If I where you,
I would have one folder on my desktop
full of hardlinks (junctions) to these other folders.

So if I need to see the content of one special folder,
I just would click at that hardlink.
(and those folder each would have a hardlink back to desktop folder.

But in real I would just use a good file manager ;-)

Post New Requests Here / Mothers Text Encryptor - simple encrypt text - any ideas or coder out there?

« on: February 11, 2014, 01:35 PM »

Hi, I am searching for a tool to encrypt text.

I have found many funny and wired progs, some sitting in the tray and watching clipboard or waiting for a hotkey pressed.


But I have not found what I really looking for (maybe someone still needs an idea for NANY2014?):

- portable app, no dependencies, no registry mess, just launch - use - close
- small executable (assembler? 20kB is enough, easy to share)
- notepad like interface/GUI
- no funny options, no load or save (well, maybe nifty), just encrypt and decrypt
- using standard formats to encrypt in this order:
1.) ROT18 or ROT47
2.) AES crypter 256
3.) base64
- do vice versa to decrypt

Step 2 should ask for pass phrase.

- - -

My usage:
- write or paste plain text (ASCII or Unicode)
- click on [Encrypt] and enter password /prase
- select all and copy to clipboard

And vice versa:
- paste encrypted text
- click at [Decrypt] and enter password /prase


- - -

I think, the main trick is the base64 encoding, with that we are able to exchange the text via clipboard and email.
And the automatically use of three steps to obscure the data.

We can already use EDXOR (http://members.ozema...tv/freezip/freeware/)  or an text editor with a
few scripts to do that, or utilizing online tools, but I want a simple, no hassle tool for the mothers of us to use  

- - -

Note:
I don't want to encrypt files itself or save encrypted text to file. I just want to encrypt text and then copy it. (and vice versa)

- - -
More ideas:

Maybe "select all and copy to clipboard" could be implemented as an button too?

An extra feature would be a command line option:
MTE.exe -e/-d -p pw123 -in xxx.txt -out xxx.txt.enc

Plus if possible an option to use a keyword for -input/-output to tell the app to use text from/to clipboard.
MTE.exe -e/-d -p pw123 -in {clipboard} -out {clipboard}

Maybe an option for -p to show an dialog to prompt for the password (like -a for 'ask').


Any ideas of existing tools?

« on: December 13, 2013, 01:52 AM »

IDEA - how to capitalise the first word of every line and behind an dot?


I think every text editor with Format Sentence-Case should be able to do that. E.g. Notepad2.




To work on only the first char of every line use a text editor with \L, \U regex metachars like EmEditor.
Find: ^(\w)
Repl: \U\1




Or with XYplorer:

Code: Text [Select]

1. $file = readfile("c:\Temp\input.txt");
2.  
3.    $out="";
4.    foreach( $line, $file, "<crlf>"){
5.          $first = recase(substr($line, 0, 1), "upper");
6.          $rest  =        substr($line, 1);
7.          $out   = $out . $first . $rest . "<crlf>";
8.    }
9.    text $out;
10.   //writefile("c:\Temp\out.txt", $out);

Or with PowerShell (v2.0 Syntax)

#Upper case first char in line, here also chars after dot, exclamation or question marks too:
Get-Content hymn-book.txt | ForEach-Object{ [Regex]::Replace($_, '^\w|[.!?]\s+\w', {param($mymatch) $mymatch.Value.toUpper()})}


Note: "ForEach-Object" can be shorten to "foreach" and even to just "%"

Finished Programs / Re: Another small clipboard monitor

« on: November 25, 2013, 03:10 AM »

Hi flamerz, good work!


If I would use this tool I would miss two options from the menu:

* Add Header
* Add Footer



As header I would imagine the title of the window I had captured from, additional a timestamp.
like: "2013-11-25 10:10:29 - N.A.N.Y. 2014 Submission: clipboard monitor "rpclip" - DonationCoder.com - Mozilla Firefox"

As footer I could need a separator line like "\r\n\r\n /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \r\n\r\n"


Just my ideas

[copy or print]
'[copy' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

-TaoPhoenix (October 09, 2013, 07:04 AM)

This "[copy or print]" line comes from this forum software and has nothing to do with the batch,
so don't copy that line to your batch.

System error 1060 has occurred.
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

You have to exchange the name of the service behind the "NET STOP " command
with the name of the service you want to stop. (Open a DOS-Box and type "NET START" to see all available services you can perhaps could stop)

Win XP if that helps

I don't know, but for WinXP the parameters for the shutdown command are used with an hyphen instead with an slash as for Win7:
 http://www.microsoft...utdown.mspx?mfr=true
http://www.computerhope.com/shutdown.htm

So you should use
SHUTDOWN -s
instead of
SHUTDOWN /s

Step-by-Step:

- create a new text file on your desktop

- open it to edit and enter:

[Select]

@ECHO OFF
REM Everything behind the word REM is just a comment
REM Your description, what this batch does goes here...

REM stop this services:
REM (type NET START in a DOS-BOX to see the service names to use here)

NET STOP theNameOfServiceToStop
NET STOP "theNameOfService with blanks to stop"

REM shut down the PC. Enter 'shutdown /?' into a DOS-Box to see all available parameters
SHUTDOWN /S

REM this is the end, my friend

- save this file with a CMD extension like shutdown.cmd
- double click this batch file and watch your PC shutting down.


