I like it! I found that it doesn't like "=" in the transformation result.
Will look into that. Thanks for the feedback!

#52Any chance of making a plugin for Sublime Text?
If you're already in Sublime, just use multiple cursors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90uUdHyAACY

#54This area of research is called "program sketching", which creates programs by example.

#55I like it! I found that it doesn't like "=" in the transformation result.
I also noticed this:
foo, bar
baz, bog
first="foo", second="bar"
first"foo", second"bar"
first"baz", second"bog"Re: Show HN: A tool that transforms your whole list with just one example
#56I've been using regular expressions in Notepad++ for doing this kind of things. This is awesome and would save a lot of time.

#57One can achieve the same in sublime text using the multiple cursors and edit feature. This is great for non tech people. For those of you who are wondering what sublime text can do, do give a visit to a sublime text video series on tutsplus, its awesome and teaches you the power of sublime text
This same example done in Sublime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90uUdHyAACY

#58Earlier quoted context omitted.
My brain doesn't understand what you're trying to do either. Why is Roberto/Carlos on every line?
I formatted their examples to appear like some real data I have that appears like this, obviously not names but descriptions of some projects. I was curious how this would handle it. In any case, get rid of the "/" and its closer to real. Some people have more than two names in their full name. And on a set a little larger you could very well have something close to my second example.
Currently it matches word by word, so for example if someone has a family name in two parts like "Van Buyten", it wont work. I think it's the same problem in your example: that the first "column" contains multiple words in some cases? We'll be fixing this in a future release!

It's more accurate to call it "programming by example", which is a much older term, in common use, and actually means "creating programs by example".

Sketching means to provide a partial specification, of which details are filled in by the system. But in this case, the user is providing a full description of a single concrete example. These are different concepts.

#60For some reason it won't handle certain characters...
Input:
Feature: 37, threshold: 4386, +
Feature: 11, threshold: 1, +
Feature: 10, threshold: 13, +
Feature: 0, threshold: 34, +
Feature: 39, threshold: 44, +
Example:
x[37] >= 4386
Output:
x[37] 4386
x[11] 1
x[10] 13
x[0] 34
x[39] 44
