstring which is much safer
19:13:46FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> `yourVar.join()`
19:14:03FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> Can also change the seperator but not needed here
19:14:12FromDiscord<Chronos [She/Her]> separator
19:25:36FromDiscord<demotomohiro> Casting from `seq[char]` to string can be unsafe as string always has zero terminal but seq[char] doesn't.
19:33:56FromDiscord<guttural666> In reply to @guttural666 "": anybody familiar with std/re?
19:35:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I'm familiar with telling people not to use regex, aside from that joke I've got nothing
19:37:40FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> @sOkam!\: to answer your question of course not. A procedure is self contained and cannot know what symbol or data you pass to it, you want a template
19:41:51FromDiscord<kcvinker> In reply to @Hourglass, When the Hour Strikes "In strutils there is": Thank you. Let me check
19:42:29FromDiscord<voidwalker> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4wMd
19:42:30FromDiscord<kcvinker> In reply to @demotomohiro "Casting from `seq[char]` to": I am creating this seq. So I can make sure that there is a null at the end
19:43:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> You really shouldnt be using `cast`
19:43:19FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Why do you need `string`?
19:43:55FromDiscord<guttural666> In reply to @Elegantbeef "I'm familiar with telling": will hack together a strutils alternative then, when it works it's quite nice ^^
19:44:00om3gakcvinker, but strings are null terminated by default
19:44:08FromDiscord<kcvinker> I am using my nim dll in another programming language
19:44:14om3gawhy you need to do that manually?
19:44:33FromDiscord<voidwalker> @ElegantBeef cause.. I need it ? I want to do something like `fmt"https://website.io/browse.php?id={id}" & fmt"{(if withFiles: "&filelist=1" else: "")}"`
19:44:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Ok you're using your NimDLL in another language, that means you should likely expose a `cstring`
19:44:38FromDiscord<kcvinker> There is only one way to get a string from there. And it is a wchar pointer
19:44:45om3gaand when you call the function it crashes?
19:44:54FromDiscord<kcvinker> Nope
19:45:04FromDiscord<voidwalker> oh that wasn't for me
19:45:06FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nim string isnt a wchar pointer
19:45:14FromDiscord<kcvinker> Because I am parsing string from that ptr
19:45:16om3ga0x0000 is hexademical null for utf16
19:45:24FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Void that's horrendous
19:45:46FromDiscord<voidwalker> dehorrendify it then pls : P

19:46:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=4wMg
19:46:35FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Isnt there a query module for this though
19:49:04FromDiscord<kcvinker> Is it possible to create objects at runtime from string ?
19:49:17FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Sure how do you think parsing works
19:49:23FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Is it possible to create types at runtime... no
19:49:38FromDiscord<kcvinker> Oh I see
19:50:28FromDiscord<voidwalker> ` fmt"https://website.io/details.php?id={id}" & (if withFiles: "&filelist=1" else: ""))`
19:50:30FromDiscord<voidwalker> this works
19:50:53FromDiscord<voidwalker> But I don't know why I can't use an expression to return a string, inside fmt ?
19:51:00FromDiscord<kcvinker> sent a long message, see http://ix.io/4wMh
19:52:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Of course
19:52:26FromDiscord<kcvinker> Where should I start @ElegantBeef ?
19:53:09FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> sent a code paste, see https://paste.rs/8BDcV
19:53:14FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Depends on what you mean from "Getting an object from string"
19:54:09FromDiscord<kcvinker> I mean, I get a string through a function and it's in nim syntax.
19:54:35FromDiscord<kcvinker> So I parse that string and execute it
19:54:52FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nim is compiled to do that you'd need to use the NimVm
19:54:54FromDiscord<kcvinker> So that I can create an object from that string
19:55:08FromDiscord<kcvinker> How ?
19:55:18FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nimscripter is a good place to start
19:55:30FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Though i'd still suggest using json, toml, or any other format over using nimscript
19:55:36FromDiscord<kcvinker> Great. Thanks @ElegantBeef
19:57:45FromDiscord<kcvinker> @ElegantBeef So which is the popular json parser for nim ?
