Post New Requests Here / Re: Help to install a java script or similar CRGREP

« Last post by Contro on March 04, 2017, 05:22 AM »

Most difficult part for you might be to install Java, and set up the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
What OS are you currently on? Windows 7 or Windows 10 (any other Windows I can't make screenshots on, as I've always refused to use Win8/8.1)

Oh, btw, it works like a charm, just tested it with a couple of Office 2013 documents, and found any word I threw at it
sample command-line:

[Select]

C:\Users\Ath\Documents>..\Downloads\Contro\crgrep-1.0.5\bin\crgrep -i word *.docx

The -i is for case-insensitive search

-Ath (March 03, 2017, 02:30 PM)

I have windows 8.1

I take screenshots with Screenshot Captor

Thanks a lot Ath.
I have Java already install. I need to digitally sign in the web with digital certificates.
But perhaps I need a java version for developing.

If don't replace is not useful to my purpose.

Sorry I was trying to quote wraith808, but fails.

If a line is composed of several phrases delete until the beginning of the next phrase. Each phrase must finish in a period. So is determine the first character after the period (except the space...).

But I have this resolve up the lines. I was revising because I don't like forget the thread.

I have found several I can try.
Replace Genius
Word Fisher . And old traduction program with a trial free forever. At least I find a name and password for that. I have to try if true.
VBA Find and replace. Is an utility to find and replace in word documents.
CR GREP This java program promises to be powerful, but I need help to install
Funduc Word Search and replace freware.
Codeplex Find and Replace.

In the paid scene there are also trials . The most powerful seems to be able to read strings in pdf, word, etc.

But the point is that they are able to read in certain parts of a word document : header, footer, in comments, etc.

I am trying Replace Genius with a standard word document of 60 pages, with other documents inserted, goldmine fields, excel tables incrustated, jpg inserted and vinculated documents .

Until the moment Replace Genius goes well to my purpose.

PowerGREP and WordPipe seems to be very powerful.

CRGrep promises to be equal power of powergrep and wordpipe and seems freeware.

So I will put a consultation in the snack forum asking for help to install.
Seems need java and comes with a bat file.
Also have instruccions I don't understand.

Best Regards

If you apply the description of my TED Notepad procedure, copy/pasting the 'Output mask' values from here, you should be fine, I think I see at least 3 typos in your first screenshot, and then it only gets worse from there...

Where have I to put the name of my txt file in the script ?

-Contro (February 19, 2017, 02:18 PM)

The first line says

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. FileRead, text, %A_ScriptFullPath%

replace it with

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. FileRead, text, pathtoyour\file.txt

Assuming you want to save it replace MsgBox %text% with

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. FileDelete, pathtoyour\sortedfile.txt
2. FileAppend, %text%, pathtoyour\sortedfile.txt

Though it worked fine for me, using TED Notepad, I wanted to resolve this one using Notepad++ too.
It won't be possible to use the, quite limited, macro feature of Npp, so I used a scripting plugin: Notepad++ Python Script

[One time only]
- Install the Notepad++ Python Script plugin, using the MSI installer, not using the plugin manager. It can be downloaded from here. Close Notepad++ before the installer is run.
- Open Notepad++
- Check if Python Script is working correctly by opening the console: Plugins/Python Script/Show Console, en verifying that it shows the Python version, something like this:
[Select]

Python 2.7.6-notepad++ r2 (default, Apr 21 2014, 19:26:54) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)]
Initialisation took 125ms
Ready.

- Choose Plugins/Python Script/New Script, type a filename: sort-by-length.py, and press Save. The file is created and opened in Notepad++
- Paste this script into sort-by-length.py:
Code: Python [Select]

    # Ath: Found this in the notepad-plus forum on sourceforge.net, modified as suggested in the comments there
    editor.beginUndoAction()
    if editor.getSelText(): # grab the lines
        linee = editor.getSelText().splitlines()
    else:
        linee = editor.getText().splitlines()
    sorted_lines=sorted(linee,key=lambda x:len(x)) # add parameter reverse=True, to sort descending by length
    editor.clearAll() # wipe lines in editor
    for line in sorted_lines:
            print(line) # put all lines back in the editor
    editor.endUndoAction()

- Save the file
- The script should now be available in the menu Plugins/Python Script/Scripts/ (don't select it, it will execute immediately!)

[Process a file]
- Open the file to sort, and make sure it is the selected file
- Select Plugins/Python Script/Scripts/sort-by-length
- The file will be emptied and filled with all lines again, shortest first (or longest first if reversed=True was set). It may take some time, as Python (Script) doesn't seem very fast in this configuration
- If an error occurs during processing, it will be shown in the Python Script console (see above how to open that)
- Save the file
Done

I will try too.

The other method with notepad ted give me no results.

The zeros stay in the final result ?

Simple don't get results .

-Contro (February 19, 2017, 05:27 AM)

Huh? You do select all text (Ctrl-A) before running any of the tools? It makes working with the preview of "Tools/Lines/Columns, Numbers" possible, so you should see a preview while entering the Output mask.

You can attach a sample file here, or PM me for my e-mail, and I'll verify if the file is causing the trouble. Current TED Notepad seems to have issues with UTF-8 files without a BOM, and you might have such a file, but you should be able to use File/Re-open as UTF-8 and it could resolve your issue.

-Ath (February 19, 2017, 06:43 AM)

I am going to try.
I was making by hand , not copy / paste.
I will put screenshots .

Give TED Notepad a try:

http://jsimlo.sk/notepad/

-MrZebulon (February 18, 2017, 12:21 PM)

Great tip!

Best plain text editor ever ;-)

-MrZebulon (February 18, 2017, 12:21 PM)

We'll see about that...

Now let's try this TED Notepad...

- Open the file
- Select All (Ctrl-A)
- Select Tools/Lines/Columns, Numbers... (Alt-T,L,N or Alt-Ctrl-Y)
- Change Output mask to (Line length right aligned with zeros, separator |, original line)

[Select]

%+l0|%0

- Press Cut (Alt-C), length and a separator are inserted in each line
- Select All (Ctrl-A)
- Sort Ascending (Tools/Sort/Ascending, Alt-T,S,A or Alt-Ctrl-A)
- Select All (Ctrl-A)
- Select Tools/Lines/Columns, Numbers... (Alt-T,L,N or Alt-Ctrl-Y)
- Change Output mask to

[Select]

%1

- Change settings on %1 tab
  - Select 'Entire line'
  - Check: 'Use only characters from
  - set: 'position' to 5
  - set: 'to' to 999 (assuming no line is longer than 999 characters, or use 9999)
(Have Preview checked, then the preview should show the result without length and separator, if a column is missing change 5 to 4 or 3)
- Press Cut (Alt-C)
- Save result (Ctrl-S or Ctrl-B, Save as...)
- Job well done

NB: The use of a separator is entirely optional, ofcourse

I kinda like this TED Notepad, looks like something safe enough for @Contro to handle

BTW . I like homeopathy as energetic medicine.
I don't understand very well why is a pseudo science.
Perhaps by economic interests of the official medicine ?

What do you think ?

Ejem. I am trying to find an homeopathic remedy for my lack of memory. Since is an atoxic medicine is no risk.

Recently , in my first mountain excursion to lose weight , I have an accident and received a lot of medicines to cure. Anti inflammatory, analgesics, ..... . But I decided use ice and manage the ache all over.

So I got an influeza by the cold  and rest a lot more of hours because of the pain. But discover that I lose more kilograms according to the number of hours i rest.

So my real medicine is rest and dream.
