How to use Google Translate in Matlab? - matlab

I am writing a program to list all unique words in a movie subtitle file using Matlab. Now I have a unique word list that I want to translate to my language and learn the meaning before watching the movie.
Does anyone know how can I use Google Translate in Matlab so that I can complete my script? Is there any web service or so, and how can I use it in Matlab?
Thanks,
Appendix 1:
I have found this code useful:
%build url and send to google
url = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate';
page = urlread(url, 'get', {'v', '1.0','q', inputString,'langpair', [sourceLanguage '|' destLanguage]});
but I don't know why it returns error each time I run it (e.g. 403 or 400). I know that my internet connection is okay when testing.


For a simple translator (I have no idea about quality), maybe try this. I didn't bother parsing the output:
langCodes = urlread('http://www.transltr.org/api/getlanguagesfortranslate'); % find your language code
textToTranslate = 'rabbit'; %change
langCodeOfOrigText ='en';
langCodeOfTranslation ='es';
translateURL = 'http://www.transltr.org/api/translate';
translateResults = urlread(translateURL, 'get', {'text',textToTranslate,'to',langCodeOfTranslation,'from',langCodeOfOrigText});
Just see next to translationText of the output for the result. Like I said, you can parse it, just google for a json to matlab struct parser.

API for getting language server info from extension (bracket pairs, function begin/end, ...)

I'm currently writing an extension for VSCode which needs to have some good knowledge about the currently shown code in the editor and I'm wondering if there is some API available which can give me the needed information (e.g. from the current language server) or if I have to do the heavy lifting myself by implementing all the needed code parsing etc.
What I need in detail is the following:
Given is a position in code (line + col no)
What I'd like to know about the given position:
Is pos inside a function and if so, where does the function start & end?
Is pos inside a string and if so, where does the string start & end?
The extension is going to provide some kind of "vim selection light".

You can have only half of that via VS Code APIs.
Is pos inside a function and if so, where does the function start & end?
Using the vscode.executeDocumentSymbolProvider command, you can gather all functions from a file and check if the current position is inside one of the functions.
Something like this to retrieve the functions:
const symbolsToFind = [SymbolKind.Function, SymbolKind.Method, SymbolKind.Constructor];
const docSymbols = await commands.executeCommand(
'vscode.executeDocumentSymbolProvider',
window.activeTextEditor.document.uri
) as DocumentSymbol[];
const docSymbolsFunctionsMethods = docSymbols
? docSymbols.filter(symbol => symbolsToFind.includes(symbol.kind))
: undefined;
Each Symbol provides you with a Range, which defines the start and end of the function declaration and body.
Be aware that you will probably need a recursive approach (each Symbol can contain other Symbols). A complete sample is available on my Separators extension (https://github.com/alefragnani/vscode-separators/blob/b6d515847bbaccf6395b24f9fdf82c373cb24fd7/src/symbols.ts#L51)
Is pos inside a string and if so, where does the string start & end?
Unfortunately, there is no API for that, as VS Code does not expose language tokens or the AST. So, you will have to deal with it yourself, maybe using regex.
Hope this helps

Extract text from a Wordnik API URL in Google Sheets

Can anyone explain how to import/extract a particular field from the following url into Google Sheets:
Wordnik URL
I'm guessing there is an IMPORTXML query that could do it, but it doesn't have the nodes that IMPORTXML usually uses to import that. Instead the code looks like this:
[{"mi":6.720745180909532,"gram1":"pretty","gram2":"much","wlmi":18.953166108085608},{"mi":6.650496643050408,"gram1":"pretty","gram2":"good","wlmi":18.469078820531266},{"mi":9.839004198061549,"gram1":"pretty","gram2":"darn","wlmi":17.298435816698845},{"mi":7.515791105774376,"gram1":"pretty","gram2":"cool","wlmi":15.515791105774376},{"mi":8.233704272151307,"gram1":"pretty","gram2":"impressive","wlmi":15.210984195651225}]
So if Cell A2 has the URL that produces this as the code, how do I get B2 to give me the text after "gram2" (in this case, "good", "darn", "cool" and "impressive").
Thanks

I've come up with a workaround but it is kind of messy. I'd still like an answer to the question, but for reference and in case it's of use to anyone I'll post it here:
Using =IMPORTDATA(E10) (where E10 is the cell with the URL in) gave me an array (I guess based on .csv principles) that I could then manipulate using some other tools, like regexreplace, to get at the relevant bits of text.

