HXT: Gathering text from Nodes
by aditya siram 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hi all, I'm having trouble using HXT to gather up text from all nodes with a certain name, and return it in a tuple with another node. So given 3 child nodes called "kid" containing "a", "b" and "c", and 1 child node called "name" containing "A", I want to return ("A", ["a","b","c"]). My current code at http://hpaste.org/fastcgi/hpaste.fcgi/view?id=6187#a6187returns [("A","a")("B","b")("C","c")]. Any help is appreciated. -deech

Updating lists inside another list
by Aaron MacDonald 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

I have a list of pairs. Each pair has a value and a list. So, the structure looks like this: [ (a, [b, c]), (b, [a, c]) ] What I want to do is be able to add an element to the inner list of the pair with the head value of my choosing. So, for the above list: > addToInnerList [ (a, [b, c]), (b, [a, c]) ] a d [ (a, [b, c, d]), (b, [a, c]) ]

Hi Heres my code snippet. It reports that my error is in line 9 right after the main definition. All functions that i call work under normal circumstances. Thanks module Benchmark where import ReadCSV import Operators import Data.Time.Clock (diffUTCTime, getCurrentTime) main = do xs <- readCSV "dataconvert/lineitem.tbl" '|' start <- getCurrentTime let pnp = projection [5] xs let snp = selection (\x -> (x!!0) > (Int 17000)) pnp end <- getCurrentTime putStrLn $ show (end `diffUTCTime` start) start2 <- getCurrentTime let pp = pProjection [5] xs let sp = pSelection (\x -> (x!!0) > (Int 17000)) pp end2 <- getCurrentTime putStrLn $ show (end2 `diffUTCTime` start2) return xs

Modifications inside a Reader?
by Brian Troutwine 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hello all. I'm writing a UDP echo server, full source given below. The current implementation echoes back the "payload" of every incoming message but I would prefer that only unique payloads be echoed back. To that end I've started in with Data.BloomFilter but am not sure how to update it accordingly. I imagine that Reader is probably the wrong monad to be using though I'm unsure how I might modify my program to use State. Could someone lead me along a bit? Also, any general comments on the style of my program? Thanks, Brian -- import Prelude hiding (putStrLn, catch) import Network.Socket hiding (send, sendTo, recv, recvFrom) import Network.Socket.ByteString import Data.ByteString.Char8 hiding (head) import Control.Monad.Reader import Control.Monad (forever) import Control.Exception (bracket) import Data.BloomFilter import Data.BloomFilter.Easy import Data.BloomFilter.Hash (cheapHashes) data Globals = Globals { socketG :: Socket , bloomF :: Bloom ByteString } type Echo = ReaderT Globals IO run :: Echo () run = forever $ do s <- asks socketG (msg, addr) <- liftIO $ recvFrom s 1024 let [_, _, _, payload] = split ':' msg liftIO $ sendTo s payload addr main :: IO () main = bracket build disconnect loop where disconnect = sClose . socketG loop st = runReaderT run st build :: IO Globals build = do addrinfos <- getAddrInfo (Just (defaultHints {addrFlags = [AI_PASSIVE]})) Nothing (Just "1514") let serveraddr = head addrinfos sock <- socket (addrFamily serveraddr) Datagram defaultProtocol bindSocket sock (addrAddress serveraddr) return $ Globals sock $ emptyB (cheapHashes 3) 1024

map increases length of list
by Aaron MacDonald 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

For some reason, the map function returns a list that has one more element than my input list. My input list is a range defined by [0, 60..359] (should translate into [0,60,120,180,240,300]). The function I'm giving to map is defined this way: ----- degreesToRadians :: Double -> Double degreesToRadians degrees = degrees * (pi / 180) ----- This is how I'm calling map overall: ----- > map degreesToRadians [0,60..359] [0.0,1.0471975511965976,2.0943951023931953,3.141592653589793,4.1887902047863905,5.235987755982989,6.283185307179586 ] ----- As you can hopefully see, there are seven elements instead of six. Getting the length confirms this: ----- > length [0,60..359] 6 > length $ map degreesToRadians [0,60..359] 7 ----- I do not seem to get this behaviour with the length if I either substitute the degreesToRadians function or substitute the [0,60..359] range. P.S. Is there a built-in function to convert degrees to radians and vice-versa?

xml parsing
by Benedikt Ahrens 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hello, I want to write a program which among other should read some xml file. The xml tags will mostly be custom ones defined by a dtd. My question is: which parsing library to use? On http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/XML three libraries are mentioned, but a comparison and recommendation of which one to choose is missing. As you might imagine, I would like to use a library which is actively maintained? Has any of these libraries developed into a "standard" library? Thanks in advance for your help. ben

Strange errors in network

I have problems with my nntp library (http://code.haskell.org/nntp/) If I try to list command it seems to fail. Test code: > (c,p) <- connectToHost "news.example.com" Nothing > forGroups c (System.IO.putStrLn . groupName) *** Exception: <socket: 6>: Data.ByteString.hGetLine: end of file Conncection by telnet (according to wireshark): -> SYN <- SYN, ACK -> ACK <- NNTP Helo Message -> ACK Connection by Haskell: -> SYN <- SYN ACK -> ACK <- NNTP Helo Message -> ACK <- FIN ACK (after 10 s) -> ACK If I try to run by hand the commands in ghci I get mixed results (sometimes works sometimes it fails). What's wrong? PS. example.com is an example, non-existing domain. It is specified by a RFC to be an example domain. PPS. As I'm not subscribe the list please CC me
