Living Room / Python scripts I need

« on: May 12, 2010, 11:44 AM »

Hallo!
I have finally decided to do that which I have been trying to do using Python.
I have a need for some simple Python scripts and need a programmer to code them for me.
Is there anyone who is able to write three simple Python scripts to get my last 'push' underway.
The Python scripts I need are:
1. To count words in a sentence or string and put the number in brackets after the text end.
2. To insert tags following words in phrases of a sentence in English. (The tags will come from a simple table).
3. To translate the phrases which now have the English tags using the words with German tags from a dictionary test table.
Anyone willing to take on the task can reply to this email and I will add a post tomorrow with the files needed.
Thanks and I hope for responses.
Since they will be using the Python interpreter, I would like if possible to execute the scripts from a command line.
Regards, forkinpm.

Mouser's Zone / My previous posts on my translation model efforts

« on: April 13, 2010, 08:00 AM »

Hallo!
I have arrived at a point where I have a model which works using a convetional text editor.
It is supported by three CSV files:
Sentences being translated are marked with number of words as are any phrases. [13].
1. English German dictionary, a self-buildt object. Built form my own desktop word usage.
2. An English german phrase glossary of several thousand entries, also from the desktop usage and
3. A growing collection of translated sentence pairs.
For these three I would like to have a customisable interface, such that I can.
1. For the dictionary post a phrase for look-up with head-word marked to direct the look up on three words (typically)
2. For the glossary find all entries with a particular string (the lookup should be 100% hit) and
3. For the sentence pairs (the lookup could be from 70% hit to 100% hit).
Does anyone know of such a script?
How difficult is it to make from a layout definition?
I have downloaded LineByter to test it.
Kind regards, forkinpm.

General Software Discussion / My text file manipulation needs

« on: October 12, 2009, 06:56 AM »

Hallo!
I am a writer and not a programmer, but am in search of easy to use tools to tackle simple tasks.
They are almost always associated with text files & a tagged CSV English - German dictionary.
For the tasks I have I would like to try and use AutoHotKey. I seem to have no luck with programming languages.
The task I am trying to perform is:
1. Open a simple text file of sentences.
2. Open a CSV dictionary file
3. Read words in turn from the text file, find them each in the dictionary and
4. Copy the Parts-of-Speech for each from dictionary
5. Write the tags in brackets following each word in the text file.
Is it possible to do this uising AutoHotKey?
Has anyne tried it or done it?
Can he or she help me?
Or has one of the donation-coders a better way?
I'd be very grateful.
Thanks and regards, forkinpm.

General Software Discussion / Wher does one post a software development requirement?

« on: April 04, 2009, 02:17 AM »

Hallo!
To anyone who can help.
I have a question which is;
"Where does one post a requirement for a piece of software which one wishes to have developed"?
I was under the impression that this is a key orientation of the site, but there are no directions to find an appropriate slot to insert such a post and get it distributed to interested potential developers.
Or is it that such a potential customer is expected to set up a new project into which he inserts his post?
Any help will be kindly appreciated.
Kind regards, forkinpm.

LaunchBar Commander / Early use of LaunchBar Commander

« on: March 13, 2009, 08:44 AM »

Hallo to you all!
I downloaded recently and yesterday created my first launch bar with some 15 items and it works more or less to my satisfaction, except that trying to use a command line seems to be problematic.
Why, I am uncertain, but intend to try and find out during the course of today.
It is a product I have long wanted to have and now wish to get an optimal use from it. Congrats to the developer!
I began with the intention of creating process related launch Bars.
Trying to create a second bar for a new process and its steps seemed not to work.
Can someone please point me in the right direction to understand how to create a new LaunchBar fully independent of the first bar I have created and be able to launch a particular bar at will?
Can it be that if three bars are created all three will be launched with Windows and that the user must toggle betwen them?
Or is it possible to create launch bars totally independent of each other and at configuration time only open the one to be configured or used?
Or can one only create and use one bar and then have to put all processes on the same bar?
Hoping for answers, kind regards, forkinpm.

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Fixing windows using gridmove

« on: January 13, 2009, 07:25 AM »

Hallo!
I am not a programmer and have a simple question to ask on using gridmove.
Q. Is it possible to store the positions and sizes of windows used in a template?
This would certainly ease their reuse and regular use.
I hope that it is possible.
If is possible only with an editor capable of storing its layout position, can someone
please recommend such an editor.
The script has much more value than at first sight is apparent to one using it.
Thanks and regards, forkinpm.

Developer's Corner / Tool to convert HTML pages website into a secure EXE

« on: January 12, 2009, 10:57 AM »

Hallo!
And this is my second post today.
I have developed a platform for users to create a personal knowledge management application.
The material and methods are unique and the whole is built from generally freeware or open source tools.
It is the methods and model techniques which are unique.
I wish to publish the platform as a set of tutorials and will sell it for a modest sum.
The revenue of Euro 30,00 per licence will be donated to a charity we are to fund.
To protect the material against download or illicit copying I wish to use a secure method of compiling
the HTML pages into an EXE.
Who has such, knows of such, has experienced the use of such or can program such?
He or she can please take contact with to discuss the method or tool.
I look forward to any good propositions.
Kind regards, forkinpm.

General Software Discussion / I need some help from tools in my project

« on: January 12, 2009, 09:09 AM »

Hallo to you all!

I have just stumbled across the DonationCoders site and the concept and product set it offers.
I am very impressed.
I would like to try and get support for a platform I am putting together.
Not being a programmer, but a writer, the only way I am able to realise a platform is by using a good editor and tools from freeware, shareware offerings or from sites such as DonationCoder. I have downloaded some programs and will begin to test them with the editor.

I wish to add to my chosen text editor the following functions.
1. Open a command line prompt.
1. 1. Using its functions to call a program to execute and add files it needs.
1. 2. Get the results in a separate window.
2. Open programs for execution.
2. 1. These are typically translation tools or Dictionary access.
3. They can also be 'find text in files' programs.
3. 1. These are usually dual language files and allow copying of found text back to the original file, which triggered the calling of the program. The dual language files are often my own.
3. 2. The windows will be popups and not affect underlying programs.
3. 3. Strings may be copied from an open window prior to calling a program and copied into its window.

I am in need of tools to be able to perform the functions I have listed. Anyone able to support my needs with products particularly where he is programming member of the DonationCoders group, is welcome to reply.

I need the help and look forward to any positive responses.

Kind regards, forkinpm.
