In a matlab script, I'm generating a latex table. A part of that table for example looks likes this.
\multirow{2}{*}{\textbf{b1}}
&
2 & 3 & 10092 & 10763 & 103390 & 2797 & 2929 & 3008 & 5\% & 8\% \\
& 4 & 2 & 20184 & 10763 & 74508 & 1830 & 1970 & 2029 & 8\% & 11\% \\
This string is saved in variable str. Now when I try to write str to a file by using the following code.
f = fopen( 'report\results.tex', 'w' );
fprintf( f, str );
fclose(f);
I get the following warning.
Warning: Invalid escape sequence appears in format string.
See help sprintf for valid escape sequences.
That is probably due to many backslash characters in my string, which is used as escape sequence. Now how can I print this string to a file as it is.
escape the backslashes and percent signs:
str = strrep(str,'\','\\');
str = strrep(str,'%','%%');
If it's just text your printing, this'll be fine.
Minimal working example:
str = '2 & 3 & 10092 & 10763 & 103390 & 2797 & 2929 & 3008 & 5\% & 8\% \\'
str = strrep(str,'\','\\');
str = strrep(str,'%','%%');
f=fopen('testing123.txt','w');
fprintf(f,str);
fclose(f);
and the file reads:
2 & 3 & 10092 & 10763 & 103390 & 2797 & 2929 & 3008 & 5\% & 8\% \\
OR as Ben A. suggests, use fwrite:
fwrite(f,str)
and I think
fprintf(f,'%s',str)
will also do the trick, and it's best to also include a newline:
fprintf(f,'%s\n',str)

I'm having an issue where at certain points using the \hline function creates an error and instead displays the word "height" where there should be a line. This is happening only when I use an /hline immediately after using a \input{".../filename.tex"} command in a tabular environment. Interestingly, though, adding an \hline to the last row of the file I am importing produces an \hline properly. Does anyone have an idea why this may be the case and what I can do to fix it so that I can add the \hline to the main file and not the files I'm importing. Note that I use TexMaker and MiKTeX
Here are some examples of my code that doesn't work:
\documentclass{12pt, english}{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{tocvsec2}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{subfloat}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{tabulary}
\usepackage{tabu}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\caption{Caption} \label{tab:label} \centering
\begin{tabular}{lccc}
\hline
\import{".../filename.tex"}
\hline
\end{tabular}
\begin{minipage}{0.95}
Notes are here
\end{minipage}
\end{table}
\end{document}
where filename.tex looks like this (with nothing else):
& Mean & SD & N \\
\midrule
Var 1 & 1 & 0 & 1000 \\
Var 2 & 1 & 0 & 1000 \\
Var 3 & 1 & 0 & 1000 \\
Var 4 & 1 & 0 & 1000 \\
Var 5 & 1 & 0 & 1000 \\
When I move the last \hline to the end of filname.tex, however, it works fine.
You can use the same trick as in https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/50700/36296
Other problems:
the syntax \documentclass{12pt, english}{article} is wrong
the booktabs package is missing
missing unit in \begin{minipage}{0.95}
you really, really, really shouldn't use the tabu package, it is more or less completely broken
don't load the same package multiple times

I want to display some Latex output in a messagebox.
The Latex is this:
\left|\begin{array}{l}
u_{tt}=5u_{xx},\quad t>0,\quad 0<x<7 \\
\left.u\right|_{t=0} = \left\{\begin{array}{ll}
\arctan{\left[\left(x^2-11x+30\right)^2\right]}, & x\in[5,6] \\
0, & x\in[0,5)\cup(6,7]
\end{array}\right. \\
\left.u_t\right|_{t=0}=0,\quad 0\leq x\leq7 \\
\left.u_x\right|_{x=0}=0,\quad \left.u_x\right|_{x=7}=0\,\quad t\geq 0\\
\end{array}\right.
I tried this but it's not working:
CreateStruct.Interpreter = 'tex';
CreateStruct.WindowStyle = 'modal';
h = msgbox("\left|\begin{array}{l}"...
"u_{tt}=5u_{xx},\quad t>0,\quad 0<x<7 \\"...
"\left.u\right|_{t=0} = \left\{\begin{array}{ll}"...
"\arctan{\left[\left(x^2-11x+30\right)^2\right]}, & x\in[5,6] \\"...
"0, & x\in[0,5)\cup(6,7]"...
"\end{array}\right. \\"...
"\left.u_t\right|_{t=0}=0,\quad 0\leq x\leq7 \\"...
"\left.u_x\right|_{x=0}=0,\quad \left.u_x\right|_{x=7}=0\,\quad t\geq 0\\"...
"\end{array}\right.","Task",CreateStruct);
Am I doing something wrong or it's just impossible to put such complicated code in a messagebox? It seems that msgbox does not support multiline strings as arguments.
I have a VBScript that calls powershell.exe using the Shell object's Exec method.
For the purpose of the question, I have extracted the troublesome bit of code from my script and simplified it.
The expected outcome of the script below is that PowerShell's Write-Host cmdlet will print the following:
Please save the file to "C:\test"
But the actual result is this:
Please save the file to C:\test"
The initial double quote surrounding the file path is missing.
Option Explicit
Dim strPsCommand, ps, objShell, objExec
Dim strStdOut, strStdErr
Dim strStringToPrint
strStringToPrint = "$text = #'" & vbCrLf & "Please save the file to ""C:\test\""" & vbCrLf & "'#"
strPsCommand = strStringToPrint & "; Write-Host $text"
ps = "powershell.exe -Command " & strPsCommand
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objExec = objShell.Exec(ps)
' Close standard input before reading standard output.
objExec.StdIn.Close()
strStdOut = objExec.StdOut.ReadAll()
strStdErr = objExec.StdErr.ReadAll()
WScript.Echo strStdOut
WScript.Echo strStdErr
The code above uses a here-string (which is best suited for my script). However I have tried substituting this for a regular string but the result is the same. To do this, I changed the value of strStringToPrint as follows:
strStringToPrint = "$text = 'Please save the file to " & """" & "C:\test\" & """" & "'"
You need to escape the double quotes around the path twice:
for VBScript
for the commandline (the Exec call)
The former is done by doubling the double quotes. For the latter you need backslashes. You already have a backslash before the double quotes after the path (although probably unintentional), but not before the double quotes before the path.
Change this:
strStringToPrint = "$text = #'" & vbCrLf & "Please save the file to ""C:\test\""" & vbCrLf & "'#"
into this:
strStringToPrint = "$text = #'" & vbCrLf & "Please save the file to \""C:\test\""" & vbCrLf & "'#"
or this (if you want the trailing backslash in the path):
strStringToPrint = "$text = #'" & vbCrLf & "Please save the file to \""C:\test\\\""" & vbCrLf & "'#"
I want to create something like this in MS Word by MathType 6.9
The code that I'm using is:

