N.A.N.Y. 2014 Release: Text Inspection & Manipulation Utility

<< < (4/27) > >>

phitsc:
Seems like .NET 4.0 is the latest version supported by Windows XP SP 3 (download).

TaoPhoenix, if you want you can re-download using the link in the first post and try on your XP machine (if you have SP 3 and .NET 4.0 installed).

Yeah Phit, that looks much better. I haven't actually tested it yet, but it opens and looks "sensible" if you know what I mean aka no horrible bugs etc. (Heh I provide an interesting test case because my comp's OS has gone slightly downhill, and a few "obvious" things don't work on it.)

Thanks for checking!  :Thmbsup:

So I'll pick a day later when I am in my "testing mood" and poke at it. Quick memo for now: under "Web" and then "source" without anything selected, I get:

"Error: The path is not of a legal form."

So I don't know what that means. If you're trying to tell the user that he hasn't entered any data, maybe you can do a quick check and just advise that "the field is blank ... you need to enter a web page address" or something.

It expects a URL in the input field. To be honest, I wanted to hold back with help/manual/instructions until someone actually showed some interest. On the other hand, I'm sure I won't know what it expects a month from now so some hints/minimal instructions definitely won't hurt even if I end up being the only one using the application.


But in other news, for "my education", do just say what version of .Net you used that other time - 5.x? So does Windows 7 support that and up etc?

The newest version seems to be .NET 4.5

Also, I'm stunned that a 36k application can do all that stuff and still have a GUI on top! How is that even possible!? So that puts a perspective on "today's Bloatware"! (3-18 megs for simple programs, etc. If you did all that in 36k, what are those other programs wasting 18 megs on?!)

That's because all the bloat is in the .NET runtime. The download I linked above is 48MB!  :D

DyNama:
Glad you find TIMU useful DyNama. I've implemented some of your suggestions. Hope they work for you.

Yes, very handy! i can take that search string, break it into lines, sort it, then join all the lines back into the search string, now all in the same program! Thanx, phitsc!

phitsc:
I won't have time to work on this any more this year so I'm calling it released.

DeVamp:
This is a nice tool.
I see me using it a lot.

Some first suggestions for manipulations:
- add or remove a certain string to the beginning/end of all lines
- Replace a string with another string
- Remove HTML tags (with keeping the newlines)
- Remove empty lines
- Make the List --> filter case insensitive

/edit
Maybe make it an option : work case sensitive/insensitive

DeVamp:
Some more suggestions:
(taken from an old plugin for Notepad++,but that plugin doesn't works anymore...)

Some functions ask multiple optional parameters. Just see what you can do with it.

All line functions


* ReverseLines(): Reverses the order of all the lines.
* Scramble(): rearranges the lines in random order.
* SetBlanks(int minblank, int maxblank, int threshhold): Changes the number of blank lines between lines.
* SortCase(): Like sort, but case-sensitive.
* Wrap(int columncount, int ignorewords): Adds hard returns to force columns to a certain width.
Per-Line Functions


* AddLineNumbers(string separator, string padchar, int length): Puts the line number on the front of each line, with an optional separator.
* AddLineNumbersOffset(string separator, string padchar, int length, int offset): Puts the line number on the front of each line, with an optional separator.  Offset is the number of the first line.

* PadLeft(string padchar, int length): Pads the beginning of each line with padchar to extend the length where necessary
* PadRight(string padchar, int length): Pads the end of each line with padchar to extend the length where necessary
* ShortenLeft(int length): Removes characters from the beginning of each line if the line is too long
* ShortenRight(int length): Removes characters from the end of each line if the line is too long
* SizeLeft(string padchar, int length): Pads or cuts the beginning of each line to make it the exact length
* SizeRight(string padchar, int length): Pads or cuts the end of each line to make it the exact length
* Trim(string badchars): Strips all badchars from the beginning and end of every line.
