I’m writing a module to test ets match.
It would to store client consume by month/year.

I had try to follow match spec… I even tried to do automagic translate of elixir functions with GitHub - ericmj/ex2ms: :ets.fun2ms for Elixir, translate functions to match specifications · GitHub

nonetheless I always end up with an empty list []

Please… someone help me with list_period method…

defmodule ETS.Consume do
  @moduledoc """
  Consume tasks

    r ETS.Consume

    ETS.Consume.scenario()

    table = ETS.Consume.start()
    ETS.Consume.populate(table)
    ETS.Consume.list(table, "12345678901")
    ETS.Consume.list_period(table, "12345678901", 2, 2021, 10, 2021)
  """

    :ets.new(@table, @opts)

    key = {cpf_cnpj, mes, ano}

    :ets.insert(ref, {key, consumo})

  def list(table, cpf_cnpj) do
    :ets.match(table, {{cpf_cnpj, :"$1", :"$2"}, :"$3"})

    pattern = [{{{:"$1", :"$2", :"$3"}, :"$4"}, [{:<, :"$2", 2}], [true]}]

    :ets.match(table, pattern)
  end

My workaround will be match by unique key and manually filter…

But this is clearly naive.

daviaws OP

:ets.fun2ms(fn {{ cpf_cnpj, mes, ano }, consumo} when mes < 2 -> ano end)

returns

[{{{:"$1", :"$2", :"$3"}, :"$4"}, [{:<, :"$2", 2}], [:"$3"]}]

even this returns an empty list. This is annoying me… if only there is something I can do to know whats wrong, but this is it, even the official mechanisms are giving unexpected results.

Some gentle and helpful soul, please enlighten me?

My next steps would be:

  1. validate erlang itself working.
  2. check elixir and erlang integration spot.

### [ETS] Does :ets.match spec really works?

daviaws

daviaws OP

Following the official docs: Match Specifications in Erlang — OTP 29.0.2 (erts 17.0.2)

1> T = ets:new(t,[ordered_set]).
#Ref<0.1704239209.3973709829.71159>
2> ets:insert(T, {strider, 1, 2021}).                                        
true
3> ets:match(T, [{{strider,'_','_'}, [], ['$_']}]).
[]

:smile: 5 hours of my life… to uncover that I will need to do Enum.filter :eyes:

There’s an unfortunate overlap in terminology: :ets.match takes a “match pattern”, not a match specification. The documentation for :ets.select/2 demonstrates this:

ets:match(Table,{'$1','$2','$3'})

# is equivalent to

ets:select(Table,[{{'$1','$2','$3'},[],['$$']}])

Demo:

iex(1)> tab = :ets.new(:foo, [:ordered_set])
#Reference<0.3893230368.2635726851.91982>

iex(3)> :ets.insert(tab, {{"a", 1, "b"}, "c"})
true

iex(4)> :ets.insert(tab, {{"d", 2, "e"}, "f"})
true

iex(6)> :ets.select(tab, [{{{:"$1", :"$2", :"$3"}, :"$4"}, [{:<, :"$2", 2}], [:"$_"]}])
[{{"a", 1, "b"}, "c"}]
