php - simple regex pattern confusion -


somebody give me hand please. why getting below output

$pattern = "#([a-z])*|(chol)#"; preg_match($pattern, 'chol',$m);  print_r($m) // array                 (                   [0]=> 'chol',                   [1]=> 'l'                 )

why first sub capture matched l character while full match chol. may missing something. expected output below

array         (          [0]=> 'chol',          [1]=> 'chol'         )

i don't think pattern overly complicated confuse me.

you quantified group. need quantify [a-z] character class.

use

$pattern = "#([a-z]*)|(chol)#";

see php demo , more details @ repeating capturing group vs. capturing repeated group. in short: ([a-z]*) match , capture 0 or more lowercase ascii letters group 1 , contain whole chunk of these letters, while ([a-z])* match , capture 0 or more occurrences of consequent lowercase ascii letter, while overwriting each previous occurrence new one.

you might consider removing redundant capturing groups if not using them.

more, since unanchored alternation, note [a-z]* match chol , second alternative never match. might consider putting (chol) first alternative more specific.

so, suggest

$pattern = "#(chol)|([a-z]*)#";

more on @ remember regex engine eager.

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj...

What is happening when Matlab is starting a "parallel pool"? -

running parallel cpu processes in matlab starts command parpool() according documentation , function: [creates] special job on pool of workers, , [connects] matlab client parallel pool. this function takes bit of time execute, on order of 30 seconds. in other multi-cpu paradigms openmp, parallel execution seems totally transparent -- i've never noticed behavior analogous matlab (granted i'm not experienced parallel programming). so, happening between time parpool() called , when finishes executing? takes long? parallel computing toolbox enables run matlab code in parallel using several different paradigms (e.g. jobs , tasks, parfor , spmd , parfeval , batch processing), , run either locally (parallelised across cores in local machine) or remotely (parallelised across machines in cluster - either 1 own, or 1 in cloud). in of these cases, code run on matlab workers , copies of matlab without interactive desktop. if you're intending run on remo...
