Replace elements that match pattern



I am using pattern matching to identify elements in a list to be replaced. How can I supply a list of patterns to match and replace all elements in the list that match the pattern? The problem I have now is that each replacement generates a new list. But what I want is a single list with all pattern matched elements replaced. Thus far I have tried,


x={k1p->0.214161,km1->35.8125,k2p->0.3880,km2->39.57}/.
PatternSequence[#->_]->#>0.0&/@{k1p,k2p}
(*{{k1p->0.,km1->35.8125,k2p->0.388,km2->39.57},{k1p->0.214161,km1->35.8125,k2p->0.388,km2->0.}}*)

And I've tried to use replace repeated (//.) Which does give a single list, however nothing is replaced.


x={k1p->0.214161,km1->35.8125,k2p->0.3880,km2->39.57}//.PatternSequence[#->_]->#->0.0&/@{{k1p,km2}}
(*{{k1p->0.214161,km1->35.8125,k2p->0.388,km2->39.57}}*)

Answer



expr = {k1p -> 0.214161, km1 -> 35.8125, k2p -> 0.3880, km2 -> 39.57};

expr /. PatternSequence[p : k1p | k2p -> _] -> (p -> 0.0)
(* or expr /. Rule[p:k1p|k2p,_] :> Rule[p,0.0] *)
(* {k1p -> 0., km1 -> 35.8125, k2p -> 0., km2 -> 39.57} *)

More generally,


lst = {km1, k2p, km2};
exprs /. Rule[p : Alternatives @@ lst, _] :> Rule[p, 0.0]
(* {k1p -> 0.214161, km1 -> 0., k2p -> 0., km2 -> 0.} *)

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

How to thread a list

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