importing website to google sheets

I have tried searching everywhere online for a good answer but cannot seem to find anything that matches specifically what i am looking for.
When i use the IMPORTHTML function in google sheets, i end up with data that looks like:
${player.name} (${player.position}, ${team.abbrev}) ${opponent.abbrev} #${opponent_rank} ${minutes} ${pts} ${fgm}-${fga} ${ftm}-${fta} ${p3m}-${p3a} ${treb} ${ast} ${stl} ${blk} ${tov} ${pf} ${fp} $${salary} ${ratio}
the code that i am using looks like this:
=IMPORTHTML("", "table",2)
When I use the same as above (=IMPORTHTML("", "table",2)) only with "0" as my index, it pulls this:
Opp Stats
Player Team Rank Min Pts FGM/A FTM/A 3PM/A Reb Ast Stl Blk Tov Foul FP Cost Value
Basically, I am attempting to pull the table data from this website:
https://www.numberfire.com/nba/fantasy/fantasy-basketball-projections
(because of my rep i cannot post more than two links, however my IMPORTHTML function has the above link input in both functions)
into a google sheet. Please help. any feedback is much appreciated... thanks!

Best advice is to find another Web table you can import. If you do "view source" on the page, you will find that the table content is dynamically populated from a variable named NF_DATA.
You need to create a document script to extract the data you want:
function this_is_test() {
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://www.numberfire.com/nba/fantasy/fantasy-basketball-projections");
raw_content = response.getContentText();
re = new RegExp('"daily_projections":\\[[^\\]]+','i');
proj = raw_content.match(re);
Logger.log(proj);
}
It will extract all text in-between "daily_projections":[ and ], which is (as of today):

How do I Benchmark RESTful Service with Variable Parameters?

I'm currently working on benchmarking a RESTful service I've made, and part of that is making sure it runs in a reasonable amount of times for a large array of parameters. For example, let's say I have RESTful API of the form some_site.com/item?item_id=y. In that case to be sure my service is working as fast as I'd like it to work, I'd want to try out many values for y one by one, preferably coming from some text file. I can't figure out any way of doing this in ab or httperf. I'm open to using a different benchmarking program if I have, but would prefer something simple and light. What I want to do seems like something pretty standard, so I'm guessing there must already be a program that let's me do it, but an hour or so of googling hasn't gotten me an answer. Ideas?

Answer: Jmeter (which is apparently awesome). This faq explains how to do it. Hopefully this helps someone else, as it took me like a day of searching to figure this out.

I have just had some good experience with using JavaScript (via BSF/Rhino) in JMeter.
I have put one thread group in my test plan and stick a 'Simple Controller' with two elements under it - 'HTTP Request' sampler and 'BSF PreProcessor'.
Set BSF language to 'javascript' and either type the code into the text box or point it to a file (use full path or relative to CWD of JMeter process).
/* Since `Math.random()` gives us float, we use `java.util.Random()`
* see: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Random.html */
var Random = new Packages.java.util.Random();
var min = 10-1;
var max = 2;
var maxLines = (min)+Random.nextInt(max-min);
var s = '';
for (var d = 0; d <= maxLines; d++) {
s += d.toString()+','+Random.nextInt(1000).toString()+'\n';
}
// s => '0,312\n1,104\n2,608\n'
vars.put('PAYLOAD', s);
Now I can refer to ${PAYLOAD} in the HTTP request!
You can generate JSON, but you will need to upgrade jakarta-jmeter-2.5.1/lib/js-1.6R5.jar with the newest version of Rhino to get JSON.stringify and JSON.parse. That worked perfectly for me also, though I thought I'd put a simple example here.
You can use BSF pre-processor for URL params as well, just set another variable with vars.put('X', 'some value') and pass it as ${X} in the request parameter.
This blog post helped quite a bit, by the way.

Integers in TextNodes w/ Python minidom

I am working on an API using SOAP and WSDL. The WSDL expects integers to come through. I am fairly new to ALL of this, and constructing XML in Python. I have chosen to use minidom to create my SOAP message. So using minidom, to get a value into a node I found I have to do this:
weight_node = xml_file.createElement("web:Weight")
weight_contents = xml_file.createTextNode(weight)
weight_node.appendChild(weight_contents)
So say weight needs to go in as an integer and IS an integer. The function is 'createTextNode' does this mean its going to be text, or what I put in there has to be text? Again I am fairly new to all of this. So if what I have explained seems way off base, please speak up.
