Hey guys: what great ideas  I really liked the day page idea: Second, I do not use scratch pad at all. I have daily record wikipage I use to put random bits
Thanks Kartal: it's a great way to organise stuff that's not necessarily organised so that it can be organised later... And thanks Justice for your kick start... I've never done anything in AHK before (always used AutoIT myself), but nearly everyone here uses AHK so I'd always thought of getting started (but never really starting  ). So I've combined Kartal's idea of a day page into your script and bingo: wonderful Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [ copy or print] ; WikidJot #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases. SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability. SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory. #j:: ; Win+j hotkey Gui, Add, Button,gButtonOK , &Copy to Clipboard ; The label ButtonOK (if it exists) will be run when the button is pressed. return ; End of auto-execute section. The script is idle until the user does something. ButtonOK: Gui, Submit ; Save the input from the user to each control's associated variable. ; run wikidpad or switch to it IfWinNotExist, MyWiki .wiki - WikidPad ; Look for a specific Wiki ("MyWiki.wiki") { Run, G:\Programmes\WikidPad\Wikidpad .exe -w G:\Documents\MyWiki\MyWiki .wiki ; comment this line with correct paths WinWait, MyWiki .wiki - WikidPad , , 5 } ; ThisDay is the page where all "today's" notes will go: it's date based and will appear in the ParentLess View WinActivate, MyWiki .wiki - WikidPad ; Use filename just in case other windows are open Send, {CTRLDOWN}o {CTRLUP} ; Open WikiPage WinWait, Open Wiki Word ; Wait for the window Send, %ThisDay% ; Enter the PageName Send, {ENTER} ; Close the Open Wiki Page window WinWaitActive, Create , , 1 ; Wait to see if the Create Dialog is displayed { Send, {ALTDOWN}y {ALTUP} ; Of course we want to create a new page! } ControlFocus, wxWindowClassNR2 ; Set the focus on the editor in case it's not { ; The 3rd section of the Status Bar displays where the cursor is, use this to show when we've reached the end of the page if AfterText = %BeforeText% } ControlFocus, wxWindowClassNR2 ; Set the focus on the editor in case it's not Send, {ENTER}{ENTER} ; Add a couple of lines Send, %Clip% ; Insert our text

thansk for the script, I will try it today.
One more method I use is through "launchy" . I made launcy command "todo" which uses my default notepad and sends my path\to\mytodo.wiki as argument to notepad. What I do is press "capslock" to activate launcy and type "todo". This will open "mytodo.wiki" in my default notepad and then I will type the stuff, for example todo:read the book. Since "todo:" is a special keyword in wikipad it will show in special view. In wikipad mytodo wiki page will be activated with the new stuff I just have typed. It works great. And you can use this for any wiki page since all are text based
What I am looking for is actually a way to append text to any file via command line. This way I can just pass any text line to any wiki page without opening any text editor via launcy or farr. Probably there is a way but I have not searched for a solution seriously yet.

Justice that adds to bottom of the text, is there a way to add to beginning of the text file?

Thanks for the review! I thought about using/trying TiddlyWiki a few times - but didn't yet - and won't use/test WikidPad any time soon, but it's great to know what to expect. For the time being, I'm using .txt files that I can easily find with Locate ( http://www.donationcoder....um/index.php?topic=1385.0) and MindMaps for developing connected thoughts. |

You'd have to (using a batch): 1. write your line of text to a new file 2. write the old file to the new file 3. delete the old file 4. rename the new file to the old file Or easy enough using a script (VBS,JS,AiT,AHK, etc) to use concatenate the two (in the correct order) and overwrite the original file. But reading your original question I thought you were wanting to write to a specific Wiki page? If you use the Original Gadfly Database Type then each Page/Word is saved as a different file. Then you'd be able to add text to the end of the file. |

Perry I use txt based database so yes I can edit the text files. Also Mouser told me in another topic that he had wrote a text appender for FARR, it can add to beginning or ending of a file. I had tested it works great

echo your text here >> temp.txt type todo.wiki >> temp.txt move temp.txt todo.wiki /-y or create a batch file add.bat: @echo off
echo %2 >> temp.txt
type %1 >> temp.txt
move temp.txt %1 /-y and then call it like: add.bat todo.wiki "your text here" edit: oops it's /-y to confirm overwriting if the destination file exists. |

Here is a nice Wikidpad trick.
You can clone wikidpad with current page (view-clone window)
Now one window will be in edit mode and the other one will be in html preview mode.
When you change your content in edit mode, the next preview window(clone) will also update the content.

First new beta since January released last weekend... Jul. 27, 2008 (1.9beta16) - Option to set color of editor margin.
See OptionsDialog#*Margin# color*
- Option to set color of tree background.
See OptionsDialog#++++# Tree# options
- Option to set length of recent wikis list.
See OptionsDialog#*Recent# wikis# list# length*
- Option to store relative pathes to recent wikis.
See OptionsDialog#*Store# relative# pathes# to# wikis*
- Bug fixed: "Open Wiki Word" dialog was sometimes closed
when keeping it open makes more sense
- Bug reduced(?): Linux: Handling of local file URLs to start
applications works better
- Support for all uppercase and lowercase letters in the
Unicode set for creating camel-case wiki words independent of OS language
Wish development was a little faster - I am using Wikidpad a lot, but there are a few shortcomings that I'd like to see resolved. |

Thanks Ampa! Yes, I'm using WikidPad more and more, and it is somewhat slow, but if it stays slow and steady I'll be happy... |

How can I copy a table from excel into Wikidpad?
Of course the table structure is quite different, eh? In WikidPad I generally do: [ copy or print] <<| Cell One:One | Cell One:Two Cell Two:One | Cell Two:Two >> So all you'd need to do is to write some VBA to put your Excel cells into that format and put it on the clipboard ready for pasting into WikidPad. At my last job I wrote a macro to do the same thing but formatted for Confluence, I'll see if I can dig it up... |

OK, found it and made the few changes for WikidPad... 1. Copy the following code into the WorkBook Code.Formatted for Visual Basic with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [ copy or print] Sub SelectionToWiki() Dim specialChars As String specialChars = Chr(7) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & "\" result = "" For i = 1 To Selection.Rows.Count 'result = result & "| " For j = 1 To Selection.Columns.Count Dim cell As Range Set cell = Selection.Cells(i, j) cellStr = cell.Value ' New Lines don't work in WikidPad Cells so cellStr = Replace(cellStr, Chr(10), " / ") If cell.Font.Bold Then cellStr = "*" & cellStr & "*" If cell.Font.Italic Then cellStr = "_" & cellStr & "_" result = result & cellStr & " | " Next ' remove the last pipe result = Left(result, Len(result) - 3) ' add a line feed result = result & Chr(13) Next ' wrap the table formatting result = "<<|" & Chr(13) & result & ">>" Dim MyDataObj As New DataObject MyDataObj.SetText result MyDataObj.putinclipboard MsgBox "WikidPad table copied to clipboard: " & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & result End Sub
2. Add a table to the WorkSheet: 3. Select the Range to copy4. Run the Macro: Alt+F8 and select the Macro and click "Run"5. Paste the clipboard into a WikidPad Page. It should look like this: Formatted for HTML with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [ copy or print] <<| *Heading Two* | *Heading Two* | *Heading Three* _Two :: Two_ | Two :: Two | Two :: Three Two :: Two | Two :: Two | Two :: Three Three :: Two | Three :: Two | _Three :: Three_ Four :: Two / Four :: Two: Line Two | Four :: Two / Four :: Two: Line Two | Four :: Three / Four :: Three: Line Two >>
6. Preview the page. It should look like this:  |
