Hello everyone, i hope you can help me with this query.
The code below all works fine, referring to the SUBSTRING part, at the moment it just displays all the text from the "http" part until the end of the thread.
I am trying to get it to just grab the URL and display that only. - $sql= <<< END
-
SELECT
-
post_date
-
, DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME( post_date ) , '%d-%m-%Y') AS formatted_date
-
, LEFT(title, 30) AS title
-
, post
-
, SUBSTRING(post FROM LOCATE('http://',post) FOR 200) AS url
-
FROM posts, topics
-
WHERE post LIKE '%tp:%'
-
AND topic_id = topics.tid
-
AND forum_id = 29
-
ORDER BY post_date DESC
-
LIMIT 0 , 30
-
END;
I have this as a starting guide, but dont know what i am to place where the "X" are. - SUBSTRING(post FROM LOCATE('http://',post) FOR LOCATE(' ',xxxxx)-1)
I have tried "post", "SUBSTRING" , "LOCATE", but know i am missing something
like a string, but dont know how to reference it.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks

Is there a function in python that does what "locate" does in a bash
shell?
I know I could do it by using os.popen('locate'), but I'm curious if
there's a Python "native" way to go about it. Only needs to work in
Unix, but would be interesting if it was cross-platform.
Thanks.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
