| Feb 18, 2021 at 10:35 | comment | added | William Martens | @JonathanAllan THANKS so much! (No but really) I actually tried to follow a template (that I copied and pasted,) but really, this pointed out a fiew issues (uh - which were in my opinion, vital! ) Like the code of conduct says: it is difficult to read tone online, this is why I want everyone to read the following seriously: This is NOT sarcasm! I am extremely thankful you all pointed out these issues/things I must edit! Thanks; I want to learn & get better at this! You're all amazing; thanks again. Everyone - have a GREAT corona-free Year! //Wishes from Will. | |
| Feb 17, 2021 at 19:44 | comment | added | Jonathan Allan | It could be worth checking out a clear and concise question for reference, for example "My smartphone's phonebook". | |
| Feb 17, 2021 at 19:37 | comment | added | Jonathan Allan | @WilliamMartens - Firstly sorry no one has come back to you in so long. You just need to make updates to your question to attempt to clarify the specification (as I see you have been doing); when a handful of experienced members of the community have voted to reopen the question it will reopen. | |

| Feb 17, 2021 at 17:50 | comment | added | William Martens | @Leo Splitting , . and spaces is the only requirement, how is not really that hugely important - sorry I should have made that clear from the very beginning. | |
| Feb 17, 2021 at 10:18 | comment | added | William Martens | Or shall I delete this and make a new one? | |
| Feb 17, 2021 at 8:53 | comment | added | William Martens | Hello, I just woke up - right, How should I do this - (exactly) ? (Just post in in the sandbox, or - ?) | |

I'm also voting to close since answers are already making different assumptions on what the challenge allows. I like the challenge though, I hope things get clarified enough so I can post my solution! In addition to the doubts stated previously by other people I would add: do we need to split both the book and the input ourselves or can we take a list of words for one or both of them? When splitting, the challenge seems to require splitting on ,,.,` `, but the reference program uses python's string.split(), which splits on whitespace... which one should we do?

| Feb 17, 2021 at 0:05 | comment | added | FryAmTheEggman | So the question from Jonathan is one of the unclear parts of what you initially wrote. However, in general this seems like a fine idea. Some of the other things included: what if a number appears in the source text, what about non-ASCII characters, and is the extra I/O text you have necessary? This list probably isn't complete, but now that you have some answers you can't delete the question, so try your best to address them as we bring them up. For now, I think I will vote to close, but don't worry - if it gets closed, we'll reopen it when it is ready. | |

| Feb 16, 2021 at 22:52 | comment | added | Jonathan Allan | I'm not 100% clear on this - does our program/function need to act as a decoder instead of an encoder when given a list of integers in place of the secret message? | |

| Feb 16, 2021 at 21:25 | comment | added | William Martens | @FryAmTheEggman Yeah, I have never been great at writing, (Just for the record - a question - is it okay as a challenge? (Of course I will move it to the sandbox; just wanted to know if this is like, acceptable as a challenge if it was more - how to formulate it; "proper" written? Thanks by the way for the Blazingly fast response! I also made this challenge to provide the internet in general more with Book ciphers, since there really are not a lot of info out there, but thanks again for responding! | |
| Feb 16, 2021 at 21:22 | comment | added | William Martens | @xnor Yes, thank you that was a miss- | |
| Feb 16, 2021 at 21:22 | comment | added | FryAmTheEggman | Welcome to code golf! You seem to have put a lot of effort into writing this, but you have varied from our sites norms in quite a few places. For now, I would recommend moving this to the sandbox, since I think addressing each of them will take a long time. Good luck. | |
| Feb 16, 2021 at 21:21 | comment | added | xnor | I changed the tag code-challenge to code-golf, since you say the shortest code wins. | |
