Selecting elements from lists based on string pattern












1












$begingroup$


I have a list:



lis = {{"abc", 1, 2}, {"cde", 3, 4}, {"fgbc", 5, 6}}


I would like to select list items that have first elements that end in the string "bc" to give:



res = {{1,2},{5,6}}


This is a variant on this question which has to do with strings only. Thank you as always for suggestions.

            This uses string matching on the first element of each sublist and then discards the first element from the matches.



            lis = {{"abc", 1, 2}, {"cde", 3, 4}, {"fgbc", 5, 6}};
            
Rest/@Select[lis,StringMatchQ[First[#],RegularExpression["\w*bc"]]&]
            

            
(* {{1, 2}, {5, 6}} *)


            You may need to adjust the pattern given to RegularExpression if your strings do not all begin with word characters.

                                        Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

                                        Image
                                        6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w...
