I agree with Ath. The quoted text is more highlighted now than the actual message text.
I think quoted text should be subtle than the message text.

With the links above you have an overview from the state of the most popular FF add-ons and a place where you might find an alternative for use in FF 57.

Hi dantheman, happy to hear your problem is solved. I was thinking querying a base table with rules for different sheets, will solve your case but it will be of different approach. Any way let us know your solution.

Less than 2 more months until the NANY 2018 deadline!!!
This is typically the time when people start coding seriously.

I'll remind everyone that we will have at least $1000 to give away this year to participants, and that we need an alternate mug design.  Please help us spread the word!

I don't understand what you mean by "using Everything".
Can you explain?

-hugo nabais (September 28, 2017, 04:24 AM)

He means this http://filehippo.com...download_everything/, I think.

I am using Everything. What's the difference ?

-Contro (September 26, 2017, 03:59 AM)

Everything uses indexing, CSearcher non-indexing, I think.

N.A.N.Y. 2018 / Re: N.A.N.Y. 2018 Announcement

« on: September 01, 2017, 08:10 AM »

This change will mean that coders are no longer "punished" for releasing programs throughout the year and won't feel the need to "hold back" a program until the final days of the year, and makes NANY more a celebration of the new programs that were created in the past year.

-mouser (August 31, 2017, 02:54 PM)

This is very good and needed change. This will help many of us who have earlier abandoned their apps at the last time due to time constraint. We will also get lots more apps in the NANY 2018 list, which is waited anxiously by many bloggers and supporters of DC.

Anand

General Software Discussion / Re: Anyone know a file searcher than can search for X near Y?

« on: August 01, 2017, 06:22 AM »

Mouser,

I have used below quick steps to get this "near" type searches. Obviously both the "words" are in same line.
1. List all lines containing "word1" from all required files.
2. Search for "word2" in the listed lines and list those lines.

Manually look at the lines finally generated to find the one looking for.

I have found these steps quicker to perform than make the regex for it. Try it.

Anand

« on: July 15, 2017, 04:50 AM »

I am not sure if I am handling this in the best way possible, I am basically taking a screenshot every X milliseconds, and running through the entire bitmap looking for a pixel with the color you want.

-p3lb0x (July 14, 2017, 06:54 PM)

You are doing good job. This is the only way, AFAIK. Only you may change X milliseconds, if it is affecting CPU load.
