Talk:Snapshot API

Regex for matching the snapshot API

Eyo! Not sure if anyone would find this useful, but I needed to parse the snapshot api easily, so I wrote a regex, and sharing it here for anyone who may find it useful. Not important enough to go on the wiki page for it, so I put it here as "extra info". It is written in python but should be easy to grab and port over to stuff like perl, ruby, and php. <syntaxhighlight lang="python">

1. Using explicit \n instead of """stuff""" for sanity reasons

rePostcardDetails = re.compile(r"", re.IGNORECASE)

if __name__ == "__main__":

   test = rePostcardDetails.match("""""")
   print("This snapshot was taken by {} at {} ({}, {}, {})!".format(
       test.group("username"),
       test.group("sim_name"),
       test.group("local_x"),
       test.group("local_y"),
       test.group("local_z")
   ))
