Post #148,373 by ben_tilly 3/24/04 10:17:49 PM Reply	Feature request If I'm reading the code right, I'd like retURLFinderRaw to modify the RE to have one of the characters that you can end a URL with be "?". The reason being that it is kind of irritating to type in a URL at the end of a question - the ? is assumed to be part of the URL. (Besides, most ? marks in URLs are firmly embedded in the middle...)

Post #148,388 by FuManChu 3/24/04 10:40:53 PM Reply	Looks straightforward. Thanks for sharing! Dispatching single-pass parser, it looks like (unless I missed something on a cursory glance). The bit about constructing a huge descending-length regex was interesting. I had forgotten about the WeeCodes, since I never use 'em. ;) That's a good chunk of the handlers. Reading parts of it makes me sad for being stuck on 1.5.2, however. I can see some significant speedups if one could use just newer libs. Which of course a full rewrite would address. Plus the logic is already built; that's 90% of the battle. Saludos, FuMan _Perhaps_ with HTMLParser, but I wouldn't be stuck on that.
Post #148,392 by admin 3/24/04 10:48:22 PM Reply	The 2.X code is much cleaner. I've got older versions for 2.1 and 2.2 around here somewhere. The code is a Python rewrite (plus additions) of Ben Tilly's perl HTML filter. The code is somewhat messy, since it was just done to prove a point to Ben. :-) Come to think of it, I've got a much nicer ObjectiveC version too. The nice thing about it is the ability to pass in your own set of handlers. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
Post #148,399 by FuManChu 3/24/04 11:08:14 PM Reply	Dig that funky extensibility groove. :) I went more of the "plugin" route with Junct, that collab tool I mentioned. By that I basically mean you write a class instead of a function for new behavior. Example signature: class TableRule(RegexRule):\n def process(self, topic, content, UI): Point being I tried to make it easy to write a new module when you wanted new parsing functionality. Still just a callable. But then it was expected with heavyweight parsers (like Calendar, Progress tracking, etc) that the "plugin" module would also include the UI code for new pages. In addition, I had a need to do multiple passes on the content, and allow some handlers to "lock down" the portions of the content which they altered, so they couldn't then be munged by a later handler. I ended up making a LockableString class with finditer() and sub() methods (a la RE). Plus there were some handlers which a simple regex couldn't handle--Wiki-style formatting stuff. Hmm... that's been running stably for a month now here at work. I should probably put it up somewhere...
