excel - Get the nth word or the last word if apporopriate -

-

i using great little piece of code pull names out of 1 cell , separate them separate cells. number of names varies , such need automate as possible.

i using following macro:

function get_word(text_string string, nth_word) string     dim lwordcount long      application.worksheetfunction         lwordcount = len(text_string) - len(.substitute(text_string, " ", "")) + 1          if isnumeric(nth_word)             nth_word = nth_word - 1             get_word = mid(mid(mid(.substitute(text_string, " ", "^", nth_word), 1, 256), _                 .find("^", .substitute(text_string, " ", "^", nth_word)), 256), 2, _                 .find(" ", mid(mid(.substitute(text_string, " ", "^", nth_word), 1, 256), _                 .find("^", .substitute(text_string, " ", "^", nth_word)), 256)) - 2)          elseif nth_word = "first"             get_word = left(text_string, .find(" ", text_string) - 1)          elseif nth_word = "last"             get_word = mid(.substitute(text_string, " ", "^", len(text_string) - _                 len(.substitute(text_string, " ", ""))), .find("^", .substitute(text_string, " ", "^", _                 len(text_string) - len(.substitute(text_string, " ", "")))) + 1, 256)          end if     end  end function

i can specify word goes column (e.g. get_word(j2, 4)).

unfortunately have hit snag, if specific word last word in cell not extracted unless specify ( e.g. get_word(j2, "last")). making tricky , mean have go through cells individually.

what love know if there way change vba script above in excel can specify want 4th word or "last" word if case.

you try this:

function get_word(text_string string, nth_word) string     dim vwords     dim lwordcount long      vwords = split(text_string, " ")      lwordcount = ubound(vwords) + 1      if isnumeric(nth_word)         if nth_word < 1 nth_word = 1         if nth_word > lwordcount nth_word = lwordcount         get_word = vwords(nth_word - 1)     elseif nth_word = "first"          get_word = vwords(0)      elseif nth_word = "last"          get_word = vwords(lwordcount - 1)     end if  end function

if want nothing if pass large value:

function get_word(text_string string, nth_word) string     dim vwords     dim lwordcount long      vwords = split(text_string, " ")      lwordcount = ubound(vwords) + 1      if isnumeric(nth_word)         if nth_word > lwordcount           get_word = ""         else          if nth_word < 1 nth_word = 1           get_word = vwords(nth_word - 1)         end if     elseif nth_word = "first"          get_word = vwords(0)      elseif nth_word = "last"          get_word = vwords(lwordcount - 1)     end if  end function

you can still use =get_word(a1,"last") if want, if use =get_word(a1,3) , there 2 words, you'll empty string back.

C# random value from dictionary and tuple -

-
i have following code, , need random item contains string "region_1" dictionary. public static dictionary<int, tuple<string, int, currencytype>> itemarray = new dictionary<int, tuple<string, int, currencytype>>() { { 0xb3e, new tuple<string, int, currencytype>("region_1", 1500, currencytype.fame) } }; public static int generateitemid(string shopid) { var generateditem = itemarray.elementat(new random().next(0, itemarray.count)).key; } how select this? it's not possible efficiently... first create static random @ class level... prevent non-random behaviour if run query on short period of time... (it's seeded discrete clock) static random rnd = new random(); then: var item = itemarray.values .where(t => t.item1 == shopid) .orderby(_ => rnd.next()) .firstordefault()

cgi - How do I interpret URLs without extension as files rather than missing directories in nginx? -

-
so i'm trying install zoneminder , have run under nginx, has few compiled files need run using fast-cgi. these files lack extension. if file has extension, there no issue , nginx interprets file , return 404 if can't find it. if has no extension, assume it's directory , return 404 when can't find sort of index page. here have now: # security camera domain. server { listen 888; server_name mydomain.com; root /srv/http/zm; # enable php support. include php.conf; location / { index index.html index.htm index.php; } # enable cgi support. location ~ ^/cgi-bin/(.+)$ { alias /srv/cgi-bin/zm/; fastcgi_pass unix:/run/fcgiwrap.sock; fastcgi_param script_filename $document_root/$1; include fastcgi.conf; } } the idea is, under cgi-bin directory goes through fastcgi pipe. any idea on howi can fix this? upon closer inspection, realized zoneminder has 2 cgi sc...
