Expression Rule

Hi,

I have a below output from my expression

My requirement is if "expr" of every Dictionary contains "rowcode" that row code needs to be replaced by "expr" of that particular rowcode (for eg: "(FRML_88_1+FRML_88_2)" this expression contains rowcode so i need to replace it with expr "((123/12)+(1284*64))" and  the final output be like  "(((123/12)+(1284*64))*(9090+122))"

  • I digested this a little bit, and it appears that "expr" is either a mathematical expression or a reference to another expression based on the rowcode, so the rowcode should be replaced into that expression when it exists in the expr.

    Great case for a recursive function here.  This example assumes there are always 2 objects within the "expr" separated by +,-,* or /, and the rowcode references always contain the text "FRML".

    Additionally, to assist I've created a new local!data2 variable which breaks out the expr into 2 separate parts and operator, easier to parse that way.

    Primary, rule!chris_21640():

    a!localVariables(
      local!data: {
        a!map(expr: "(123/12)", rowcode: "FRML_88_1"),
        a!map(expr: "(1284*64)", rowcode: "FRML_88_2"),
        a!map(expr: "(FRML_88_1+FRML_88_2)", rowcode: "FRML_88_3"),
        a!map(expr: "(9090+122)", rowcode: "FRML_88_4"),
        a!map(expr: "(FRML_88_3*FRML_88_4)", rowcode: "FRML_88_5")
      },
      local!operators: {"+","-","*","/"},
      local!data2: a!flatten(
        a!forEach(
          items: local!data,
          expression: {
            a!localVariables(
              local!row: fv!item.expr,
              local!rowcode: fv!item.rowcode,
              reject(
                fn!isnull,
                a!flatten(
                  a!forEach(
                    items: local!operators,
                    expression: if(
                      search(fv!item,local!row)>0,
                      a!localVariables(
                        local!operator: fv!item,
                        local!items: split(stripwith(local!row,"()"),fv!item),
                        a!map(
                          expr1: local!items[1],
                          expr2: local!items[2],
                          operator: local!operator,
                          rowcode: local!rowcode
                        )
                      ),
                      null
                    )
                  )
                )
              )
            )
          }
        )
      ),
      
      a!forEach(
        items: local!data2,
        expression: rule!chris_21640_recur(
          data: local!data2,
          expr1: fv!item.expr1,
          expr2: fv!item.expr2,
          operator: fv!item.operator
        )
      )
    )

    And the helper recursive rule, rule!chris_21640_recur():

    concat(
      "(",
      if(
        search("FRML",ri!expr1)>0,
        a!localVariables(
          local!index: wherecontains(ri!expr1,ri!data.rowcode),
          rule!chris_21640_recur(
            data: ri!data,
            expr1: index(ri!data.expr1,local!index,null),
            expr2: index(ri!data.expr2,local!index,null),
            operator: index(ri!data.operator,local!index,null),
          )
        ),
        ri!expr1,
      ),
      ri!operator,
      if(
        search("FRML",ri!expr2)>0,
        a!localVariables(
          local!index: wherecontains(ri!expr2,ri!data.rowcode),
          rule!chris_21640_recur(
            data: ri!data,
            expr1: index(ri!data.expr1,local!index,null),
            expr2: index(ri!data.expr2,local!index,null),
            operator: index(ri!data.operator,local!index,null),
          )
        ),
        ri!expr2,
      ),
      ")"
    )

    This will return a list of mathematical expressions, replacing (recursively) rowcode references within the expressions. 

  • Thanks Chris for your response, it's working as expected
