Url Parsing in Modelica
Here’s the translation of the Go URL parsing example to Modelica, formatted in Markdown suitable for Hugo:
model URLParsing
import Modelica.Utilities.Strings;
import Modelica.Utilities.System;
function parseURL
input String url;
output String scheme;
output String user;
output String password;
output String host;
output String port;
output String path;
output String fragment;
output String query;
algorithm
// Simple URL parsing implementation
// Note: This is a basic implementation and may not cover all cases
scheme := Strings.substring(url, 1, Strings.find(url, "://") - 1);
// Extract user and password
user := "";
password := "";
if Strings.find(url, "@") > 0 then
user := Strings.substring(url, Strings.find(url, "://") + 3, Strings.find(url, "@") - 1);
if Strings.find(user, ":") > 0 then
password := Strings.substring(user, Strings.find(user, ":") + 1);
user := Strings.substring(user, 1, Strings.find(user, ":") - 1);
end if;
end if;
// Extract host and port
host := Strings.substring(url, Strings.find(url, "@") + 1, Strings.findLast(url, "/") - 1);
if Strings.find(host, ":") > 0 then
port := Strings.substring(host, Strings.find(host, ":") + 1);
host := Strings.substring(host, 1, Strings.find(host, ":") - 1);
else
port := "";
end if;
// Extract path, fragment, and query
path := Strings.substring(url, Strings.findLast(url, "/"));
fragment := "";
query := "";
if Strings.find(path, "#") > 0 then
fragment := Strings.substring(path, Strings.find(path, "#") + 1);
path := Strings.substring(path, 1, Strings.find(path, "#") - 1);
end if;
if Strings.find(path, "?") > 0 then
query := Strings.substring(path, Strings.find(path, "?") + 1);
path := Strings.substring(path, 1, Strings.find(path, "?") - 1);
end if;
end parseURL;
equation
when initial() then
// We'll parse this example URL, which includes a scheme, authentication info,
// host, port, path, query params, and query fragment.
String url = "postgres://user:pass@host.com:5432/path?k=v#f";
String scheme, user, password, host, port, path, fragment, query;
(scheme, user, password, host, port, path, fragment, query) = parseURL(url);
// Print the parsed components
System.print("Scheme: " + scheme);
System.print("User: " + user);
System.print("Password: " + password);
System.print("Host: " + host);
System.print("Port: " + port);
System.print("Path: " + path);
System.print("Fragment: " + fragment);
System.print("Query: " + query);
end when;
end URLParsing;
This Modelica code demonstrates URL parsing, similar to the original example. Here’s an explanation of the key points:
We define a
parseURL
function that takes a URL string as input and returns various components of the URL.The parsing is done using string manipulation functions from
Modelica.Utilities.Strings
, such assubstring
andfind
.We use a
when initial()
block to execute the parsing and printing once at the start of the simulation.The URL components are extracted and printed using
System.print
.
Note that Modelica doesn’t have built-in URL parsing libraries like Go does, so we’ve implemented a basic parsing function. This implementation might not cover all edge cases and is meant for demonstration purposes.
To run this Modelica model, you would typically use a Modelica simulation environment. The output would show the parsed components of the URL, similar to the Go example.
Remember that Modelica is primarily used for modeling and simulation of physical systems, so this URL parsing example is somewhat atypical for the language. In a real-world scenario, you might use Modelica’s external function interface to call a more robust URL parsing library implemented in another language.
