http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4849 Summary: Remove str.string.abbrev() Product: D Version: D2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Phobos AssignedTo: nobody@puremagic.com ReportedBy: bearophile_hugs@eml.cc --- Comment #0 from bearophile_hugs@eml.cc 2010-09-10 12:17:33 PDT --- It's good to have minimal APIs, because this reduces the time to learn it, and reduces the time to find the right function/method to use in code. So I suggest to remove the str.string.abbrev() function. Its purpose is not common enough in programs, and its name is not nice. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

I can always copy the code, I guess.. A bigger WTF is the soundex function. How do you determine how a word sounds? And what if it's not an English word, would it sound different (I assume it would sometime)? -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

If some characters are capitalized, you should be able to abbreviate by using only those chars, e.g.: static string[] list = [ "FoodAndDrinks", "FoodAndCocacola" ]; auto abbrevs = std.string.abbrev(list); foreach (key, value; abbrevs) { writefln("%s => %s", key, value); } This should print out, among other things: ... FAD => FoodAndDrinks FooAD => FoodAndDrinks FAC => FoodAndCocacola Then it would be much more usable as an autocomplete feature. But I don't know if this belongs in Phobos. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

Because it's not a commonly useful string functionality, it muds the string API. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |

I think we're in good shape. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- |
