/* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Written 2020, 2021 by Markus Triska (triska@metalevel.at) Part of Tau Prolog. This library provides the nonterminal format_//2 to describe formatted strings. format/[2,3] are provided for impure output. Usage: ====== phrase(format_(FormatString, Arguments), Ls) format_//2 describes a list of characters Ls that are formatted according to FormatString. FormatString is a string (i.e., a list of characters) that specifies the layout of Ls. The characters in FormatString are used literally, except for the following tokens with special meaning: ~w use the next available argument from Arguments here ~q use the next argument here, formatted as by writeq/1 ~a use the next argument here, which must be an atom ~s use the next argument here, which must be a string ~d use the next argument here, which must be an integer ~f use the next argument here, a floating point number ~Nf where N is an integer: format the float argument using N digits after the decimal point ~Nd like ~d, placing the last N digits after a decimal point; if N is 0 or omitted, no decimal point is used. ~ND like ~Nd, separating digits to the left of the decimal point in groups of three, using the character "," (comma) ~Nr where N is an integer between 2 and 36: format the next argument, which must be an integer, in radix N. The characters "a" to "z" are used for radices 10 to 36. If N is omitted, it defaults to 8 (octal). ~NR like ~Nr, except that "A" to "Z" are used for radices > 9 ~| place a tab stop at this position ~N| where N is an integer: place a tab stop at text column N ~N+ where N is an integer: place a tab stop N characters after the previous tab stop (or start of line) ~t distribute spaces evenly between the two closest tab stops ~`Ct like ~t, use character C instead of spaces to fill the space ~n newline ~Nn N newlines ~i ignore the next argument ~~ the literal ~ Instead of ~N, you can write ~* to use the next argument from Arguments as the numeric argument. The predicate format/2 is like format_//2, except that it outputs the text on the terminal instead of describing it declaratively. format/3, used as format(Stream, FormatString, Arguments), outputs the described string to the given Stream. If Stream is a binary stream, then the code of each emitted character must be in 0..255. If at all possible, format_//2 should be used, to stress pure parts that enable easy testing etc. If necessary, you can emit the list Ls with maplist(put_char, Ls) or, much faster, with format("~s", [Ls]). Ideally, however, you use phrase_to_file/[2,3] or phrase_to_stream/2 from library(pio) to write the described list directly to a file or stream, respectively: phrase_to_stream(format_(..., [...]), S). The advantage of this is that an ideal implementation writes the characters as they become known, without manifesting the list. The entire library only works if the Prolog flag double_quotes is set to chars, the default value in Scryer Prolog. This should also stay that way, to encourage a sensible environment. Example: ?- phrase(format_("~s~n~`.t~w!~12|", ["hello",there]), Cs). %@ Cs = "hello\n......there!". I place this code in the public domain. Use it in any way you want. