General Software Discussion / Re: Extract REGEX matches from multiple text files

« on: August 05, 2018, 03:51 PM »

Now we are getting somewhere, sort of.

You only didn't tell what other parts of the data you need extracted from each record, besides the ui_mode field, and what the identifying field is that should go in the first column of the csv output you suggested earlier.

-Ath (August 05, 2018, 03:24 PM)

Is your second line a question?

-kalos (August 05, 2018, 03:48 PM)

Yes, 2 actually.

This example is totally useless.

Please extract 2 or 3 of those (complete) product records from your actual data file. Optionally replace confidential stuff (data, prices)with aaaaa, bbbbb, 1.23, etc., but leave the structure exactly as it is!
Then post that here.

If you are searching for a regex within a regex, 'You Are Doing It Wrong' (T).

You initial requirement was to find and extract content using a regex, but now you need parts of that regex to be split out? That can be done using a single regex, grouping the stuff you need to split out.
And for this whole exersize to make any sense, where is the variable part of the data to find? When searching for explicit text(s), a count would suffice...
Please provide a complete example, with actual data (not an entire file!), clearly marking the stuff you need to extract, of what you want to achieve, not how you think it could/should be solved.

I expect you comprehend what's written there, it seems quite suited for powershell n00bs.

Thanks but I struggle to follow. I find AHK much more straight forward. But how can I make it work with a 25GB?

-kalos (August 04, 2018, 03:46 PM)

Please stop asking for an AHK solution, those that participated here sofar aren't going to provide it, as a perfect solution is already provided.

If you had tried the script at actual data, you wouldn't have asked again about the 'measily' 25 GB files; yes, ofcourse it will take some time to process, but so does an 18.8 minute powershell crash course.
Powershell is built on the foundation of .NET, so it knows how to handle files efficiently.

Why did you leave these rather important 'details' out in your original question?

The scriptlanguage used is Microsoft's PowerShell, the aimed successor of cmd with its relatively poor language batch (.bat/.cmd) scripts, that comes standard installed with Win10, Win8.1 and Win8, and can easily be installed on older Windows versions.

Copy the script to a file with .ps1 extension, adjust the 1st line to your desired resultsfile, adjust in the 3rd line *.txt to the extension of your data files, press the Start button and start typing powershell to find that, then run the script from the directory where your data files are.
Largish files are no issue for PowerShell.

General Software Discussion / Re: How to extract tree hierarchy in xml?

« on: July 30, 2018, 03:01 PM »

And if the OP feels really adventurous, he could try to use PowerShell, it seems to handle XML quite nicely, like I found in this ServerFault item, but it helps if you speak XPath, I guess...

You could also use an online one.

-wraith808 (July 30, 2018, 02:04 PM)

It doesn't have much of the features the OP asked, though, and I'm a bit worried how/if it will handle a large xml file...

« on: July 30, 2018, 12:41 PM »

is there an XML reader that can extract the hierarchy tree of a specific line?

-kalos (July 30, 2018, 09:55 AM)

I use Notepad++ with plug-ins "XML Tools" and "Npp XML Treeview". The XML Tools plug-in has a nice and quick formatting feature (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-B), XPath expression evaluation and it shows the path to the current node when pressing Ctrl-Alt-Shift-P. With the treeview plug-in you can see the structure of the xml nodes (but not the attributes), and quickly select a node.

If that doesn't suffice, there's always XML Copy Editor, an open source specialized XML editor with a lot of features, including XSLT and XPath support. I hardly use it but it does offer some features not easily available in Notepad++ with it's plug-ins.

-kimbriki (July 21, 2018, 05:46 PM)

But what makes you think that your users won't know how to stop this AHK script (right-click, exit, or kill it from task manager) so they can still mess around with the LBC settings... This has been my concern since you requested this and why I responded like I did. I'd call this a temporary workaround, at most.

I'd go for the lighter color. It'll get a little darker when the second coat is applied, and probably a bit more when the protective finish is added, again in 2 layers. And most likely it wil go a tad darker over time as it ages by the (sun) light. Plus, if you dislike the light color, you can darken it later, that's not possible when starting with the dark color.
Long story short: lighter looks nicer.

Please mind, this is not an application 'error', more of an anomaly of Windows itself.

-KodeZwerg (June 24, 2018, 05:01 AM)

Well, though I appreciate your effort, I'm on the same page as @mouser: I'd like to copy/move the file as safe as possible, so using Operating System native tools has my preference. Even if that means I have to use other tools for copying files from a damaged source. In that case there are wholly different problems to solve
Offering an option to use SHFileOperation calls will be my standard setting, might I need/use this tool.

