greetings for all

the new version of the library for working with an arrays in gawk is available at :

https://github.com/digics/gawklib
the v3.0 files is:

array.inc
array.rtf

the new version comparing with the previous:

- even more higher performance
- variable index step parameter for array-joining functions
- two types of an arrays supported
- flexible parameter set
- non array-join functions for array's definition, data movements and arrays printing

just @include file array.inc in your project.

note: library needs for it's own initialization located in the BEGIN area. please make sure that its performed before using ANY of the library's resource

the library's documentation is also available in wordpad's .rtf format in file array.rtf. the documentation is well although it has some sections not finished. i will update it continuously.

for any questions, suggestions, bug reporting, feature request etc - please contact me at cosmogen@gmail.com

i will be glad for any feedback

with the kind Regards

Could you give us some idea of what this is about? Just posting URLs is
lazy. Anyway, I tried:

$ lynx https://github.com/digics/gawklib

and looked around a little, but couldn't figure anything out. So, I gave up.

Note that I am not about to download a .RTF file, because then I'd have to
find a Windows machine somewhere on which to read it. Couldn't you just
post a text version of it here - or at least some subset that would give us some idea what it is about?

Suggestion: If there is some non-text attributes of the documentation that
you want to preserve, consider saving it as (i.e., converting it to) HTML. That's a bit more universal than .RTF.

the new version comparing with the previous:

This is the first I've heard of it. I didn't see any previous
announcements (in this newsgroup).

hello

got it!

i was converting .rtf file to html by the first converter that i was found. so documentation is now available at the same place in array.html

one year ago i was releasing the previous version of the array library and have some feedbacks from a peoples

thnx

OK, but you still haven't given us any idea what this is really about.

Yes, I know I could probably go online and hunt around and get stuff and
figure it out, but the point is that: A) Most people won't do that - yes, because they are lazy, and B) I won't do it - I just don't see sufficient motivation. So, if you want people to know what you're doing, you're going
to have to do a little more enticing.

hello

I have no experience in publishing code and I have no idea what and how to do it, I apologize)

array v3.0 is a library of the functions for effectively works with an arrays in gawk.
it's have five functions for joining an array: simple join, join with separator, join-pairs, join pairs with separator

the join functions have high performance and ready for working with a large amount of data

in addition, the library includes
other really useful functions for working with an arrays: for it's definiyion and for a data movements

also library includes functions for printing(dumping) a contents of an array and content of the two arrays

and finally library contains sometimes useful other array functions

i've just added file 'test.gwk' to the git repository that is simple code examples working with this library

Kind Regards

No problem. See https://www.nobledesktop.com/learn/git/create-a-readme-file and https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-readmes and do THAT as a starting point so people know what your repo is for and how to use it.

@Digi : if your intention in the initialization process is to create an array for all 256-bytes, you can add this offset to each number,
2 * 3^3 * 4^5
or
6^5 * 4^3 / 3^2
or
4^5 * 54
or
6^3 * 4^4
which will allow you to print out any arbitrary byte even in gawk unicode mode. If that fails to generate the bytes properly, then use 8^7 instead.
(ps : they're all the same number)

hello

"...you can add this offset to each number.."

i know the place of what you're talikng about. it's like:

for ( c = 0; c < 256; c++ )
ASC[ sprintf( "%.c", c ) ] = c

allows: ASC[ char ] == code

but i completely misunderstanding what offset is adding to what number?

i cannot understand how text that you're provided may help me to convert numeric byte value to it's character or it's hexadecimal form

Try calculating it - all of them arrives at the exact same number that's a very crucial code point in Unicode spec - and it's that crucial point allowing you to get a full array of bytes without using byte mode or adjusting locales.

Hi Digi
Here's the proof of concept why that works - i've forced gawk unicode mode to print me out all 256-bytes, in descending order, including every byte that isn't part of Unicode at all, such as \xC1 or \xFC (some ancient nomenclature claims all the way to like xFD or xFE, but those are very much outdated - Unicode consortium themselves specifically say those aren't even in consideration)

oh this is cool!

i really not specialist about unicode. i know about it just a few things:

single character may have up to 15 bytes of code

in theory - unicode may implement ANY KIND of language including speach and writes

there is some unicodes thats determinate the type and method of sounds generated by human's .... mmm... an output interface devices)))) like mouth, lips, tooths, breathes and etc

however - i have some picture - let's look it at https://github.com/digics/gawklib/blob/main/1252_scheme.png

this table is the result of little research that i was performed about twelve years ago.
it's covers amount of encodings that are was been actually reduced to cover Windows-125x / ISO 8859-x

the blue lines surrounds local alpha characters that ARE local alpha characters in all encodings.
the green lines surrounds characters that are exist in all covered encodings.

i think that this make you a fun =)

No. Unicode just specifies an integer value for each character. The
highest allocated value is 0x10FFFD, which fits in 21 bits.

There are several *representations* of Unicode. The most common is
UTF-8, which can encode all Unicode characters in no more than 4 bytes.
There's nothing that would reqiure 15 bytes in any encoding I'm aware
of (unless you want to invent something silly like UTF-5).

in theory - unicode may implement ANY KIND of language including
speach and writes

If by "some unicodes" you mean "some unicode characters", I don't
believe that's correct.

i think what it was is that gnu-od defaulted 16 columns, but since the octals of eerily look like first column in reverse order, so maybe he excluded that and counted 15 ?
