Web Link Captor / Re: Added delay to TSearch.py to make the script more human

« on: March 03, 2013, 09:33 AM »

That would require to reshuffle code, and will take more time to program and a lot more testing to find out what the heuristics are within the search engines. The engines probably all differ in that respect to identify robots and alike.
Current solution suffices for me, sorry...

Web Link Captor / Added delay to TSearch.py to make the script more human

« on: March 03, 2013, 08:43 AM »

My list contains 600 items, ms will block after about 30 results.


I added a time.sleep(60) command in TSearch.py (and had to import time) to fool the (b i n g) search engine.

Each input line takes 60 seconds, it makes the script more human.....

So I don't have to enter lost of  subselections (600=20x30 input items) 



See both changes in the code below between the line with ======== on it

Code: Python [Select]

1. #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. # imports we need
3. # include top level directory (needed to import from helper below)
4. import sys
5. import os
6. #201302 wjamoe added import time ===================================
7. import time
8. #=============================================================

Code: Python [Select]

1. def DoSearch(self,id,label,search):
2.         # this function does the main work -- take a search term
3.         # return a list of results
4.         results = []
5.  
6.         #initialize result with engine name and id
7.         baseresult = {"engine":self.get_searchenginename()}
8.         if id!="":
9.             baseresult["id"]=id
10.         if label!="":
11.             baseresult["label"]=label
12.  
13.         # ok grab a web page using our search terms
14.         content = self.SearchWebPageGrabContents(search)
15.  
16.         # and now parse results
17.         addresults = self.ParseWebPageContentIntoResults(search,content,baseresult)
18.         #201302 wjamoe added delay of 60 seconds =============================
19.         time.sleep(60)
20.         #=============================================================
21.         # add
22.         results.extend(addresults)
23.         # return
24.         return results

The testrun for 2 items takes 120 seconds

Find And Run Robot / Re: Feedback

« on: November 16, 2012, 01:30 PM »

it is possible to type

  cpanel network connections

or something shorter like

  cpanel nwc

IMHO the latter looks more compact than  'network connections',
it works because nwc matches network connections

great! Thanks for your perseverance.

I'll update the zip file (fscript.dll) of the first post and put the fsubscript version also there.

I've updated the gmail.zip file in the first post

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: farr gmail google mail plugin

« on: September 30, 2012, 01:59 PM »

tomos,
somehow the same problem occurs now on my computer with the latest farr.

I prepared (earlier) some alternative files which use fsubscript see posts on Farr forum.
    https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=15686.0
you need to install fsubscript in the plugin folder first, it comes with several aliasses which you can enable/disable using fssc command
clear the old gmail folder and copy the following files from the zipfile   to the gmail folder
fsubscript.js
gmail.ico

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: farr gmail google mail plugin

« on: September 30, 2012, 09:20 AM »

1) there are no advanced options
2) that should not happen, maybe because of the override string (conflict with yahoomail)
     the override string yhm should not be there, please clear that field
3) the webbrowser will ask for your details (in the farr window)

Clipboard Help+Spell / [request] rearrange option for find and replace (in modify format)

« on: September 30, 2012, 08:10 AM »

[request] can you add an option to rearrange the order of the Find and Replace patterns?

Changing / moving the order of the entries in Find and Replace are not registered.

I was trying a very simple html to wiki format converter

e.g. remove htmltags
in first Find and Replace
<[^>]*>
select en cut pattern, disable entry

paste this pattern
in 4th Find and Replace
<[^>]*>

fill pattern in first/top Find and Replace
<li>
*

Original find and replace pattern in 1st Find and Replace is still executed when enabled?
when I enable 1st entry it still removes html tags: "<[^>]*>"

Moved pattern on 4h entry is ignored when enabled.
It does not replace the html list items <li> into *

by unchecking PNG image optimization the image stays the same size.

you can find this option here:

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: farr gmail google mail plugin

« on: September 30, 2012, 05:42 AM »

normally you use farr for finding programs and files
if you have a google mail account (you can create one for free)
with this plugin you can access your inbox without having to open your browser.

just copy the files to the plugin folders as described.
then you can enter the command gmail

you'll see your (web)gmail inbox (sometimes you see the gmail log in webpage first)
now you can read, search, create, and delete messages.

do you need more info

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR V2 core alias tables

« on: August 29, 2012, 03:37 PM »

For those like me, who don't remember all core aliases containing websearches
I made a single alias containing all the web searches.

For a complete list of all the available searches type @ followed by space followed by one or more searchwords e.g.
@ donationcoder
use PgDn to scroll beyond the visible list.

To group some of the searches I added categories to the searches.
@web, @ref, @image, @movie, @music, @shop, @software, @torr

If you want to limit the list of web sites in the result window of farr type something like e.g. only image searched
@image donationcoder
or
@img donationcoder
Please note that the list of wesites appears after pressing space. because of: ( ^(|[a-z]) (.*) )

For all google related websearches type
@ggl  donationcoder farr yhm

For searching @movie youtube you can type. Everything after the first space is considered to be the search string
@mvyt walk somebody
or
@ytu walk somebody

Copy the text below and  (right click) import formatted Alias/Group in myaliases.alias

Enjoy!

