# empty?
|
||||
|
||||
Check for empty values. Pass the column names to check emptiness. Optionally pass a block as the last parameter if setting contents to empty columns is wanted.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Check if a value is empty
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
> echo '' | empty?
|
||||
true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Given the following meals
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
> echo [[meal size]; [arepa small] [taco '']]
|
||||
═══╦═══════╦═══════
|
||||
# ║ meal ║ size
|
||||
═══╬═══════╬═══════
|
||||
0 ║ arepa ║ small
|
||||
1 ║ taco ║
|
||||
═══╩═══════╩═══════
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Show the empty contents
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
> echo [[meal size]; [arepa small] [taco '']] | empty? meal size
|
||||
═══╦══════╦══════
|
||||
# ║ meal ║ size
|
||||
═══╬══════╬══════
|
||||
0 ║ No ║ No
|
||||
1 ║ No ║ Yes
|
||||
═══╩══════╩══════
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Let's assume we have a report of totals per day. For simplicity we show just for three days `2020/04/16`, `2020/07/10`, and `2020/11/16`. Like so
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
> echo [[2020/04/16 2020/07/10 2020/11/16]; ['' 27 37]]
|
||||
═══╦════════════╦════════════╦════════════
|
||||
# ║ 2020/04/16 ║ 2020/07/10 ║ 2020/11/16
|
||||
═══╬════════════╬════════════╬════════════
|
||||
0 ║ ║ 27 ║ 37
|
||||
═══╩════════════╩════════════╩════════════
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In the future, the report now has many totals logged per day. In this example, we have 1 total for the day `2020/07/10` and `2020/11/16` like so
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
> echo [[2020/04/16 2020/07/10 2020/11/16]; ['' [27] [37]]]
|
||||
═══╦════════════╦════════════════╦════════════════
|
||||
# ║ 2020/04/16 ║ 2020/07/10 ║ 2020/11/16
|
||||
═══╬════════════╬════════════════╬════════════════
|
||||
0 ║ ║ [table 1 rows] ║ [table 1 rows]
|
||||
═══╩════════════╩════════════════╩════════════════
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We want to add two totals (numbers `33` and `37`) for the day `2020/04/16`
|
||||
|
||||
Set a table with two numbers for the empty column
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
> echo [[2020/04/16 2020/07/10 2020/11/16]; ['' [27] [37]]] | empty? 2020/04/16 { = [33 37] }
|
||||
═══╦════════════════╦════════════════╦════════════════
|
||||
# ║ 2020/04/16 ║ 2020/07/10 ║ 2020/11/16
|
||||
═══╬════════════════╬════════════════╬════════════════
|
||||
0 ║ [table 2 rows] ║ [table 1 rows] ║ [table 1 rows]
|
||||
═══╩════════════════╩════════════════╩════════════════
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Checking all the numbers
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
> echo [[2020/04/16 2020/07/10 2020/11/16]; ['' [27] [37]]] | empty? 2020/04/16 { = [33 37] } | pivot _ totals | get totals
|
||||
═══╦════
|
||||
0 ║ 33
|
||||
1 ║ 37
|
||||
2 ║ 27
|
||||
3 ║ 37
|
||||
═══╩════
|
||||
```
