Longest samāsa in MW

[gasyoun]

Is daśa—śata—kara-dhārin mfn. thousand-rayed (the moon), the longest samāsa?

How based on https://github.com/funderburkjim/MWderivations/blob/master/compounds/compounds.txt could I count it, @funderburkjim or is this data lost an such a level?

[funderburkjim]

If we use the 'k2' field in mw_iast.txt, we may get samAsas with more padas. For instance, there appear to be 28 with 6 (or more) padas:

28 with 6 (or more) padas

Thanks, I want to add stats for each dictionary one day. Like how many in MW are:

1. 1 pada entries
2. 2 pada entries
3. 3 pada entries
4. 4 pada entries
5. 5 pada entries
6. 6 pada entries
7. 7 pada entries - no such?

Elisp Regex syntax? Could not emulate in EmEditor.

Elisp Regex syntax?

No, AFAIK, this is a 'normal' regex syntax.

Here is a python program which does the same thing:

#-*- coding:utf-8 -*-
"""filter.py

"""
from __future__ import print_function
import sys, re,codecs

if __name__=="__main__":
 filein = sys.argv[1] #  xxx.txt (path to digitization of xxx)
 fileout = sys.argv[2] # results of filter
 regexraw = "k2>.*[—-].*[—-].*[—-].*[—-].*[—-].*[—-]"
 regex = re.compile(regexraw)
 matches = []
 with codecs.open(filein,"r","utf-8") as f:
  for iline,line in enumerate(f):
   line = line.rstrip('\r\n')
   m = re.search(regex,line)
   if m != None:
    matches.append(line)
 # write the matches   
 with codecs.open(fileout,"w","utf-8") as fout:
  for line in matches:
   fout.write(line+'\n')
 print(len(matches),"matches found")

Run the program in a terminal: python filter.py mw.txt filter.txt

You get 28 matches found, and filter.txt contains the examples.

Give it a try!

Note: This program could be a model for many similar investigations, just by changing the 'regexraw'

It failed because I searched in mw.xml, I believed it's rather identical to mw.txt, which it was not in this regard. It works now in EmEditor (my default text editor) and Notepad ++ quite well with mw.txt, thanks for the hint.

These files have some funny characters in them, that are not in mw.txt

The funny characters appear to be related to the 'long dash' character in mw.txt.

Could this be an encoding problem (maybe utf-8 not in force in editor) ?

Looks like.
