XPath contains to target specific type of link path -

-

i having lot of difficulty constructing xpath query return kinds of url's need. xpath query below works cases however, have been trying tweak returns url actual page name contains 'about' , not url's about found in directory name.

current output (bad):

https://www.domain.com/about/account.asp

desired output:

https://www.domain.com/about/about.asp

xpath

 (//a[contains(@href,'about')]/@href)[1]

note: because using php xpath engine can utilize xpath 1.0 solution.

i appreciate suggestions!

many in advance!

xpath 1.0's string manipulation capabilities limited, can based on assumptions.

eg., if urls end .asp, search /about.asp, or more general /about.. dirty hack cut off starting @ first ?, use last few characters (to allow suffixes of different length .xhtml or .pl) , search in there:

[   contains(     substring(substring-before(., '?'), string-length(substring-before(., '?')) - 10),    'about'   ) or (     not(contains(., '?')) ,     contains(substring(., string-length(.) - 10), 'about')   ) ]

and still should still extended hashes # in place of ? fetch cases, there still enough fail at.

i highly recommend use regular expression php more robust , convenient. or use external xpath 2.0/xquery processor saxon, basex, ...

time series - R growth rate calculation week over week on daily timeseries data -

-
i'm trying calculate w/w growth rates entirely in r. use excel, or preprocess ruby, that's not point. data.frame example date gpv type 1 2013-04-01 12900 office 2 2013-04-02 16232 office 3 2013-04-03 10035 office i want factored 'type' , need wrap date type column weeks. , calculate week on week growth. i think need ddply group week - custom function determines if date in given week or not? then, after that, use diff , find growth b/w weeks divided previous week. then i'll plot week/week growths, or use data.frame export it. this closed had same useful ideas. update: answer ggplot: all same below, use instead of plot ggplot(data.frame(week=seq(length(gr)), gr), aes(x=week,y=gr*100)) + geom_point() + geom_smooth(method='loess') + coord_cartesian(xlim = c(.95, 10.05)) + scale_x_discrete() + ggtitle('week on week growth rate, apr 1') + ylab('growth rate %') (old, correct answer using plot) w...
