How many ‘POWER’ commands in the irdb ? #41

Closed nodecentral closed 3 years ago

nodecentral commented 3 years ago

Hi

How many ‘POWER’ commands are there for all the devices listed in the irdb ? I’ve tried to create a script to check all the .csv files, and it looks like I’ve found 120 ? Does that sound right to you ?

From a cloned repository, in top directory:

$ grep   -r -i  power  codes | sort -u | wc -l
3021

Ok, thanks I’m way off then, :-)

It seems the on/off power command is recorded in the .csv files in many different formats, i.e "POWER", “Power", "Quick Power", "PowerOn", "PowerOff", "power" - uppercase, lowercase you name it, but the word power seems to be consistently used.

Is there a magic regex or something that will find every possible variation ?

bengtmartensson commented 3 years ago

For example, the given command matches everything that contains "power", ignoring case. This should do what you want. The magic is missing though; you have to add that yourself ;-).

Many thanks I’m trying to find the magic ;-) , but sadly working with Lua, it doesn’t seem quite so straight forward :-)

The following is the closest I’ve got so far,

if string.match(func_name, "POWER")

687 now found..

Questions about Lua programming are off-topic here. The original questing has been answered. Therefore closing.
