lang.IndexTemplateTable()
(template API)Returns element(s) from a table
This is a template API you can use for your custom data types.
It should only be called from ReadIndex() and
ReadNotIndex() functions.
This function ensures consistency with the index, [,
builtin when used with different Murex data types. Thus making indexing
a data type agnostic capability.
Example calling lang.IndexTemplateTable() function:
package generic
import (
"bytes"
"strings"
"github.com/lmorg/murex/lang"
)
func index(p *lang.Process, params []string) error {
cRecords := make(chan []string, 1)
go func() {
err := p.Stdin.ReadLine(func(b []byte) {
cRecords <- rxWhitespace.Split(string(bytes.TrimSpace(b)), -1)
})
if err != nil {
p.Stderr.Writeln([]byte(err.Error()))
}
close(cRecords)
}()
marshaller := func(s []string) (b []byte) {
b = []byte(strings.Join(s, "\t"))
return
}
return lang.IndexTemplateTable(p, params, cRecords, marshaller)
}package lang

errMixAndMatch = errors.New("you cannot mix and match matching modes")
)
// IndexTemplateTable is a handy standard indexer you can use in your custom data types for tabulated / streamed data.