It's perfect when used in LaTeX and gives the following pdf result:
but unfortunately when I try to copy and paste the code between \begin{document} and \end{document} in MathType to create the same expression in word, I get the result:
It seems that MathType doesn't parse the codes \begin{aligned}[t] and \end{aligned} and as you know these are just amsmath packages code.
Do you know of any way -modifying the code or mathtype settings- to solve this problem?
Or do you have another suggestion to embed Latex equation into MS Word 2010?
Here is a toned-down version of your construction that doesn't use aligned:

T_4 &= \langle \underline{k}\,.\,\underline{k}^{*^T} \rangle=

k_2k_1^* & |k_2|^2 & k_2k_3^* & k_2k_4^* \\
k_3k_1^* & k_3k_2^* & |k_3|^2 & k_3k_4^* \\
k_4k_1^* & k_4k_2^* & k_4k_3^* & |k_4|^2
\end{bmatrix}

It's not possible to test this without access to MathType. So, while the above doesn't use aligned, you may have to remove some commands that are unknown to MathType.
I'm writing a compiler for my won computer language. Now before the language can be compiled i actually need to replace all apostrophes (') with percents (%) via a command-line vbs program. But the apostrophes only need to be replaced if there is NOT a circumflex accent (^) in front of it. So for example, in this code:
color 0a
input twelve = 0a "hi! that^'s great! "
execute :testfornum 'twelve'
exit
:testfornum
if numeric('1) (
return
) ELSE (
print 0a "oops 'twelve' should be numeric"
)
return
the apostrophe at line 2 should not be replaced, but the ones at line 3, 6 and 9 should be.
can anyone help me?
this is what i have so far:
'syntax: (cscript) replace.vbs [filename] "StringToFind" "stringToReplace"
Option Explicit
Dim FileScriptingObject, file, strReplace, strReplacement, fileD, lastContainment, newContainment
file=Wscript.arguments(0)
strReplace=WScript.arguments(1)
strReplacement=WScript.arguments(2)
Set FileScriptingObject=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if FileScriptingObject.FileExists(file) = false then
wscript.echo "File not found!"
wscript.Quit
end if
set fileD=fileScriptingobject.OpenTextFile(file,1)
lastContainment=fileD.ReadAll
newContainment=replace(lastContainment,strReplace,strReplacement,1,-1,0)
set fileD=fileScriptingobject.OpenTextFile(file,2)
fileD.Write newContainment
fileD.Close
As #Ansgar's solution fails for the special case of a leading ' (no non-^ before that), here is an approach that uses a replace function in a test script that makes further experiments easy:
Option Explicit
Function fpR(m, g1, g2, p, s)
If "" = g1 Then
fpR = "%"
Else
fpR = m
End If
End Function
Function qq(s)
qq = """" & s & """"
End Function
Dim rE : Set rE = New RegExp
rE.Global = True
rE.Pattern = "(\^)?(')"
Dim rA : Set rA = New RegExp
rA.Global = True
rA.Pattern = "([^^])'"
'rA.Pattern = "([^^])?'"
Dim s
For Each s In Split(" 'a^'b' a'b'^'c nix a^''b")
WScript.Echo qq(s), "==>", qq(rE.Replace(s, GetRef("fpR"))), "==>", qq(rA.Replace(s, "$1%"))
Next
output:
cscript 25221565.vbs
"" ==> "" ==> ""
"'a^'b'" ==> "%a^'b%" ==> "'a^'b%" <=== oops
"a'b'^'c" ==> "a%b%^'c" ==> "a%b%^'c"
"nix" ==> "nix" ==> "nix"
"a^''b" ==> "a^'%b" ==> "a^'%b"
You can't do this with a normal string replacement. A regular expression would work, though:
...
Set re = New RegExp
re.Pattern = "(^|[^^])'"
re.Global = True
newContainment = re.Replace(lastContainment, "$1%")
...
