MySQL: linebreaks __NEWLINE__ and prefix 'mysql>' shown in example view

[ghost]

When DDG-ing for mysql substring, the example view contains:

SUBSTRING(str,pos), SUBSTRING(str FROM pos), SUBSTRING(str,pos,len), SUBSTRING(str FROM pos FOR len):
mysql> SELECT SUBSTRING('Quadratically',5); -> 'ratically' __NEWLINE__mysql> SELECT SUBSTRING('foobarbar' FROM 4); -> 'barbar' __NEWLINE__mysql> SELECT SUBSTRING('Quadratically',5,6); -> 'ratica' __NEWLINE__mysql> SELECT SUBSTRING('Sakila', -3); -> 'ila' __NEWLINE__mysql> SELECT SUBSTRING('Sakila', -5, 3); -> 'aki' __NEWLINE__mysql> SELECT SUBSTRING('Sakila' FROM -4 FOR 2); -> 'ki'

It contains linebreaks __NEWLINE__ and prefix mysql>.

Instead, this would be much more readable:

SUBSTRING(str,pos), SUBSTRING(str FROM pos), SUBSTRING(str,pos,len), SUBSTRING(str FROM pos FOR len):

SELECT SUBSTRING('Quadratically',5); -> 'ratically'
SELECT SUBSTRING('foobarbar' FROM 4); -> 'barbar'
SELECT SUBSTRING('Quadratically',5,6); -> 'ratica'
SELECT SUBSTRING('Sakila', -3); -> 'ila'
SELECT SUBSTRING('Sakila', -5, 3); -> 'aki'
SELECT SUBSTRING('Sakila' FROM -4 FOR 2); -> 'ki'

@FCTURNER thanks for reporting! I think someone should be able to update the parser for this Instant Answer so that it displays the result with newlines

Crap, looks like this is an internal IA. We'll have to do it ourselves I guess.

@jdorweiler do you have any idea if we can open source this IA? Should we ask the community to re-implement it themselves?

I think this is it. Unfortunatly, I don't think it's working. https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-fathead/blob/master/lib/fathead/UNCLEAN/parse_mysqlfunction.py