Transferring attributes and timestamps when moving/copying files is still a priority (in my case: requirement, with exceptions as stated in a previous post), independent of the way the file is copied. The few milliseconds of setting them is almost neglectable compared to the time transferring the data, or updating the UI (appending a line into a text control?) for that matter.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Multiple screen capture but slip each in to each file!

« on: June 24, 2018, 05:33 AM »

I have added the commandline option "-capturemon #" to minicap, it will be in next upload.

-mouser (June 24, 2018, 01:52 AM)

To ease the use of this new feature I wrote a CMD script to capture multiple monitors to multiple files, as close in time as possible:
(only used PowerShell code highlighter for readability)
Change any settings to your likings, can be fired from a AHK hotkey script, optional parameter: nr. of monitors to capture sequentially, defaults to 2

Code: PowerShell [Select]

1. @echo off
2. :: MultiMonitorShot.cmd: Grab multiple monitors screenshots to separate files
3. :: Usage: MultiMonitorShot [monitors]
4. :: Monitors defaults to 2
5. :: Settings:
6. :: Number of monitors to capture, override with 1st argument to script
7. set SSCOUNT=2
8. if not "%1" == "" set SSCOUNT=%1
9. :: Screenshot storage path, including a trailing \ when not empty
10. set SSPATH=
11. :: Filename and monitor prefixes
12. set SSPREFIX=screenshot
13. set SSMONPREFIX=monitor
14. :: Extension, not including the period
15. set SSFILETYPE=png
16. :: Set date format using variables as in https://www.donationcoder.com/software/mouser/popular-apps/minicap#commandline-options
17. :: Initially set to YYYY-mm-DD-HH-MM-SS
18. set SSDATE=$dt:%%Y-%%m-%%d-%%H-%%M-%%S$
19. :: Aditional MiniCap options can be specified here
20. set MCOPTIONS=
21. :: Path to MiniCap.exe, include trailing \ if not empty
22. set MCPATH=
23. :: ----------------------------------
24. :: Leave the rest of the script as is
25. setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
26. set /a LMAX=%SSCOUNT%-1
27. :: Start multiple MiniCap instances in parallel to get screenshots as close in time as possible
28. for /l %%N in (0,1,%LMAX%) do (
29.         set /a O=%%N+1
30.         start %MCPATH%MiniCap.exe -save "%SSPATH%%SSPREFIX%-%SSDATE%-%SSMONPREFIX%-!O!.%SSFILETYPE%" -capturemon %%N -exit -stderr %MCOPTIONS%
31.         REM Append the part after the colon to the previous line for logging any errors: >>"%0.%%N.errorlog"
32. )

Edit1: Modified to number the screenshots according to the Windows monitor numbers (1..n) instead of from 0 to n-1
Edit2: Fixed setting to not have a double period before the extension
Edit3: Added setting for additional MiniCap options

I want a file to move a bunch of files from G:\Source on my windows 10 computer

-Craig381 (June 21, 2018, 02:17 PM)

A question that I should have formulated earlier:
Why haven't you configured your NAS to present all those harddrives as a single logical volume? Optionally adding (checksum) redundancy by configuring it to use RAID? Several RAID configurations can usually be selected in most NAS systems, even if only running from software instead of a hardware RAID controller. If you want to maximize storage availability, JBOD instead of RAID could have solved this too.

You might want to share your NAS make and model so help on this subject can be provided on request.

Should targetfiles have original fileattributes or do you wish for example remove/set Read-Only/Hidden attributes to a specific attribute?

-KodeZwerg (June 22, 2018, 06:34 PM)

If there are options to change attributes after copying, then those should apply, but otherwise, not preserving attributes (except the Archive bit) I'd probably report as a bug...

Must targetfiles have same Datestamp? (ATM target would get a fresh/new timestamp)

-KodeZwerg (June 22, 2018, 06:34 PM)

As this is supposed to be a copy/move tool, IMHO, it should be compatible with Windows, and keep the original timestamps like a normal copy would. Again, I'd report it as a bug if it didn't... despite the limited value of file timestamps.

Different but related topic:
Have you thought about the Alternate Data Streams (ADS) that can be stored on the NTFS filesystem? (Available since Windows 2000) They should be copied/moved when the destination filesystem is also NTFS, and probably/optionally give a warning or not delete the source when moving, when ADS's are found. A simple "dir /r" in a cmd prompt will show any ADS's for files that have them (try that in your Downloads folder..., NirSoft's AlternateStreamViewer can show you their content)
