HWSched

I've been working on a new program: a homework scheduler suitable for high school and college students. Right now, it has the following objects that can be added, deleted, etc.:

• Quarters/Terms
• Instructors
• Classes (each has a Quarter and Instructor)
• Additional Class Sections (for each class)
• Exams (for each class)
• Assignments and their respective parts (for each class)

To add an assignment, all one needs to do is specify a class, due date, and all of its parts. I had previously written something similar, but it wasn't as efficient as this system.

I'll put it up here when I've tested it enough.

searchpg.pl and edict2psql.pl

I've decided to make my EDICT setup a bit faster, and went with PostgreSQL to do it. Here's the population script:

edict2psql.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;
use PerlIO::gzip;
use Encode;
use DBI;

scalar @ARGV || die "Usage: $0 edict\n";
my $edict = shift @ARGV;
my $db = shift @ARGV;

#!-e $db || die "Database file already exists: $db\n";


my $srch = '';
scalar @ARGV and ($srch = shift @ARGV);

open(EDICT, '<:gzip', $edict) || die "$!\n";
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:dbname=jdic", "$username", "$password") || die "Unable to access jdic.\n";
# Give us a clear DB
$dbh->do("DROP TABLE words") if($dbh->selectrow_arrayref("SELECT * FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname = 'public' AND tablename = 'words'"));
$dbh->do("DROP TABLE defns") if($dbh->selectrow_arrayref("SELECT * FROM pg_tables WHERE schemaname = 'public' AND tablename = 'defns'"));

$dbh->do("CREATE TABLE words(id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, preferred BOOL, kanji VARCHAR(192), kana VARCHAR(192), flags VARCHAR(64), defn INTEGER)") || die "Error creating word table.\n";
$dbh->do("CREATE TABLE defns(id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, content VARCHAR(1536))") || die "Error creating definition table.\n";
my $wcreate = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO words(preferred, kanji, kana, flags, defn) VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");
#my $wkcreate = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO words(preferred, content, defn) VALUE(?, ?, ?)");
my $dfncreate = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO defns(content) VALUES(?)");
while(<EDICT>) {
$_ = encode('utf-8', decode('euc-jp', $_));
my @parts = split(/\//, $_);
s/\s+$// foreach(@parts);
my $word = shift @parts;
pop @parts if($parts[$#parts] !~ /\S/);
my $preferred = 0;
if($parts[$#parts] eq '(P)') {
$preferred = 1;
pop @parts;
}
my $defn = join('; ', @parts);
my $kana = undef;
my $flags = undef;
if($word =~ /\[([^\]]+)\]/) {
$kana = $1;
$word =~ s/\s+\[.*$//g;
}
while($defn =~ /^(\(ok\)|\(ik\))\s+(.+)$/) {
$flags and ($flags .= "$1 ") or ($flags = "$1 ");
$defn = $2;
}
my $fetchdefn = $dbh->prepare("SELECT defns.id FROM defns WHERE defns.content = ?");
$fetchdefn->execute($defn);
my $row = $fetchdefn->fetchrow_arrayref;
if($row) {
$wcreate->execute(($preferred and 'TRUE' or 'FALSE'), $word, $kana, $flags, ${$row}[0]);
}
else {
$dfncreate->execute($defn);
$fetchdefn->execute($defn);
$row = $fetchdefn->fetchrow_arrayref;
if($row) {
$wcreate->execute(($preferred and 'TRUE' or 'FALSE'), $word, $kana, $flags, ${$row}[0]);
}
}
}
close(EDICT);
print "Generation complete.\n";
$dbh->disconnect;

And, of course, the searching script, which uses PerlArg.pm:

I'll start working on KANJIDIC soon, I hope.
