[libreoffice-users] Importing CSV file into Calc with records determined by the number of field separators instead of Line Feeds

2016-04-10 Thread Philip Rhoades

People,

I need to import a CSV dump from an Android SMS Sqlite DB - the problem 
is, many of the SMSs have line breaks in the text body of the DB record 
and this messes up the import into Calc.  There does not seem to be any 
way of saying to Calc: "Count x fields for each record" instead of 
recognising a record by a LF . .


Can anyone think of a nice, easy fix for this problem?

Thanks,

Phil.

[libreoffice-users] Simple Neural Network idea for Calc

2016-04-10 Thread Philip Rhoades

People,

I have an idea which I hope will help me understand Neural Networks 
better - and I wonder if anyone who understands NNs would be interested 
in helping me to get a shared Google spreadsheet of a very simple NN 
going.  For example the SS could have:


- two input nodes

- three hidden nodes

- one output node

all represented on a block of lines where I can copy this block to 
another block directly below the first block - representing each 
iteration of a loop in a program - then I can see easily by direct 
comparison what happens to the set of numbers with each iteration (ie 
each copied block).


What do people think?  Is this doable?  I looked around and found some 
Excel example NNs but I don't think they will import into Google Calc - 
and it would be better for my understanding to do it from scratch anyway 
. .


If we could get it going, it would be Open Source of course and it might 
be useful for other people who want to understand NNs by looking at a 
simple example in a familiar environment?


Thanks,

Phil.

humbly suggest that you might benefit from a lesson in common courtesy
and respect, which all men and women are due, regardless of their

find inappropriate.



Irrelevant - the OP was proselytising and offensive by posting a sermon 
which she shouldn't have - that needed to be pointed out.




Sadly, your insistence on belaboring this by insulting everyone who
suggests a more tolerant approach, lacks such common courtesy.



No discourtesy, just making the point that needed to be made and then 
responding to other ignorant and delusional people who feel compelled to 
"defend" someone else's sky fairy proselytisation because a logical 
attack on one sky fairy is an attack on all sky fairies . .




Speaking more pragmatically, I find it ironically interesting that, in
defending your position, you draw even more attention to the very
proselytizing to which you object, by quoting, in full, Nasrim's
original message (which I had long forgot).



"Forgot" (BTW, it should be "forgotten") or preferred to ignore? - it 
was clearly a sermon and could NOT, in any reasonable sense, be called a 
signature . . you are desperately trying to avoid dealing with that fact 
. .




Were I you, I might label
such a tactic, "clueless."



However, I know you don't know how to use English very well so I 
understand your inability to put forward rational arguments . .




But, I'm not, so I won't for even you

That sentence doesn't make sense . . but I can translate what you are

Then you don't understand Science (why am I still not surprised?) -

are claimed but can't be proved false are superstitions - nothing to do 
with tolerance.  However, it is true, I have no tolerance for people who

thousands of years of evidence to the contrary, and proselytise their

Anyone who thinks
that everyone who disagrees with their own belief is "clueless" seems
to me to be scarily arrogant, to me.



Don't put words into my mouth - I did not say that - I said you were 
clueless because of your statements - I stand by what I said and you 
have only added to this conviction since.  See above re Science.




But that is just my own personal
belief and i'd probably defend individuals who felt the need to
postulate alternatives, in a discussion (but preferably not on this
mailing list because, as we all seem to agree, this is probably not
the place for it).



About time!  Why didn't you say that in the first place?

Phil, i know you think you probably think you are just an atheist and
acting reasonably but this topic didn't arise in all the years that we

discussion only arose after the only Islamic quote in all these years.



It certainly was not the first - but it should be the last.



This has happened at a time when it's popular to attack Muslims for
their faith, and for the stereotypes pushed out by mainstream media to
demonise and vilify Muslims.

Ridiculing religions in general might seem reasonable but choosing to
do so right now, only after the first Islamic quote in a signature and
not in any of the previous several years of Christian quotes (and
hundreds of them) is Islamaphobic.



No, superstitionphobic . .



It has been good to see people on this mailing-list increasingly make

even people who don't understand or don't agree with Islam.  In my
opinion standing with someone who seems to be being given a hard-time

opportunistic pot-shots that are



People should not be proselytising on this list - period.  To hijack my

more proselytising (by anyone) . . it is inappropriate and offensive and 
should not be condoned or encouraged.

Chill, Phil.

I can't believe the level of antagonism coming through your keyboard.
I'm "clueless" for not knowing Nasrin's gender? Harsh, man. While I
have many contacts with Muslims from around the world, I had never
heard the name Nasrin before and recalled nothing in her emails that
betrayed her gender.

If choosing to love people, regardless of my knowledge of their
gender, is an agenda, then I suppose I have an agenda. I'm genuinely
surprised that my decision to love a Muslim I've never met upsets you
so much that you feel it necessary to accuse me of having "low general
knowledge" and being "clueless." Where does such a miserable world
view come from?



Just observation - you believe in sky fairies and supporting others who 
are attacked for proselytising their sky fairies because an attack on 
one sky fairy is an attack on all sky fairies . .




I won't use the LO list to advance my views of Christianity.



Good - and others should not use it to advance their superstitions 
either.




