Thank you for posting this tutorial. The back stablizer is the trick to making this block lay neat. I have tried paper, and was not to successful with the finished block. This is a good project to start if time allows only to make a block or two in short sewing intervals. Love the scrappy look it gives!
Dear Lori,
I love doing string blocks and Have been doing them just as you have shown for a long time. I find it so relaxing, especially after finishing up a more intricate pattern. Sometimes I want to just sit and sew without much thinking involved.lol but Since I love scrap quilts these are so much fun to make
Thanks for sharing yours, Your fabrics are so pretty.
Cheers,
maggie
I am new to melty blood and fighting game in general, as MBTL is my first anima fighter. I love the game and its mechanics but I am also so bad at them. In online matches, I found myself attacking them while they were blocking and I got punished. I know there is stuff like stagger pressure and block-string in these type of game, but I keep finding myself unable to do it. So, any tips on how to attack while the opponent is blocking but you still in a situation where you don't get punished for attacking? Thank you
Text blocks often come with additional features, such that the first and last newline isn't part of the string. And the position of the triple quote in the source code delineate the beginning of the lines in the quote. Thus the above code prints:
While text blocks are neat visually, as they have nice alignment in the source code. They are whitespace dependent, and Clojure up to now is a whitespace independent language, meaning whitespace does not matter. I think it would be best to keep it that way. Thus the next two suggestions.
A follow-up to that would be if I can also have this iRule display the blocking page with a SupportID. I would like those testing to be able to have visual confirmation to see it worked and so they can easily share it with others.
Above answer is correct, use phase:1. You can also use the "@contains" partial string match operator to stop a request that has the unwanted string as part of a longer string. For example, I don't have word press, so when I get requests for wp-login, wp-admin, etc., I can block them all with one rule:SecRule REQUEST_URI "@contains wp-" "id:101,phase:1,deny,status:409,msg:'Denied'"
Only thing i can think of is:
There are holes on one side of the block, at least on the ones i always had. When you loosen the screw just a bit, the blocks become loose and the strings go out, but the block wont fall off because part of the screw is still in the hole. If your blocks fall off, you might have turned the screw too much.
Add text blocks to the Java language. A text block is a multi-line string literal that avoids the need for most escape sequences, automatically formats the string in a predictable way, and gives the developer control over the format when desired.
Text blocks were proposed by JEP 355 in early 2019 as a follow-on to explorations begun in JEP 326 (Raw String Literals), which was initially targeted to JDK 12 but eventually withdrawn and did not appear in that release. JEP 355 was targeted to JDK 13 in June 2019 as a preview feature. Feedback on JDK 13 suggested that text blocks should be previewed again in JDK 14, with the addition of two new escape sequences. Consequently, JEP 368 was targeted to JDK 14 in November 2019 as a preview feature. Feedback on JDK 14 suggested that text blocks were ready to become final and permanent in JDK 15 with no further changes.
Text blocks do not directly support string interpolation. Interpolation may be considered in a future JEP. In the meantime, the new instance method String::formatted aids in situations where interpolation might be desired.
More generally, the need to denote short, medium, and long blocks of text in a Java program is near universal, whether the text is code from other programming languages, structured text representing golden files, or messages in natural languages. On the one hand, the Java language recognizes this need by allowing strings of unbounded size and content; on the other hand, it embodies a design default that strings should be small enough to denote on a single line of a source file (surrounded by " characters), and simple enough to escape easily. This design default is at odds with the large number of Java programs where strings are too long to fit comfortably on a single line.
Accordingly, it would improve both the readability and the writability of a broad class of Java programs to have a linguistic mechanism for denoting strings more literally than a string literal -- across multiple lines and without the visual clutter of escapes. In essence, a two-dimensional block of text, rather than a one-dimensional sequence of characters.
Still, it is impossible to predict the role of every string in Java programs. Just because a string spans multiple lines of source code does not mean that newline characters are desirable in the string. One part of a program may be more readable when strings are laid out over multiple lines, but the embedded newline characters may change the behavior of another part of the program. Accordingly, it would be helpful if the developer had precise control over where newlines appear, and, as a related matter, how much white space appears to the left and right of the "block" of text.
A text block is a new kind of literal in the Java language. It may be used to denote a string anywhere that a string literal could appear, but offers greater expressiveness and less accidental complexity.
The content may include double quote characters directly, unlike the characters in a string literal. The use of \" in a text block is permitted, but not necessary or recommended. Fat delimiters (""") were chosen so that " characters could appear unescaped, and also to visually distinguish a text block from a string literal.
The content may include line terminators directly, unlike the characters in a string literal. The use of \n in a text block is permitted, but not necessary or recommended. For example, the text block:
A text block is a constant expression of type String, just like a string literal. However, unlike a string literal, the content of a text block is processed by the Java compiler in three distinct steps:
The processed content is recorded in the class file as a CONSTANT_String_info entry in the constant pool, just like the characters of a string literal. The class file does not record whether a CONSTANT_String_info entry was derived from a text block or a string literal.
At run time, a text block is evaluated to an instance of String, just like a string literal. Instances of String that are derived from text blocks are indistinguishable from instances derived from string literals. Two text blocks with the same processed content will refer to the same instance of String due to interning, just like for string literals.
The text blocks shown above were easier to read than their concatenated string literal counterparts, but the obvious interpretation for the content of a text block would include the spaces added to indent the embedded string so that it lines up neatly with the opening delimiter. Here is the HTML example using dots to visualize the spaces that the developer added for indentation:
Since the opening delimiter is generally positioned to appear on the same line as the statement or expression which consumes the text block, there is no real significance to the fact that 14 visualized spaces start each line. Including those spaces in the content would mean the text block denotes a string different from the one denoted by the concatenated string literals. This would hurt migration, and be a recurring source of surprise: it is overwhelmingly likely that the developer does not want those spaces in the string. Also, the closing delimiter is generally positioned to align with the content, which further suggests that the 14 visualized spaces are insignificant.
Spaces may also appear at the end of each line, especially when a text block is populated by copy-pasting snippets from other files (which may themselves have been formed by copy-pasting from yet more files). Here is the HTML example reimagined with some trailing white space, again using dots to visualize spaces:
Accordingly, an appropriate interpretation for the content of a text block is to differentiate incidental white space at the start and end of each line, from essential white space. The Java compiler processes the content by removing incidental white space to yield what the developer intended. String::indent can then be used to further manipulate indentation if desired. Using to visualize margins:
The re-indentation algorithm takes the content of a text block whose line terminators have been normalized to LF. It removes the same amount of white space from each line of content until at least one of the lines has a non-white space character in the leftmost position. The position of the opening """ characters has no effect on the algorithm, but the position of the closing """ characters does have an effect if placed on its own line. The algorithm is as follows:
Split the content of the text block at every LF, producing a list of individual lines. Note that any line in the content which was just an LF will become an empty line in the list of individual lines.
Normally, one would format a text block in two ways: first, position the left edge of the content to appear under the first " of the opening delimiter, and second, place the closing delimiter on its own line to appear exactly under the opening delimiter. The resulting string will have no white space at the start of any line, and will not include the trailing blank line of the closing delimiter.
After the content is re-indented, any escape sequences in the content are interpreted. Text blocks support all of the escape sequences supported in string literals, including \n, \t, \', \", and \\. See section 3.10.6 of the The Java Language Specification for the full list. Developers will have access to escape processing via String::translateEscapes, a new instance method.