19:58:06FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> There are like 6 to choose from and they all work
20:01:38FromDiscord<RatoGBM> How do I make an array of zeros all int32? `var tape: array[256, int32] = ???` but filled with zeors
20:01:49FromDiscord<RatoGBM> (edit) "tape:" => "arr:"
20:02:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `var arr: array[256, int32]`
20:02:35FromDiscord<RatoGBM> I want it to be filled with zeros
20:02:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yep
20:03:27FromDiscord<RatoGBM> I would like an array of int32 numbers filled with zeros
20:03:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Yes I just showed you how
20:03:47FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Sometimes it's like pulling teeth
20:04:04FromDiscord<demotomohiro> Nim fills arrays with zero in default.
20:04:37FromDiscord<RatoGBM> In reply to @demotomohiro "Nim fills arrays with": I guess that's not why my indexing bug is happening then.
20:05:00FromDiscord<RatoGBM> `Error: unhandled exception: index out of bounds, the container is empty [IndexDefect]`
20:05:27FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Index out of bounds means you're indexxing out of 0..255
20:05:34FromDiscord<demotomohiro> In Nim, almost every types are initialized with zero bits in default excepts `{.noinit.}`.
20:08:19FromDiscord<RatoGBM> 🤦‍♂️ Nvm and thks, I was being redicolously stupid
20:08:34FromDiscord<RatoGBM> (edit) "🤦‍♂️ Nvm and thks, I was being redicolously stupid ... " added "in my code"
20:18:04*progranner quit (Quit: My Mac has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…)
20:22:40FromDiscord<sOkam!> is this type of thing illegal in recent versions of nim? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/1111751280050851860/image.png
20:23:22FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Was that ever legal?
20:23:38FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `int` is a integer so needs to be stropped there as it's a parameter name
20:24:56FromDiscord<sOkam!> how would you achieve something like this with current versions of nim? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/371759389889003532/1111751843559772180/image.png

20:26:43FromDiscord<sOkam!> oh shoot
20:28:19FromDiscord<sOkam!> thx beef. that was the issue
20:29:39FromDiscord<sOkam!> is there docs anywhere where each of the node kinds are described?
20:29:56FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Nope
20:31:25FromDiscord<sOkam!> how can I learn about the topic, without just blind-guessing?
20:32:01FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://nim-lang.org/docs/macros.html#the-ast-in-nim
20:32:02FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> closest there is
20:32:32FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> `dumpTree` and `repr`
20:32:43FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Almost like you never read my writeup on macros
20:33:28FromDiscord<sOkam!> dude, i read it 3 times
20:33:55FromDiscord<sOkam!> doesn't mean reading something makes me understand something. specially when the person is equipped with my brain 🐠
20:34:51FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Guess it doesnt mention `treeRepr` and the other representation procedures
20:37:05*disso-peach quit (Quit: Leaving)
20:41:18*ntat quit (Quit: Leaving)
20:45:16FromDiscord<sOkam!> yeah, but having a list of things doesn't give an explanation of each of the things. that's why i was asking if thats documented somewhere, or if its all blind-guessing from names
20:45:39FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> I do not follow
20:47:18FromDiscord<sOkam!> I can deduce that `nnkConv` is the actual node of `Conv` when the treeRepr function sends it out to the console↵but... i don't know what Conv is, I have to blindguess if its `conversation`, `convention` or `convolution` (just to give a silly dumb example) and that doesn't explain what that Convention thing is meant to be for. So I have to guess what its for, and that guess could be wrong
20:48:23FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/blob/devel/compiler/ast.nim second closest to that explanatation
20:48:32FromDiscord<sOkam!> like `FormalParams`. why are they `formal`. and things like that
20:48:36FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> Scroll down to tnodekind
20:48:48FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> None of that is explained anywhere
20:48:54FromDiscord<Elegantbeef> They're formal cause they're not generic
20:49:14FromDiscord<sOkam!> oh they are slightly documented there. thats definitely better than nothing, tyty
