#alphabet pattern printing in java

[sartorialadventure]

As a new book is published on African wax print textiles, Vogue speaks to its author about the complex origins and stories behind eight of the most vibrant prints. Once a craze confined to Africa’s Gold Coast; now, African wax prints have gone global. Take Beyoncé, who rocked the printed cotton fabric for her baby shower last year, asking her guests to wear African-centred gelées, kufis and wax-printed pieces. “It is everywhere but at the same time people don’t know really the story and the meanings of this textile,” says Anne Grosfilley, author of a new book, African Wax Print Textiles, published by Prestel this month (£45, available here). The book is a detailed exploration of the fabric’s origins, techniques and cultural currency as well as a showcase of vibrant, eye-popping designs. “There are colours you would not see in other types of textiles,” Grosfilley says, citing deep blue with orange. These are also clothes with deep meaning: often, fabrics have hidden messages. African wax prints actually came from the Netherlands. In the second half of the 19th century, fuelled by the industrial revolution and colonial expansion, new markets opened in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) as well as Africa. With the Netherlands securing its presence in Java, its textile companies began competing with the local artisanal batik techniques, producing their own cotton prints. These Dutch wax prints, however, bombed as the Dutch dyes created cracks, so new markets had to be found. In 1893 the first Dutch wax prints landed in the African Gold Coast (now Ghana), where they became style and status symbols. During the 1950s, their appeal spread across west Africa, when the Mercedes-Benz driving female entrepreneurs (known as the Nana Benz) bought the fabrics into Togo and gave them names to add mystique. Africa’s fight for independence in the 1960s led to wax prints being made locally. More recently, cheap Chinese copies have made wax prints more accessible to the rest of the world. Now, wax prints are worn with denim and other Western styles with men donning the print too. Here, a selection of the most intriguing wax prints and the unusual stories and meanings behind them.

Alphabet, 1920

Created in 1920, this alphabet design was worn mainly by people who went to the colonial school, and could read, write and count with the new mathematics. “People were very proud of it and they would wear this wax print to say, 'look, I’m literate and an educated person’”, says Grosfilley. Today, the design still retains this symbolism, even used by political parties for propaganda, "as if to say, 'look, this is a good value design and I am a good value president, so you should support me because I am as good as education,’” she says. Modern motifs have updated the design with computers replacing blackboards.

Elizabeth II, 1956

Designed for Queen Elizabeth II’s first visit to Nigeria in 1956, Grosfilley believes this wax print was given away to ensure a crowd gave her a warm welcome - as the visit was shortly before the country gained independence. It’s an African tradition for people to wear the same fabric for a specific occasion, whether it's close family and friends at a wedding, or at a political rally where the crowd wears a print with the president’s face, or to show solidarity with a group or community. "In Africa, we are less individualistic than in the western cultures,” argues Grosfilley, though explains that each person wears print in their own way. “So you are part of a group but at the same time you are unique." Don't miss the imperfections of the wax process that appear as cracks in her fur and the early wax print colours, brown and indigo, on the original white of the fabric.

Fly-Whisk, 1950

A fly swatter may seem like an everyday symbol, but actually it symbolises power and prestige. Why? These are the brooms used to swat away the mosquitoes and other flies from the kings and traditional chiefs of the Akan people who live across the Ivory Coast and Ghana. Once wielding great economic power selling gold and ivory to the British and other countries, today these kings and chiefs are more symbolic. Designed in 1950, the pattern is set in big squares à la Adinkra, Adire and other African handmade textiles and has a decorative background to prevent any cracks caused by the batik process being seen.

Darling, Don't Turn Your Back On Me, 1980s

This abstract pattern from the 1980s was inspired by paper used to wrap meat in a French butcher. According to Grosfilley: “This is the magic of wax print, as you see a design and you project something which may be completely different from the original meaning.” For women in Toga, it's known as, “darling, don’t turn your back on me,” when they think their man is not looking at them anymore, but another woman. “In real life, the men don’t understand or don’t care as they don’t pay attention to the meaning of wax print. So although the message is to the man, really it is to the other woman,” she says.

Shell

One of the earliest wax print designs, produced in Ivory Coast, this is now a classic. Depicting the wings of the Garuda bird, Indonesia’s national emblem, this print symbolises how Indonesian designs have been re-interpreted in Africa. Take the Ghanaians, who see the design as a bunch of bananas, as “it’s part of their basic food as you’d eat it as a fruit or in a stew,” says Grosfilley. Or the Togans, who call the print, “the snail coming out of its shell,” after the snails they eat (and local phrase meaning "busybody"). Wearing the design, according to Grosfilley, means that “you should look at your own business instead of looking at what other people are doing,” she says.

Michelle Obama's Handbag, 2008

Some designs take on famous names. There’s Kofi Annan’s brain, the heart of Barack Obama and this one, named after Michelle Obama when her husband first became the president of the United States, in 2008. The basic appeal translates as: “You cannot afford to be Michelle Obama or buy the same bag as she carries, but because you can buy the pattern on wax print it’s like you’re part of it,” says Grosfilley. Yet, the connection to Obama is accidental. “Vlisco just designed a nice bag but then it’s the African market who said, 'Wow, we should make a connection between Michelle Obama and the bag',” she says. Made from Super Wax, which is softer, thinner and has an extra colour, wearing this more expensive fabric symbolises prestige.

