Post New Requests Here / Re: auto copy mouse highlighted text from any program

« on: June 10, 2024, 11:41 PM »

ah yes, i'm using the ahk 1.x script in that thread now. i can select text and paste it with middle click. i am never going back to ctrl+c / ctrl+v again!

i wonder if there is an updated script?

Post New Requests Here / auto copy mouse highlighted text from any program

« on: June 10, 2024, 04:01 PM »

in one piece of software i use, it auto copies to clipboard anything i highlight.

i thought this was a neat feature, but why not make it universal to all software and operating system?

i see there is a tool to do it, autoclipX but it is not developed anymore and website is gone. i am not sure if it works in windows10 either. i havent tested it yet.

i saw autoclipx from this reddit thread while looking for a tool: https://www.reddit.c...ted_text_on_windows/

web archive of autoclipx website (last? version when it was freeware): https://web.archive....0/software/autoclipx

screenshot: https://images.sftcd...clipx-screenshot.png

(i am not interested in funding this program.)

it looks like its possible with AHK https://www.autohotk...lect-implementation/

no more crashing!
also it doesnt use a lot of ram,  even on large lists. i am impressed!

hmm. does this work on win2k ? https://superuser.co...op-folder-in-windows

congrats on using win2k this long. i was able to use win2k until about 2010. so i made it 10 years!   

actually this program looks like what you want . maybe it can be modified. but i dont know about win2k https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=50889.0

another string that causes crash.

"FÃ¥rö Document    [Documentary]   [1970].mkv"

can we get an update program that doesn't crash on these?

also this crashes: (i might edit and put more below)
"Movies\\[1971]\\David Lean   A Self Portrait   [Documentary]   [1971]"

here are some stress test lists. these are from youtube titles and it crashes. probably due to non english character.

fuzzy match works!

document the default ratio / partial ratio / token set etc from fuzzysharp into help menu?

alpha-4 has a weird bug where the matches result lists switch. its not important bug. i just report it.

Anthropophagous
First list:
Anthropophagous.1980.REMASTERED.1080p.BluRay.x264.DTS-FGT.mkv.torrent
Anthropophagus (1980) DTS (Custom 5.1 Mix).torrent
Anthropophagus 1980 1080p GBR Blu-ray AVC LPCM 2.0-CultFilmsT.torrent
Anthropophagus.1980.1080p.BluRay.x264-FAPCAVE.torrent
Anthropophagus.1980.BD.Baggerinc.torrent
ANTROPOPHAGUS.Mg.torrent
Antropophagus.torrent
Second list:
Anthropophagous [1980]

fuzzy matching is slower. i know there is nothing that can be done to speed this up, no worries. a progress/working indicator or progress bar would be nice. maybe just a little animated gif ?

having years reusable wont help though. at least not that i can see. these are all different films with the same titles.

see the alice movie results:

Alice
First list:
Alice [1982]
Alice [1991]
Second list:
Alice (1988).mkv

Alice in Wonderland
First list:
Alice in Wonderland [1999]
Alice in Wonderland [2010]
Second list:
Alice in Wonderland (1903).mkv

its best to have a mismatched-year list.  or its fine to just leave it as is for now. year matching is not high priority. and i like the year matching how it is right now.

i look forward to next updated version soon! i am in need of this program more than i thought. especially because of the crash filename bug!

no, i prefer just having a third output list with mismatched years.

relying on a 3rd party server will break always.

i forgot to say that i am happy with your progress , and your designs so far.

i look forward to exclusion ability for better matching

i dont need fuzzy matching first , but you kept asking so i go for it

General Software Discussion / batch scripting

« on: May 19, 2024, 09:34 PM »

i was doing a lot of grepping and it was causing a toll on my hands typing all the extra characters.

so i made a bat file

g.bat:
@echo off
grep -i %1 * | grep -i %2

now i'm wondering if i can make it so i just run it once, and i can just type the grep search words over and over again ?

what i mean is: instead of:
grep -i foo * | grep -i bar
grep -i foo1 * | grep -i bar1
and then, with bat file it looks like this:
g foo bar
g foo1 bar1

i can just do
g.bat
foo bar
(results for foo bar)
foo1 bar1
(results for foo1 bar1)
foo2 bar2
(results for foo2 bar2)

without having to type g each time.


