Find And Run Robot / Re: Need help with optional parameters in aliases

« on: April 27, 2009, 05:21 AM »

I've testing it more and i think i have a problem

I use this regular expression : ^rtm|gtd

I type rtm ++ arg1 ++ arg 2

the arg1 my program receives is "++ . arg1"

EDIT : My fault, i didn't realize that the ++ as parameter separator is not implemented in current release.
typing rtm ++ arg1 arg2 arg3 works fine.

That'll be perfect, because then i could use AutohotKey to intercept the TABS (or another free key in my keyboard) and replace them with ++ when FARR is active. Anyway thanks again for your help, your support is impressive.

Seems to work fine 

Thank you very much for this update. Lightning fast.

NOTE:i still find the Launchy method to handle optional parameters faster and a bit more usable, but the low resources and no indexing of FARR is a winner. I think i can get used to use "", or maybe use autohotkey to do it for me (in my netbook i hate use "" and i'm a bit fanatic of the minimum effort policy)

Yes, seems very reasonable althogh i'm more inclined to use another separator like TAB
which never is user in a parameter, is only one keypress and helps me avoiding to use
"" which is a bit more usable in a NetBook.

So program [TAB] arg1a arg1b [TAB] arg2   --->   program "arg1 arg1b" arg2             Ultra fast to type

i suposse it should be nice if every user could choose his favorite separator.

Thank you very much

Hi, i'm trying FARR and i need a bit of help. First of all, sorry for my english, not my home lang.

Actually i'm trying to migrate from Launchy to FARR but, it's a bit more difficult than i though.
I mainly use Launchy for one thing, the Runny plugin.

I  use runny to invoke a program with a variable number of parameters so, in Launchy i simply type..

rtm [TAB] param1 [TAB] param2 [TAB] param3

and it invokes my program with the 0,1,2 or 3 parameters that i've typed
eJ C.\Program Files\rtm\rtm.exe param1 param2 param3

i think in farr this behavior is acomplished using alias with Regex but i'n no xpert in using Regex.

How can i acomplish the same behaviour? note that i could not enter parameters, or only 1 or 2 or the whole 3 .
I achieve to invoke the program with 3 params but no with 2 using a single regex..

anyway.is there any help with the expressions used in aliases?

thanks in advance.