NB I tested most entries, but some search sites will evolve/change and the URL search string for that site stops working,
please upload your updated version of alias when you have found an error, thanks

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR v2 - Official Bug Tracking and Feature Request Thread

« on: August 29, 2012, 02:03 PM »

I have to say wonderful program! I love it, saves a lot of time every day.

some request/small bugs
- trailing spaces are not stored in historys, when you define an alias ^name (.*) the space does have a meaning,
   without the space it will give a different result. can you store trailing space(s) in the historys.
- when editing an alias detail-dialog and press ctrl-spacebar or Break the Farr windows do not react
  to the mouse or keyboard anymore (looks like a deadlock?), only way out is
  select Farr in the system tray, right click [exit], and restart farr. can you solve this?
- my laptop is not always connected to the network (server) as a result myalias aliases sometimes disappear (for ever).
- My "My documents"  folder is on the network. This gives problems. Now I use use Farr only in 'portable' version.
  I made the fdebug alias in one of the previous postings to find the cause. I think it has to do with:
- network folders like \\server_name\folder_name are somehow not supported?
  Is this by design ? I also tried \\\\server_name\\folder_name, farr does not
  recognize this as a folder. Can you add support for folder names like these?

Skwire, I was looking for a small proxy toggle tool, but I couldn't find it. Thanks, I'm certainly going to use your program.

Find And Run Robot / alias for toggle internet proxy

« on: July 29, 2012, 03:51 AM »

You might like this, it is a simple alias for toggling the internet proxy on/off

"%FARRDIR%\Scripts\Control Panel (cpanel)\Internet Options (cpanel).lnk";;;sendkeys {sleep 1500}+{TAB}{HOME}{RIGHT}{RIGHT}{RIGHT}{RIGHT}%l%x

it will show the new state .

if you want to reverse the state press {SPACE}

you now have to to press {ENTER} twice to commit the setting

assumptions:

• this version only  works for english version of windows (Lan settings, proXy)
• it only works if your system administrator did not disable the communication dialog (5th TAB)

• there are no built in checks, to verify the above!

maybe you can modify it and upload a version for your language.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / farr gmail google mail plugin

« on: July 15, 2012, 08:33 AM »

Hi,

This is my third farr plugin. This time for gmail  (again modified from gtasks)
It allows you look at your inbox and to send emails in the popup window of FARR.

One of the advantages of a  mail plugin(s) is that you can use it in a popup window
while you are looking at another webpage in you browser.

screenshot of gmail plugin (Windows XP, old version of IE)



how to install
unzip the zipfile in subfolder Plugins

gmail.zip (84.57 kB - downloaded 905 times.)

there should be four files in the subfolder gmail of Plugins
e.g. c:\Program Files\FARR\Plugins\gmail\gmail.ico

default farr alias for this plugin is gmail
if you want to overrule the alias, please read description for my yahoo and operamail plugins.

How to install:
unzip file in subfolder Plugins of FARR
it should now contain 4 files (fscript.dll, fscript.cfi, fscript.js, operamail.ico) Do not put anything else in this folder.
e.g. c:\Program Files\FARR\plugins\operamail\fscript.dll

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR v2 - Official Bug Tracking and Feature Request Thread

« on: July 14, 2012, 04:34 PM »

tiny bug, while farr is still searching (updating results frame) and you right click on a filename, not being the 1st filename in the search results frame, the results area blanks and the context menu appears on the line where you clicked. When you select "Properties.." from the context menu. The displayed properties are not for the selected file, but for the first file in the result frame. After displaying the properties, farr populates the results frame. You will now also see the name of the first file in the results area again.

Find And Run Robot / request for descript.ion support of files in farr results

« on: July 12, 2012, 03:19 PM »

Mouser,

Would it be possible to show the comment for a file from the descript.ion-file during a find?

In my case the description file contains a lot of extra information about the specific file,
and therefor makes selecting the correct file even easier.
Some examples of descriptions
         old: wether the file contains an old version of a document or
         seen: wether I already finished viewing a specific videofile.

Adding the description field would require an extra column(small icons) or row(big icons) to display the info.
                  this will probably slow down the search, so displaying this data should be optional
                  Program options Display Options Report Columns e.g.
                  [ ] descript.ion

I use total commander all the time to add descript.ions using Ctrl-Z shortcut
Previously I used to rename the file which is not possible when the file is open.
TC allows me to add a description even while the file is open.

I currently also use the description properties editor of rainer @ bahr. De  at  wWw, rbahr, de
you can easily update the descript.ion within farr using Right-Click>>Properties>>Tab description

---
It would even be nicer to let farr also search in the description files, but that is probably too much of a change.
Farr needs to search inside the description file during a search instead of "only" displaying
the description-line belonging to a file from the search result (when available).

