Find And Run Robot / Re: Tip: Htmlviewurl works for local files too! :)

« Last post by Armando on July 04, 2008, 02:19 PM »

cedardoc,
you probably don't realize but one of the first things we did to demo the new html capabilities of FARR was integrate a tiddlywiki and a gtdwiki into FARR and it comes included with the latest FARR distribution

See:
https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=13673.0

So you shouldnt have to do anything but bring up farr and type:
tiwi
Or type:
gwp

Developer's Corner / Re: help ! With RegEx

« Last post by Armando on July 04, 2008, 11:12 AM »

I actually modified jgpaiva'ssolution to the slightly different

(.*)(__)(?:(.*?)(:?\.)(.*?))(__)(.*)
$1$2$3 $5$6$7

FlashRenamer didn't want to accept the other one with (.*__) instead. Go figure.

Thanks guys -- and thanks for the links.

There is something like assertions in regular expressions, where you can say "give me this if not followed by that" or "give me this if it comes after that". however, these don't seem to be available on rubular.com. IIRC, assertions look like

[Select]

(?<...)

or

[Select]

(?>...)

.

-housetier (July 04, 2008, 03:45 AM)

Thanks I'll have to look into these assertions!

Then I sometimes get the feeling there are different flavors of regular expressions, while I am under the impression there would be a standard: PCRE. This feeling is amplified when I start redet and see all the different "programs" it can use for matching.

However, with my lack of patience I couldn't find a regular expression that matches all "." in between "__". Maybe someone else will

-housetier (July 04, 2008, 03:45 AM)

I understand... 

[Select]

(.*__)(?:(.*?)(:?\.)(.*?))(__.*)

I think the above works (at least, i got to work with rereplace.com), but you'll have to do it several times because it only removes one dot at a time.

(replacement: "$1$2 $4$5" or "$1$2 $3$4")

-jgpaiva (July 04, 2008, 03:56 AM)

Yes, thanks alot, it works. As you said, I'll have to do it several times. Which I'll do.
(Only as a learning experience, I was wondering if it was possible to get all these "." inside "__". But...)

Developer's Corner / help ! With RegEx

« Last post by Armando on July 04, 2008, 12:06 AM »

OK. I'm ignorant in that matter.

I have a bunch of file names looking like that :

xLC-(2003).Someones,Name.__ The Greatest. Book.In.the World 12345__+tgsPma tgsPorgn+.doc


I'm trying to get rid of the "." inside inside the pairs of "__".

How can I define that area comprised between both "__" (__that area__) so that I don't remove any "." situated outside of these?




PS : With my renamer (Flash Renamer), I tried all kinds of simplistic combinations like :

Find:
(.__)(\w*+\s*)(\.*)(__\+)
And replace with
$1$2$4

.. to match all "." inside the "__"

Obviously, it won't work... I know.

General Software Discussion / Re: A new task manager on the block...

« Last post by Armando on June 29, 2008, 06:58 PM »

Looks a lot like Achieve Planner, which is what I've been using.  Though just like with Achieve, I've never understood the 'life planning' aspect of it...

-wraith808 (June 29, 2008, 07:26 AM)

So, do you like it?

I was very interested in its development a while back (https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=9417.0), but finally abandoned the idea because I found certain aspects of it to rigid (grids were not very customizable, and it was not possible for items -- tasks, events, goals... -- to have multiple parents, etc.) and I could not sync it with my palm (related to that : seemless Outlook syncing was kind of hard to achieve perfectly well on a day to day basis, especially for recurring appointments, colors, and others)... and, oh... I found it a bit sluggish. These were some of the main points. But in general I thought it was a pretty good application.

I posted at their forum under the zarmando name :
http://www.effexis2....p;highlight=zarmando
http://www.effexis2....howthread.php?t=1405


So... yes, Watership Planner seems to fit exactly that category of applications. I wonder if it syncs with mobile devices, but probably not since I couldn't find anything about it on the web site.

« Last post by Armando on June 28, 2008, 10:10 PM »

What I do is : put all these programs without an installer in the usual folder (program files), add a shortcut to each of them inside the "Favorites" directory or the  "...\Start Menu\Programs\" one, and "tag" these programs' folders with a special suffix so that I can differentiate them from those other programs installed with an installer. A bit more complex...  But it works to.

« Last post by Armando on June 28, 2008, 09:54 PM »

ok. back after a long day out... 
Actually, after some more testing : ctrl+alt +enter does work when workig with an alias, but not with normal searches. I generally use ctrl+alt+enter with aliases, so I didn't notice it didn't work in other circumstances.

« Last post by Armando on June 28, 2008, 12:00 PM »

Ah, thanks Lanux! I saw the thread but didn't remember that FarrAltTab was also involved... That's too bad. I tend to use it a lot. I guess I'll have to chose between one of both options, in the mean time.

Just in case, here's the related post from the other thread :

pursuant to my thread here, i've found out that another plugin is causing the same problem - FarrAltTab. enabling this plugin also breaks the following:

1. 'Ctrl+Alt+Enter' hotkey to open all search results.
2. '/stayopen' keyword assigned to aliases.
3. 'Launch and stay open' - either via context-menu or hotkey.

-lanux128 (June 23, 2008, 07:44 PM)

BTW, the 'Ctrl+Alt+Enter' hotkey to open all search results still worked for me, even with the FarrAltTab plugin enabled... weird.

maybe off-topic... but I couldn't agree more. I stay faaaarrrrr from optical media (DVDs, mostly) when it comes to backup. I'll archive stuff, certainly, but will then make sure that I have 2-3 copies, just in case. DVDs are for movies and Vista! CDs are for music and... Windows XP!

« Last post by Armando on June 27, 2008, 12:03 AM »

this is not exactly related but I didn't want to start a threat just for that... I'd like to point out that launching URLs can be quite slow when the browser is not Internet explorer. even if set as default, URLs are launched slowly in Firefox.  I've found that inserting the Firefox path in the "override default Internet browser..." text box in the option window,"external tools"section, accelerates the launching a bit.

« Last post by Armando on June 26, 2008, 11:56 PM »

btw, great to have a new options dialog
two suggestions however :
1) could you make it a real separate window (with taskbar button, etc.) so that you don't loose settings when FARR looses focus
2) add an apply button, so that one can test new aliases or settings without going back and forth... opening and closing options

-nitrix-ud (June 25, 2008, 04:56 AM)

I know this is a bit off-topic but... I agree with nitrix-ud... it would be nice to have a real separate window for the options.

Hi mouser,
It might be too early to tell for sure since I've just installed the update. But it seems to be much much better : I only get a 0.7s pause after the 6th launch/close. So that's pretty good. Also, the problem with "recently launched files not appearing at the top of the list" seems to be gone too.