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - */ :- module(format, [format_/4, format/2, format/3 ]). :- use_module(library(lists)). :- use_module(library(charsio)). format_(Fs, Args) --> { (is_list(Fs) -> true ; throw(error(type_error(list, Fs), format_//2))), (is_list(Args) -> true ; throw(error(type_error(list, Args), format_//2))), unique_variable_names(Args, VNs), phrase(cells(Fs,Args,0,[],VNs), Cells) }, format_cells(Cells). format_cells([]) --> []. format_cells([Cell|Cells]) --> format_cell(Cell), format_cells(Cells). format_cell(newline) --> "\n". format_cell(cell(From,To,Es)) --> % distribute the space between the glue elements { phrase(elements_gluevars(Es, 0, Length), Vs), ( Vs = [] -> true ; Space is To - From - Length, ( Space =< 0 -> maplist(=(0), Vs) ; length(Vs, NumGlue), Distr is Space // NumGlue, Delta is Space - Distr*NumGlue, ( Delta =:= 0 -> maplist(=(Distr), Vs) ; BigGlue is Distr + Delta, reverse(Vs, [BigGlue|Rest]), maplist(=(Distr), Rest) ) ) ) }, format_elements(Es). format_elements([]) --> []. format_elements([E|Es]) --> format_element(E), format_elements(Es). format_element(chars(Cs)) --> seq(Cs). format_element(glue(Fill,Num)) --> { length(Ls, Num), maplist(=(Fill), Ls) }, seq(Ls). elements_gluevars([], N, N) --> []. elements_gluevars([E|Es], N0, N) --> element_gluevar(E, N0, N1), elements_gluevars(Es, N1, N). element_gluevar(chars(Cs), N0, N) --> { length(Cs, L), N is N0 + L }. element_gluevar(glue(_,V), N, N) --> [V]. /* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Our key datastructure is a list of cells and newlines. A cell has the shape cell(From,To,Elements), where From and To denote the positions of surrounding tab stops. Elements is a list of elements that occur in a cell, namely terms of the form chars(Cs) and glue(Char, Var). "glue" elements (TeX terminology) are evenly stretched to fill the remaining whitespace in the cell. For each glue element, the character Char is used for filling, and Var is a free variable that is used when the available space is distributed. newline is used if ~n occurs in a format string. It is used because a newline character does not consume whitespace in the sense of format strings. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - */ cells([], Args, Tab, Es, _) --> !, ( { Args == [] } -> cell(Tab, Tab, Es) ; { throw(error(domain_error(empty_list, Args), cells//5)) } ). cells([~,~|Fs], Args, Tab, Es, VNs) --> !, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [chars("~")|Es], VNs). cells([~,w|Fs], [Arg|Args], Tab, Es, VNs) --> !, { write_term_to_chars(Arg, [numbervars(true),variable_names(VNs)], Chars) }, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [chars(Chars)|Es], VNs). cells([~,q|Fs], [Arg|Args], Tab, Es, VNs) --> !, { write_term_to_chars(Arg, [quoted(true),numbervars(true),variable_names(VNs)], Chars) }, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [chars(Chars)|Es], VNs). cells([~,a|Fs], [Arg|Args], Tab, Es, VNs) --> !, { atom_chars(Arg, Chars) }, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [chars(Chars)|Es], VNs). cells([~|Fs0], Args0, Tab, Es, VNs) --> { numeric_argument(Fs0, Num, [d|Fs], Args0, [Arg0|Args]) }, !, { Arg is Arg0, % evaluate compound expression (integer(Arg) -> true ; throw(error(type_error(integer, Arg), cells//5))), number_chars(Arg, Cs0) }, ( { Num =:= 0 } -> { Cs = Cs0 } ; { length(Cs0, L), ( L =< Num -> Delta is Num - L, length(Zs, Delta), maplist(=('0'), Zs), phrase(("0.",seq(Zs),seq(Cs0)), Cs) ; BeforeComma is L - Num, length(Bs, BeforeComma), append(Bs, Ds, Cs0), phrase((seq(Bs),".",seq(Ds)), Cs) ) } ), cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [chars(Cs)|Es], VNs). cells([~|Fs0], Args0, Tab, Es, VNs) --> { numeric_argument(Fs0, Num, ['D'|Fs], Args0, [Arg|Args]) }, !, { number_chars(Num, NCs), phrase(("~",seq(NCs),"d"), FStr), phrase(format_(FStr, [Arg]), Cs0), phrase(upto_what(Bs0, .), Cs0, Ds), reverse(Bs0, Bs1), phrase(groups_of_three(Bs1), Bs2), reverse(Bs2, Bs), append(Bs, Ds, Cs) }, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [chars(Cs)|Es], VNs). cells([~,i|Fs], [_|Args], Tab, Es, VNs) --> !, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, Es, VNs). cells([~,n|Fs], Args, Tab, Es, VNs) --> !, cell(Tab, Tab, Es), n_newlines(1), cells(Fs, Args, 0, [], VNs). cells([~|Fs0], Args0, Tab, Es, VNs) --> { numeric_argument(Fs0, Num, [n|Fs], Args0, Args) }, !, cell(Tab, Tab, Es), n_newlines(Num), cells(Fs, Args, 0, [], VNs). cells([~,s|Fs], [Arg|Args], Tab, Es, VNs) --> !, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [chars(Arg)|Es], VNs). cells([~,f|Fs], [Arg|Args], Tab, Es, VNs) --> !, { format_number_chars(Arg, Chars) }, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [chars(Chars)|Es], VNs). cells([~|Fs0], Args0, Tab, Es, VNs) --> { numeric_argument(Fs0, Num, [f|Fs], Args0, [Arg|Args]) }, !, { format_number_chars(Arg, Cs0), phrase(upto_what(Bs, .), Cs0, Cs), ( Num =:= 0 -> Chars = Bs ; ( Cs = ['.'|Rest] -> length(Rest, L), ( Num < L -> length(Ds, Num), append(Ds, _, Rest) ; Num =:= L -> Ds = Rest ; Num > L, Delta is Num - L, % we should look into the float with % greater accuracy here, and use the % actual digits instead of 0. length(Zs, Delta), maplist(=('0'), Zs), append(Rest, Zs, Ds) ) ; length(Ds, Num), maplist(=('0'), Ds) ), append(Bs, ['.'|Ds], Chars) ) }, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [chars(Chars)|Es], VNs). cells([~,r|Fs], Args, Tab, Es, VNs) --> !, cells([~,'8',r|Fs], Args, Tab, Es, VNs). cells([~|Fs0], Args0, Tab, Es, VNs) --> { numeric_argument(Fs0, Num, [r|Fs], Args0, [Arg|Args]) }, !, { integer_to_radix(Arg, Num, lowercase, Cs) }, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [chars(Cs)|Es], VNs). cells([~,'R'|Fs], Args, Tab, Es, VNs) --> !, cells([~,'8','R'|Fs], Args, Tab, Es, VNs). cells([~|Fs0], Args0, Tab, Es, VNs) --> { numeric_argument(Fs0, Num, ['R'|Fs], Args0, [Arg|Args]) }, !, { integer_to_radix(Arg, Num, uppercase, Cs) }, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [chars(Cs)|Es], VNs). cells([~,'`',Char,t|Fs], Args, Tab, Es, VNs) --> !, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [glue(Char,_)|Es], VNs). cells([~,t|Fs], Args, Tab, Es, VNs) --> !, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [glue(' ',_)|Es], VNs). cells([~,'|'|Fs], Args, Tab0, Es, VNs) --> !, { phrase(elements_gluevars(Es, 0, Width), _), Tab is Tab0 + Width }, cell(Tab0, Tab, Es), cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [], VNs). cells([~|Fs0], Args0, Tab, Es, VNs) --> { numeric_argument(Fs0, Num, ['|'|Fs], Args0, Args) }, !, cell(Tab, Num, Es), cells(Fs, Args, Num, [], VNs). cells([~|Fs0], Args0, Tab0, Es, VNs) --> { numeric_argument(Fs0, Num, [+|Fs], Args0, Args) }, !, { Tab is Tab0 + Num }, cell(Tab0, Tab, Es), cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [], VNs). cells([~|Cs], Args, _, _, _) --> ( { Args == [] } -> { throw(error(domain_error(non_empty_list, []), cells//5)) } ; { throw(error(domain_error(format_string, [~|Cs]), cells//5)) } ). cells(Fs0, Args, Tab, Es, VNs) --> { phrase(upto_what(Fs1, ~), Fs0, Fs), Fs1 = [_|_] }, cells(Fs, Args, Tab, [chars(Fs1)|Es], VNs). format_number_chars(N0, Chars) :- N is N0, % evaluate compound expression number_chars(N, Chars). n_newlines(0) --> !. n_newlines(N0) --> { N0 > 0, N is N0 - 1 }, [newline], n_newlines(N). /* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ?- phrase(upto_what(Cs, ~), "abc~test", Rest).
