Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Take highlighted address and add +4 to zip code

« on: December 21, 2011, 04:20 PM »

Can someone whip up a program or AHK script that would take a highlighted address, such as:

123 Main Street, Anyville, ST 55555
or...

123 Main Street
Anyville, ST 55555

...and "lookup" the Plus 4 zip code, so that it would return:

123 Main Street
Anyville, ST 55555-1234

or

123 Main Street, Anyville, ST 55555-1234

...depending on the input format.  Even just returning the Plus 4 code (1234) to the clipboard might also be useful.  Would beat the hell out of going to the USPS +4 lookup web page, then individually typing/pasting in the pieces of the address, then clicking "LOOKUP", etc.

Thanks for consideration!

Is there a key shortcut (or key sequence) to open options?  If not, that would be a nice addition.  Thanks.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Default alias for nircmd

Mouser, thanks for the reply, and I get what you're telling me.

Interesting.  I couldn't get it to work using the %APPDIR% or %ALIASDIR% variables (even though it's apparently pointing directly at nircmd.exe), but once I pointed at where nircmd was in the path, %windir%\nircmd.exe, then it worked.  Perhaps nircmd has trouble fulfilling arguments unless it's positioned in the path, or FARR is not setting the nircmd "default folder", or something akin to that...  just shooting in the dark

Anyway, in the words of Inspector Clouseau, the problem is solv-ed.

Cheers.

Mouser, okay I'm a loser, but how would you add a custom alias to myaliases.alias for the following nircmd.exe command with arguments?

nircmd.exe cdrom open d:

I tried the following, but no go:

OpenCD | %ALIASDIR%nircmd.exe cdrom d:
or
OpenCD | %ALIASDIR%nircmd.exe $$1 $$2

(Installed the Nircmd alias pack already and that is working fine with the included aliases).

What is the format or correct command here?  Thanks for feedback.

By the way, I figured out how to do this in an alternate way (with a shortcut utilizing those arguments), but I'd prefer to know how to add my own aliases inside of FARR (with either hard-coded arguments, or "replacement" arguments).  Thanx!
