#tmtowtdi — Public Fediverse posts

The MTA site I found lists bus routes at each stop using commas with alpha first.
like: "OR, 40, 59, 63".
In other words, way the physical signs are ordered.
In #OSM, routes have been joined with semi-colons, and alpha last (ASCII sort).
To compare each stop record in OSM against the bus company, I reached for the camel book.
#TMTOWTDI

$ cat bus1.t
OR, 40, 59, 63
40, 59, 63
40

$ cat bus1.t | perl bus_route.pl
OR, 40, 59, 63
40;59;63;OR
40, 59, 63
40;59;63
40
40

Next, SQL materialized view?

#Perl: the programming language that allows you to create elegant and readable code, OR syntactical eldritch horrors.

Your choice, really. #TMTOWTDI

Just for the record my favourite language is still Perl ❤️. 😆

@ology my script indeed involved a split.

I know Python is a more ‘serious’ language but jaysus I can’t be having with the pip dependency lunacy and sometimes you just want to knock something out that just works even if you never considered whether a tab is 2 or 4 spaces or whether that string might really be an array of bytes or a collection of chars. 🤷

So all the love for #tmtowtdi !

Woo - Greatly simplified my code with a single `split` rather than two unwieldy, redundant regular expressions. #tmtowtdi #perl :D

So weit muss man nicht gehen. Sagen wir es wie die alten Perl-Programmierer.innen: „There is more than one way to do it.“ #TMTOWTDI #TIMTOWTDI /c
