Can implement this substitution with an operation with a regex?

For example, this file is a txt file.TAB spacing:
Column 2 contains, column 2 contains
The maximum number of rows is 5
Can you use regular substitution to replace rows with less than 5 such symbols to complete the cell with a total of 5 similar symbols?
Make up as shown in the figure.

Of course, for ease of handling, the contents of column 1 can also be added according to this rule.

I'm not really sure what we are trying to implement here based on your text and example provided. Could you expand on it a bit?

Re: Can implement this substitution with an operation with a regular?

Are we trying to add more ▲ to end of last column if there is less than five of them?

Re: Can implement this substitution with an operation with a regular?

Yes, of course column 2 is treated by the same rules.

For convenience, you can first replace ~ with ▲

Thanks!

  • I want to do it in an alternate way, not in a tabular way.

txt="……";
tx=Substitute(txt,"~","▲");ccoyy

Re: Can implement this substitution with an operation with a regular?

Forcing yourself to use regex is in my opinion a bad idea. In this case you could for example loop line by line, replace ~ and triangles with "" on columns two and three, check how many were replaced and then add them to the end of correct "columns".

It seems that python's way of handling memory arrays is flexible and simple

Re: Can implement this substitution with an operation with a regular?

Is there a reason why you couldn't do exactly (or almost) same thing in JSL?

  • In JSL I don't know how to write simply in the form of memory arrays