I use
other lists for that, where it is admittedly more appropriate. But, I
reserve the right to come to the defense of another who has been
unfairly attacked for what she happened to put in her signature line.
(I'll blindly accept your assertion that Nasrin is female.)  I felt
your attack unwarranted and unworthy of a gentlemen, regardless of
your religious views.



Well if you weren't clueless (which is not consistent with you believing 
in fairy stories) you would have realised by now that I don't have any 
and that I don't approve of others proselytising on this list . .


P.


Sorry, Tom, I had to respond to Phil, and I felt I had to do it on 
list.


I'll let it go, now.

How naive are you?  Of course it is proselytising! - why else would that 
sort of nonsense be in a signature?  All superstitious and political 
organisations depend on increasing their numbers, otherwise they die as 
organisations - it is just marketing - and it is objectionable.




or to
demean another's faith, as Phil's diatribe does.



My "diatribe" is just as valid and provable as Nasrim's diatribe or 
nonsense . .




In my opinion, Nasrin has a perfect right to express his personal
beliefs anywhere he chooses, including on this list, if it is not the
subject of the post.



I think you will find Nasrim is a "she" - so much for your general 
knowledge - but I am not surprised . . it is as useful as your opinion .

Since it appears that it is OK to proselytise on this list I will tell
you about MY God - who is better than your gods (since your gods don't
really exist):

MY God is Jibbers Crabst and was revealed to the world in a great
sermon by the Muchly High Priest and First Prophet, Matt Inman:

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ_BtZ-5O60

Jibbers is a fire-breathing lobster who lives behind the rings of
Saturn.  Jibbers is THE ONE TRUE GOD and replaces all previous false
gods.  Everyone who is believer in other false gods should immediately
repent of their mistaken beliefs and adore and commit their lives to
Jibbers - our Lord and Saviour.

The Yankee People are the chosen people of Jibbers (see the sermon for
details - I am Australian BTW but that does not affect my belief in
Jibbers as the ONE TRUE GOD) and will dwell forever in The House of
Jibbers.

If you do not see the light and immediately switch your belief from
your false gods to Jibbers, the soldiers and children of Jibbers,
giant Bombardier Beetles, will rise up and send flaming balls down all
of your unbelieving throats for the rest of eternity!  After that
eternity, giant Brazilian Wandering Spiders will inject you all with
venom that will cause more pain than is imaginable for another
eternity!

So Nasrin, and others, repent of your erroneous faiths and before it
is too late, pledge your lives to the ONE TRUE GOD - Jibbers Crabst!
and be saved from eternal pain and damnation!  and live with Jibbers
forever around the most beautiful planet in the Solar system!

Have a nice day.

Phil.

The beauty of the free world is that everyone is free to speak their
mind. You are free to think and proclaim that religion is
superstition, and others are free to think and proclaim God's mercy.

His words are in the "signature"; ignore them if you want to, but do
not despise them by judgmental words, but respect the other human
being who who wants to be known by these words.

Greetings,



OK, so this list is "anything goes" then - great!  Here is some stuff

their time on than ghosts and goblins:

[libreoffice-users] Re: Remove all paragraph and other formatting except for character attributes eg italics, bold etc

You cannot remove page and paragraph formatting, since every page and
every paragraph has to have some format or other. But you can reset
these to some other value or default.

The only page formatting in a Writer document is page style formatting,
so you need just to modify the page style(s) in your document or to
apply a suitable page style - perhaps Default - to all your material.
Open the Styles and Formatting window, put the cursor in turn into each
range of pages with a particular style, and double-click the Default
style on the Page Styles panel.

Your paragraph formatting may be paragraph formatting or paragraph 
style

formatting, but resetting paragraph style formatting seems to trump
paragraph formatting, so is all you need to attend to. Open the Styles
and Formatting window, select all the material, and double-click the
Default style on the Paragraph Styles panel.

I trust this helps.



Thanks for that info - it did help - I am producing short stories 
consisting of standard paragraphs for inserting into a templated xhtml 
file - so I need to get rid of most of the formatting.  What I have 
ended up doing is:


- Use your method to get rid of some of the junk from submitted short 
stories

- Export to an xhtml file
- Use pandoc to convert to Markdown file format (which removes the rest 
of the junk I don't need)
- Use pandoc to convert back to an xhtml file format which is almost 
ready to insert into the xhtml template


Regards,

Phil.

If you hit CTRL+H (find&replace) and expand the 'other options', you
can check the 'Regular expressions'

When searching for 'one|two|three', you will find all occurrences of
'one', 'two' or 'three'.

When something is found, you can click in the document to change what
you like. When ready the 'find' button will find the next thing.



Perfect!

Thanks,

Phil.

[libreoffice-users] Bar chart extending from a low to a high value?

2014-04-05 Thread Philip Rhoades

People,

I want to create a chart from a table that has just a low and a high 
value for each category - so each end of the bar, for each category, 
corresponds to the low or the high value for that category - this does 
not look possible as far as I can see?


Thanks,

Phil.

Perfect!

Many thanks - I would never have had time to work all that out . .

Is it possible to cause this macro to run when the file is saved (ie as 
the normal ODT file NOT when exported)?  I guess what I am asking is: 
are the menu functions accessible from/to macros?


Thanks,
