Hi all,
Hope you all are well and doing good. I am stuck in one problem, hope
anyone has
the solution of it.

I am taking a text from a form. I need to check the no. of occurrences
of a single word say "hello" in that text and replace it with its
occurrence number. For example in a text the word "hello" occurs 5
times. So i need to replace the first "hello" with "1" and the second
"hello" with "2" and so on till the last word.

Waiting for your Responses,

Hi,

Use n=String.index(token) and loop through the string with a counter. With
every success find, replace the token in the string (at n'th position) with
the counter.

I hope it helps...

[Cross posting another solution the same question from the BRUG list]

counter=0
form_text_string.gsub!(/hello/) {counter+=1}

hi guys,
           In my form there is a text input fields named as
"targetFields". User can input their values.
           but user can also select from the most popular inputs from the
database as a dropdown list.
           As Example www.goole.com
             If you input "how can " then google will display some
popular search string starting with "how can".
             and anyone can select search string from the dropdown list.
           regarding this I also fetch the strings set from the database by ajax
at the input event of the
           text box but can not display the result set down of the text box as
google do.

  It is actually a html or javascript problem But I know here a lot of experts So
I am expecting a solution.
  Please help.
  Thanks in advance.

You need a Google CSE to do this. Check out
http://www.anup.info/2008/07/17/add-google-custom-search-to-your-rails-applicati\
on-business-edition/
Or else, you have to do it using an iFrame (with the free version)

We're happy to announce the second edition of DevCamp Bangalore, DevCamp
Bangalore 2 ( http://devcamp.in ); it's happening on Saturday, 11th
April 2009. Like any BarCamp, registration is at the wiki.

DevCamp is an un-conference by the hackers*, for the hackers and of the
hackers.
It's a species of BarCamp where anything a lover of computers and
technology would consider important or entertaining goes. The first
DevCamp ( http://www.devcamp.in/wiki/DevCamp_Bangalore_1 ) happened a
little over a year ago and was a lot of fun; we're hoping to keep that
trend going with DCB2.

If you're planning to do a session at DCB2, do keep in mind the fact
that everyone at DevCamp is a hacker, a pro. Please assume a high level
of exposure and knowledge on the part of your audience and tailor your
sessions to suit. Avoid 'Hello World' and how-to sessions which can be
trivially found on the net. First hand war stories, in-depth analyses of
topics and live demos are best.

Best,
Sidu.

PS: If you'd like to get involved, the DevCamp mailing list is at

Subject: [OT] Webinar on Transitioning to Agile

Hi all,

Ruby on Rails and Agile Development kind of go hand in hand, I feel. RoR
makes iterative development and quick feedback pretty easy. And of course,
the strong focus on unit testing that the Rails/Ruby community has is also
something inspired from Agile practices.

However, there may be hurdles that people face from time to time in
adjusting to an Agile environment. Plus, there is more to Agile than just
iterations and unit tests...

ThoughtWorks is conducting a free online webinar about transitioning to
Agile. I thought the webinar could be relevant to the folks on this mailing
list. Feel free to register if you find the topic interesting:

Subject: [ANN] Geek Night at ThoughtWorks Pune

Send Email Send Email
 
Hi all,
After the successful Ruby FunDay a few weeks back, ThoughtWorks is happy to
announce a Geek Night event (but during the day) at its Pune office on 4
April.

For those not familiar with TW's Geek Nights: it is typically an informal
gathering where we pick a hot technology topic and proceed to discuss it and
learn from each others' experience and perspectives. For example, in the
past, we've discussed topics like JRuby, and Usability (User Experience).

This time around we have the following topics: "IronPython", "Why Ruby? You
have C#", "Distributed Version Control Systems"

I think our group of Ruby enthusiasts will have good takeaways from each of
these sessions:
- the 1st session on IronPython (running Python in .Net) will have ideas
that can be immediately applied to IronRuby (Ruby in .Net) or JRuby (Ruby in
Java)
- the 2nd session about using Ruby-like syntax in C# to improve project code
quality (readability, maintainability, etc) will have concepts that will
help us appreciate how we use Ruby, plus, the influence Ruby is having in
the future of programming languages
- the 3rd session will cover DVCS like Git and Mercurial which are fast
becoming popular in Rails circles (isn't everyone moving to GitHub?? it's
time we talked about "why?"...)

When: 04 April 2009, 2.00 pm
Where: ThoughtWorks office, Yerwada (near Don Bosco school), Pune
Registration: http://www.thoughtworker.com/events/pune-geek-night

Regards,

Aman King