Mouser, I've included the farr alias export code to display all the environment variables.

it is just the code as provided above between 'this is the alias'
until 'this is part of the output' containing the problem
just copy paste except for the [  b ] and [ / b ] bold markings which i used to highlight the problem area
nothing special for the name, just ' fdebug'

Code: Text [Select]

Hi,

I made an alias 'fdebug' for showing all the standard variable values.
All values work fine except for %COMPUTERNAME%.

this is the alias

var userprofile = %USERPROFILE% |
var username = %USERNAME% |
var alluserprofile = %ALLUSERSPROFILE% |
var mydocuments = %MYDOCUMENTS% |
var myfavorites = %MYFAVORITES% |
var mydesktop = %MYDESKTOP% |
var alldesktop = %ALLDESKTOP% |
var mystartmenu = %MYSTARTMENU% |
var commonstartmenu = %COMMONSTARTMENU% |
var programfiles = %PROGRAMFILES% |
var mypictures = %MYPICTURES% |
var mymusic = %MYMUSIC% |
var myvideo = %MYVIDEO% |
var myappdata = %MYAPPDATA% |
var commonappdata = %COMMONAPPDATA% |
var commonmusic = %COMMONMUSIC% |
var commonpictures = %COMMONPICTURES% |
var commonvideo = %COMMONVIDEO% |
var fonts = %FONTS% |
var systemdir = %SYSTEMDIR% |
var farrdir = %FARRDIR% |
var configdir = %CONFIGDIR% |
var faruserdata = %FARRUSERDATADIR% - MyLocalData in FARR path place to store user settings and user-modifiable files |
var aliasdir = %ALIASDIR% - When specifying alias commands you may occasionally want to refer to the home directory of the alias |
var plugindir = %PLUGINDIR% - Directory of currently triggered plugin|
var appdrive = %APPDRIVE% - Will be something like based on drive where findandrunrobot was launched |
var computername = %COMPUTERNAME% -- replaced with current computer name |
var lasthwnd = %LASTHWND% - integer value referring to the last window handle that had focus before FARR was triggered |
var lasturl = %LASTURL% - last url navigated or set in internal web browser |
var lasturlset = %LASTURLSET% - last url explicitly set by alias/plugin in web browser |
var customfilebrowser = %CUSTOMFILEBROWSER% - user configured custom file browser string |
var customewebbrowser = %CUSTOMWEBBROWSER% - user configured custom web browser string |
var maxresults = %MAXRESULTS% - current number of max results to show in results, based on search |
var maxresultsdef = %MAXRESULTSDEF% - option set by user for default max results to show in results |
var maxresultsext = %MAXRESULTSEXT% - option set by user for extended max results to show in results |
var lastweberrors = %LASTWEBERRORS% - blank if no web script errors since last web page load, or text of errors |
var searchbox = %SEARCHBOX% - contents of current search box as shown|
var searchstring = %SEARCHSTRING% - current search string; may differ from search box based on alias dosearch manipulations |
var currentresult = %CURRENTRESULT% - currently selected result; useful for creating hotkeys that use it, etc; blank if nothing selected |
var currentresultnb = %CURRENTRESULTNB% - same as above, but = first result if nothing selected |
var aliasprefix = %ALIASPREFIX% - optional prefix for aliasses |

this is part of the output of above command
..
          var appdrive = C: - Will be something like based on drive where findandrunrobot was laun
          var computername = %COMPUTERNAME% -- replaced with current computer name         
          var lasthwnd = 329194 - integer value referring to the last window handle that had focus
...
I expected COMPUTERNAME to be replaced by the computername
Is this a bug?

« on: July 11, 2012, 02:55 PM »

not finding the command might also be caused by spaces in the path %ALIASDIR%, it toook me a while to resolve this one

so don't forget to put quotes around the command if any of the applicable path environment variables contains one or more spaces

replacing
OpenCD | %ALIASDIR%nircmd.exe cdrom d:
by
OpenCD | "%ALIASDIR%nircmd.exe" cdrom d:
worked for me

Hi,

my yahoo mail plugin shows your yahoo in-box, allows you to compose an email and access contact addresses.
 (it is a shamefull copy of the GoogleTasks javascript by rulfzid).

the default command is
yhm
you have to login into the yahoo site as usual.  Only Once if you allow IE to remember your username and password.


How to install:
Create subfolder yahoomail in folder Plugins of FARR main folder e.g. \FARR\plugins\yahoomail\
Put all 4 files from zipfile in that folder (fscript.dll, fscript.cfi, fscript.js, yahoomail.ico)
(do not put anything else in this folder!)
---
farr_yahoomail_plugin.zip (124.05 kB - downloaded 583 times.)
---

• start FARR, go to options (Ctrl-O)
  
• Program Options  >> Settings >> Plugins and Update
  
• press button [ Click to Examine and configure Plugins..]
  
• press [ Find and Reload all Plugins ]
  
• press [OK]
  
• <you can overrule the command yhm by another (available) alias>
  
• press [Close]
  
• press [Ok]

When you follow links in your email. Use right-click-context-menu option back (multiple times) to go back to your inbox.

enjoy!