Violent Eyes, The Mouth Says Nothing, 2011

The surrealist shoe with its tongue-like heel and multiple red-varnished toes is a detail of a larger design, created in 2011, in the Netherlands. Called "the eyes see, but the mouth does not speak,” the print is dominated by a huge mouth with a finger against it to say "shush, don’t speak" in the centre with little mouths in the background which also say nothing. “It’s about being an elegant woman and at the same time full of humour,” says Grosfilley. “We are saying, wear something just to see the good side of things.” The quirky design is accentuated by a bright red outline instead of the classic indigo, showing new ways of using the batik technique.

Reproduction Fan Print, 2000s

When electrical fans were introduced to Africa in the 1980s, they appeared on wax print as signs of modernity (as did mobile phones). Now, as fans are only bought by those without air-conditioning, the meaning has changed. “It is casual. You’ve got chairs, table, so what, there’s no point,” the author says. Printed on polycotton from China rather than cotton, bright new colours have been added, like the maroon and yellow and green combo since the original design debuted.

Problem

You need to learn the syntax of Java regular expressions.

Solution

Consult Table 4-1 for a list of the regular expression characters.

Discussion

These pattern characters let you specify regexes of considerable power. In building patterns, you can use any combination of ordinary text and the metacharacters, or special characters, in Table 4-1. These can all be used in any combination that makes sense. For example, a+ means any number of occurrences of the letter a, from one up to a million or a gazillion. The pattern Mrs?\. matches Mr. or Mrs. And .* means “any character, any number of times,” and is similar in meaning to most command-line interpreters’ meaning of the \* alone. The pattern \d+ means any number of numeric digits. \d{2,3}means a two- or three-digit number.

ls List contents of directories Linux Command

ls

ls [options] [names]

Description

List contents of directories. If no names are given, list the files in the current directory. With one or more names, list files contained in a directory name or that match a file name. names can include filename metacharacters. The options let you display a variety of information in different formats. The most useful options include -F, -R, -l, and -s. Some options don't make sense together (e.g., -u and -c).

Options

-1, --format=single-column Print one entry per line of output. -a, --all List all files, including the normally hidden files whose names begin with a period. -b, --escape Display nonprinting characters in octal and alphabetic format. -c, --time-ctime, --time=status List files by status change time (not creation/modification time). --color =when Colorize the names of files depending on the type of file. Accepted values for when are never, always, or auto. -d, --directory Report only on the directory, not its contents. -f Print directory contents in exactly the order in which they are stored, without attempting to sort them. --full-time List times in full, rather than using the standard abbreviations. -g Long listing like -l, but don't show file owners. -h Print sizes in kilobytes and megabytes. --help Print a help message and then exit. -i, --inode List the inode for each file. --indicator-style=none Display filenames without the flags assigned by -p or -f (default). -k, --kilobytes If file sizes are being listed, print them in kilobytes. This option overrides the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT. -l, --format=long, --format=verbose Long format listing (includes permissions, owner, size, modification time, etc.). -m, --format=commas Merge the list into a comma-separated series of names. -n, --numeric-uid-gid Like -l, but use group ID and user ID numbers instead of owner and group names. -o Long listing like -l, but don't show group information. -p, --filetype, --indicator-style=file-type Mark directories by appending / to them. -q, --hide-control-chars Show nonprinting characters as ? (default for display to a terminal). -r, --reverse List files in reverse order (by name or by time). -s, --size Print file size in blocks. --show-control-chars Show nonprinting characters verbatim (default for printing to a file). --si Similar to -h, but uses powers of 1,000 instead of 1,024. -t, --sort=time Sort files according to modification time (newest first). -u, --time=atime, --time=access, --time=use Sort files according to file-access time. --version Print version information on standard output, then exit. -x, --format=across, --format=horizontal List files in rows going across the screen. -v, --sort=version Interpret the digits in names such as file.6 and file.6.1 as versions, and order filenames by version. -w, --width=n Format output to fit n columns. -A, --almost-all List all files, including the normally hidden files whose names begin with a period. Does not include the . and .. directories. -B, --ignore-backups Do not list files ending in ~ unless given as arguments. -C, --format=vertical List files in columns (the default format). -D, --dired List in a format suitable for Emacs dired mode. -F, --classify, --indicator-style=classify Flag filenames by appending / to directories, * to executable files, @ to symbolic links, | to FIFOs, and = to sockets. -G, --no-group In long format, do not display group name. -H, --dereference-command-line When symbolic links are given on the command line, follow the link and list information from the actual file. -I, --ignore pattern Do not list files whose names match the shell pattern pattern, unless they are given on the command line. -L, --dereference List the file or directory referenced by a symbolic link rather than the link itself. -N, --literal Display special graphic characters that appear in filenames. -Q, --quote-name Quote filenames with "; quote nongraphic characters. -R, --recursive List directories and their contents recursively. -Rfile, --reload-state file Load state from file before starting execution. -S, --sort=size Sort by file size, largest to smallest. -U, sort=none Do not sort files. -X, sort=extension Sort by file extension, then by filename.

ls -ltr