also would be nice to be able to do g foo (it currently errors because the second grep is empty), or g foo bar zed hex whatever number of grep searches i need to do at once.

its been so long i cant remember what this stuff is even called in batch to search how to script it.

i thought up a solution to different films having different years.

i think having a "year mismatch" output list

another feature:
a count of matched/unmatched strings would be nice
auto saving of matches/unmatched to default .txt names
drag and drop lists?
command line interface if possible ?

i think fuzzy matching will fix pretty much all these issues.

if you need more sample list just do a dir /a /s > list1.txt and compare it to the same list. good for stress testing mem and cpu usage as well.

super crash!

works ok with list1 / list2 / list3

but trying my lists, i get a crash. my lists may have unicode (or just non english codepage) characters in the filenames. i dont need to compare these filenames, and would rather have them ignored.

attached is a sample filename which crashes

running sed "s/[^\x00-\x7F]//g" list.txt
seems to fix the issue and allows me to use the program on my list.

as for matching... well. there are problems. the year has to be matched. but i do like that years are sometimes matched because sometimes movie years will be incorrect from filename to filename. a release date vs a production date or theatrical release date. so i dont know what i want here. i've seen years be off by 3 or even 8 years from what imdb claims. not sure this can be fixed, its an imdb issue

Alice
First list:
Alice [1982]
Alice [1991]
Second list:
Alice (1988).mkv

Alice in Wonderland
First list:
Alice in Wonderland [1999]
Alice in Wonderland [2010]
Second list:
Alice in Wonderland (1903).mkv

All Quiet on the Western Front
First list:
All Quiet on the Western Front [1979]
Second list:
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930).mkv

but these didnt match. the following might be useful for fuzzy match testing?

list1
Child's Play [1988]
Child's Play 2 [1990]
Child's Play 3 [1991]
Child's Play Sidney Lumet, 1972
Necronomicon

The Necronomicon [2009]
RiffTrax - The Psychotronic Man (1979) mp4
The Psychotronic Man -  The Psychotronic Man 1980 Movie FULL HD (480p_25fps_H264-128kbit_AAC)  srt
The Phantom Creeps [1939]
ROTOR_divx avi

list2
01 Child’s Play (1988) 3 Commentaries.mkv
03 Childs Play 3 (1991).mkv
Necronomicon (1993).mkv
Psychotronic Man.mp4
R.O.T.O.R..mkv
Phantom Creeps.mp4


(its why i wanted to ignore words like "the". because sometimes they use the "the" and sometimes "not".

I see Vic is on the task, but I think what you're asking for is usually called fuzzy string matching.  Try a Web search, there seems plenty of Python work on it, and take a look at Comparing Strings Is Easy With FuzzyWuzzy.

thanks, i didnt know what it was called.

this stackoverflow post has some info about scoring fuzzy matches, and the output kinda sounds exactly what i was describing, although i dont know how useful that output would be until using it. and i wouldnt want the match percentage to be output in a new list anyhow.

- First, the MovieList for direct movie comparison.

-paradisusvic (May 15, 2024, 07:38 PM)

this already exists i think. its just uniq -d

for example, with the lists i provided:

C:\>cat list* | sort | uniq -d
The.Last.Married.Couple.In.America.1980.720p.BluRay.x264.AAC-[YTS.MX].mp4
The.Osterman.Weekend.1983.720p.BluRay.x264.YIFY.mp4
The.Wild.Life.1984.720p.BluRay.x264.AAC-[YTS.MX].mp4

C:\>uniq --version
uniq (textutils) 2.1
C:\>cat --version
cat (GNU textutils) 2.0

but that wouldnt tell me which list has the duplicate because i had to concatenate the files.
all i really need is a fuzzy uniq for comparing two lists...

and if i google fuzzy uniq theres 'funiq'

https://github.com/mjfisheruk/funiq

Funiq (fuzzy uniq) is a command line tool for performing fuzzy string matching against lists of words.

and the examples it is using to compare? movie titles! hahaha :finger pointing at brain.meme:

but the ability to exclude words and characters would make for better matches. i see some fuzzy matching toolkits use scrubbers to scrub the inputs first.

- Second, Fuzzy-matching for adding more/partial results.
Tokens + ignore list of words

fuzzy matching looks difficult
