Given an interval of numbers from 1 to 100 how to split them into 10 collections(?) of 1 to 10.

Hi Folks,

For a development tool and Unicode grok exercise, I am recreating the functionality of: https://jrgraphix.net/r/Unicode/

For the Latin unicode characters, I would like to create a table 10 <td> things wide in a table row.

There has got to be an elegant way rather than the kludge I am imagining...

Here is my current code that has one TD for each row.

render000020to00007F: html
      html table
            with:[
                  html tableHead with: [html strong: ' Basic Latin'].
                  html tableBody with:[
                  (16r000020 asCharacter to: 16r00007F asCharacter)
                        do:[:each|
html tableRow with:[
                                          html tableHeading: (each asInteger).
                                          html tableData: each]]]]

If I could "chunk" that (16r000020 asCharacter to: 16r00007F asCharacter) or the Interval (16r000020 to: 16r00007F) into subsets of 10, it would be easy to code this.

thanks in advance.

If the size of the collection would be a multiple of 10, you could use
#groupsOf:atATimeDo:, but it's not, so I'd try something like this:

| start end step |
start := 16r000020.
end := 16r00007F.
step := 10.
start to: end by: step do: [ :groupStart |
| group |
group := groupStart to: (groupStart + step - 1 min: end).
html
tableRow: [
group do: [ :each |
html tableHead: each ] ];
tableRow: [
group do: [ :each |
html tableData: each asCharacter ] ] ]

Thank you!

I will tussle with that tomorrow.

As an aside, fior he purposes of seaside I learned that xml only supports a subset of available Unicode.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valid_characters_in_XML

This may simplify my PEG filters.

The larger and intriguing issue of getting every printable unicode character to display in squeak is now on my want to do list!

A fun experiment will be seeing if out putting "delete the e" to the Transcript followed by the delete character (127?) results in "delete the " (:

cheers!
