[Chrome Extension Confirmation Popup]

I have a Chrome extension but I occasionally get a result that needs a confirmation from the user. It appears that there is no way to produce a popup confirmation window. Is that true and if not, how do I do it? TIA.

[Match Array of RegExpr with String]

Got it. Thanks.

[Match Array of RegExpr with String]

I thought a new thread would be better, sorry. In any case I am confused as I thought a regexp needed the '/' delimiters.

[Match Array of RegExpr with String]

Not sure how this became part of the previous topic although it is related in in that it is applying that solution. I thought I started a new topic. What I posted was the string before running it through Javascript RegExp. I assumed that the string was supposed to be a regexp expression string that RegExp would convert. Are you saying that the string should just be:

FRENCH

[Match Array of RegExpr with String]

I thought this would be easy but I am really bad at regexps. I want to match the string 'FRENCH' anywhere in a string.

/FRENCH/

Does not work. Please help. TIA.

[Daily repeating timer]

The OP said something about clicking a link which is why I asked to see some code.

[Daily repeating timer]

It is still not clear what you are trying to do. Do users click on a link and see the time for the next upload? Perhaps you need to show some code of what you tried and what didn't work. Be sure to use the code icon (<>) and specify PHP

[Match Array of RegExpr with String]

Got it.

for (var i=0; i<config_data.excludes.length; i++) {
   regexes.push(new RegExp(config_data.excludes[i]));
}

I always struggle with data types in Java

[Match Array of RegExpr with String]

I think the problem is here:

for (let item in config_data.excludes) {
   regexes.push(new RegExp(item));
}

The result in regexexs is one entry and it is '/0/' because 'item' is '0' rather than '/FRENCH*/'.

[Daily repeating timer]

You need to be more explicit. If the next task is always 7:30PM each day, why do you need a timer?

If you do need a timer are you running on Windows, Mac or Linux?

[Match Array of RegExpr with String]

?????

[Match Array of RegExpr with String]

For testing, config_data.excludes has one entry:

Array(1)

0: "/FRENCH*/"

length: 1

items.title has many entries but these are typical:

skipping Pick a Youtube thumbnail/title (~10 seconds)
skipping Survey for $0.25 (~4 Minutes)(~ 4 minutes)
skipping 2-minute study for $0.30(~ 2 minutes)
skipping 2023 Plans

As you can see the code is "skipping" even though 'FRENCH*' does not exist in those strings.

[Match Array of RegExpr with String]

This is not working as expected. Perhaps I am missing something. First I do this:

regexes=[]
for (let item in config_data.excludes) {
   regexes.push(new RegExp(item));
}

'config_data.excludes' is an array of strings representing regexps.

Then I do this in a loop:

if (regexes.some(re=>re.test(item.title))) {
     console.log("skipping "+item.title)
     continue;
}

This block is in a loop (item.title) so the 'continue' will skip to the next item in the loop. Unfortunately, it finds the 'if' is always true although none of the items contain any of the rexexps. I didn't let it run long enough to actually encounter a title that does match but is the return boolean backwards from what I expected?

[Match Array of RegExpr with String]

1 hour ago, requinix said:

Well there has to be a loop somewhere, question is whether you write it yourself or not.

Array.some

const regexes = [/a/, /b/, /c/, /d/, /e/];
const input = "something";

const any = regexes.some(re => re.test(input));

 

I don't want to write the loop myself if I don't have to which was what I was trying to say. I don't think I understand what you did. First don't you need to run 'regexes' through the 'RegExp' function? Then is 'test' a function of 'some'? I was not able to follow the link you provided as it relates to this question. I assume from the documentation that 'any' will be either 'true' or 'false', right?

[Match Array of RegExpr with String]

I have an array of regular expressions that I want to check against a string. I need to know if the string matches any of those regexps. Is there a way to do that without using a loop? TIA.

[How to Push an Empty Array into an Object]

Thanks. That was what I was missing.

[How to Push an Empty Array into an Object]

To clarify, 'excludes' is not in the object (yes it is a json array/object) at this point but I want it to be an empty array for future use:

json_array.excludes.push(<some string>);

 

[How to Push an Empty Array into an Object]

I have an object that contains arrays and other elements. I need to add an array to that object but I cannot figure out how to do that. This is what I tried:

json_array.push(excludes[]);

Can someone give me the correct syntax? TIA.

[Creating a regexpr from a string]

I'm a bit confused about regexp in Javascript. If I have a string that is in the form of a regexp do I need to create a regexp object to use it? If so do I just do:

expr=new RegExp(str);

TIA.

[why do my database name is not updated even after update of the file.]

Yep. There you go. It is a permissions error or wrong password for root or root is the wrong MySQL user for that database.

[why do my database name is not updated even after update of the file.]

Then it must be a permissions issue resulting from the change. Check the httpd/error log.

[why do my database name is not updated even after update of the file.]

You need to show your code but off hand I would say that there is no database named 'phplogin'. I'm guessing that is a table name and the database itself is named something else.