I can't guarantee that it will work with your environment and settings...
Maybe you have to right click the batch and choose "Run As Admin" for Vista/Win7 to execute with enough rights.
Perhaps you have to enter a line or two in between to wait before doing the next step, like
PING -n 8 127.1.2.3 >NUL


Any more questions? Just asks...

General Software Discussion / Re: software recommendations - photo/graphics editors

« on: September 18, 2013, 12:58 PM »

Some ideas, maybe from use for someone...

I doesn't have much use for a graphic editor this days.
Only a little bit cropping, color and brightness adjustment, drawing a arrow, little rotation and like that.

So I searched for free and portable lightweight apps and found this recently:
Hornil StylePix - Free Photo Editor
PixBuilder Studio - Free photo editing software - WnSoft

In the past I used Photofiltre too to create the graphic pack for SC.
Also from time to time I use pay ware PhotoLine (there was a giveaway on german c't magazin years ago. Still have too less use for it to buy a newer version)
And then I have bought some cheap older PhotoImpact from the electric bay. But often I just use a "patched" trial of version 8 (2002?) because it's small and all I need.

As viewer I use Irfan View every day since years. (reminder to me: check last donation time)

General Software Discussion / Vim 7.4 - 7.4a BETA has been made available. Why VIM?

« on: July 23, 2013, 02:49 PM »

So vim is vi with extra vim, right? But it's still a commandline editor?

-oblivion (July 23, 2013, 11:46 AM)

VIM is VI IMproved. So yes, VIM is VI with many improvements.

There is a VIM.exe for terminal or commandline window (DOS-Box) and also gVIM with a normal gui and with toolbar and menus (you can create your own menus)


The advantage of VIM is for me that every keystroke can be a command and literal text,.. depending on the mode you are in.
There are action commands and movement commands, and you can combine them together, like (d)elete(w)ord or (V)isualSelect till (})end-of-paragraph
or "ddw             : store what you delete in register/clipboard d
"d :  use register d
d : delete
w : word

That way you can do many nifty things by just a few keystrokes: in a nutshell >> http://rayninfo.co.uk/vimtips.html
I guess this editor is only for people who work with text on a daily basic, else you wont get all that nifty tricks in to your fingers.
First it seams to be a many extra work to think about "ddw, but once you can memorize it f needed, it's a great workflow.
VIM has a command line, so you can just map the command "ddw to a key like F3 and use that the next few times you need it. ( just 'nmap <F1> "ddw <enter>' and here you go)
Actions are e.g. '(v) select', '(y)ank/copy' and '(d)elete'. Movements are e.g. '/findme', '(w)ord', '$' end of line, '}' next empty line, '%' to bracket, 'f"' to next quote,...
So you can use ' f " v f " y ' to find next quote, change to visual mode, select till next quote, and copy to register/clipboard.


========================================

(g)lobally[whole file] search for lines containing 'TODO'
and then (y)ank[copy] this line to register[clipboard] U (upper case U means 'append' to u)
use:

:g/TODO/y U


To yank the next line too, just add a '2':
:g/TODO/y U 2


To yank one line before and one after, use:
:g/TODO/-,+y U


To yank one line before and two after, use:
:g/TODO/-,+2y U

========================================

Select between quotes, or parenthesis, or whole paragraph, or <Tag>, or,or,or...:

vi"
vi)
vip
vit
 
More e.g. there > http://www.vimdrills...drill-3-text-objects

========================================

Best watch some vids to see how VIM works

http://vimeo.com/15443936
http://lococast.net/.../category/screencast
http://net.tutsplus....casts-and-resources/

http://media.vimcast...1/markdown_macro.ogv


VimSpeak Demo - playing VimGolf using only voice
http://www.youtube.c.../watch?v=qy84TYvXJbk


Me thinking: only if you will need such tricks often on a daily basic, or you are a programmer, then VIM is for you. No?
If you just want to read a few readme.txt files or write only a little now and then, then other editors may be much more nifty for you.


HTH?

You should read the announcements on that homepage, or the announcement thread of v13 here.

Then, when I open a .RTF document I see also the codes of the RTF format (for example "\par")!!!!!
Is EmEditor just that way or did I miss something?

EmEditor is a text editor. Not an RTF editor. Plain text only. Like notepad, notepad2, notepad++,...

« on: July 04, 2013, 04:35 PM »

- Use SED or any other text editor

-add in front of all lines

MOVE "


-add at end of all lines

"       "X:\new\path"


That should get you
MOVE "F:\1_B\2003\01 2003\important\publication 01 2003\Béec2002.pdf"      "X:\new\path"
MOVE "F:\1_B\2003\01 2003\important\publication 01 2003\Béec2001.pdf"      "X:\new\path"
MOVE "F:\1_B\2003\01 2003\important\publication 01 2003\Béec2000.pdf"      "X:\new\path"
...
etc


- save with .CMD extension and execute


You may want to try with one or two files only and maybe with COPY instead of MOVE first.
Open a command line window and type 'move /?' to read more.
