General Software Discussion / Re: email client and a special feature

« Last post by Contro on May 19, 2015, 10:10 AM »

To my (limited) knowledge it is possible to start Thunderbird with a batch script where you can specify which profile it should open. These profiles must exist, you cannot create these on the fly.

skwire is also right, applications need command-line support before you can use them in a batch script. Never, ever expect this support and even if your application has command-line support, don't expect too much usable options/parameters to be included. Besides, the use of batch is dwindling and there is some push towards PowerShell for the persons that make use of the command-line. With good reason, PowerShell is much more powerful and allows you to access applications in ways batch scripts cannot even dream of.

There is nice freeware (Idera) around that enables you to make scripts yourself. It comes with auto-complete, descriptions of all commands and their parameters + working example scripts, a debugger and access to community where you can download scripts as well.

Whatever time you dedicate to PowerShell with this software, it will be time well spent.

At the time passing by sometimes I catalog my behaviour as a beggar. Just because for programmers like you or the most part of donarioncoder.com understand that most of my questions are solved with codes that solves a beginner.
It's true. i recognize.

I have a strong list of easy scripting environments. I have tried many of them . I understand the first day and foget the second....
Even I try adopting one of them and study deeper. But usually when i try i can't or even that tool is not the appropiate for the task.

So I came here and obtain the answer. That is the truth .

outlook.exe /select foldername
thunderbird.exe -mail mailbox://[email protected]/foldername
Alpine -f foldername

Aside from that:

First you should make more clear what you want to achieve, as it's totally unclear to me

Contro, I think you need to understand that application commandline support is not some sort of standard thing.  That is, a program has to have commandline options written into its code -- you don't just magically pass parameters and have things work.  In other words, what you want might not be available in some email clients (if any at all).

-skwire (May 05, 2015, 07:43 PM)

Understood. Skwire. I agree. Even sometimes the programs have not command line parameters at all. Only the good ones or that merely needs for automation.

Is it possible to print a word file from the command line ?

General Software Discussion / Batch PDF printing

« Last post by Contro on May 18, 2015, 04:36 AM »

I have seen several applications for batch printing.
But I need a special one for word files.
I have a word file of 67 pages to split in groups of pages.
so I need to print in an automated way to print :
From page 1 to page 5
from page 6 to page 13
from page 14 to page 21
from page 21 to 67

With the virtual printer to pdf in word 2010 i don't see this option. It only generates a single pdf , not several.

How can i print the word file to pdf while splitting ?

A script ?

Best Regards

Post New Requests Here / FolderUpdater

« Last post by Contro on May 17, 2015, 08:49 AM »

I need a folder updater.

This is one of the situations :

a) I have a lot of folders of this type :
Y:\GAB\Projects\xxx.yy\COMPO\VARINTS

b) When i vary a file in the VARINTS subfolder I would like to execute your script and update the rest of subfolders in the tree. Have all the rest of subfolders with the same files and even subfolders if exist in the VARINTS subfolder.

c) So i need a configurable script to determine the target tree (see a) ) and indicate the model folder for this purpose, by example y:\GAB\Projects\125.01\COMPO\VARINTS

Is it possible ?

Best Regards

Note : xxx.yy are variable characters

Loop, Read

FileAppend, % A_LoopReadLine, % SubStr("00" A_Index, -2) ".script.iim"

Despite its name, my tool Excel2Html can be used for this exercise, if the .csv file is converted (loaded) into a .xls or .xlsx file.
And a .html template is plain text, of course.

Relevant DC threads (original Coding snack request and support-thread) are available from the link.

-Ath (May 01, 2015, 01:41 AM)

I'll take a look. But I think better a dedicated tool.

more detail needed, eg what criteria would you use to determine whether to add or replace

-Target (April 30, 2015, 09:08 PM)

Two options then :
1. The first one where do you want to insert

2. The second option replace is more simple : I have to select or indicate the substring to be replaced in the original files.

The original files are always inside a folder.

General Software Discussion / Switch between several accounts to login to any website

« Last post by Contro on April 21, 2015, 06:29 PM »

I am interest in this web : http://www.vulka.es/home.php

I have or manage several accounts there.

I am thinking about something similar to fbQuickLogin that allows to login to up ten profiles. It's easy to switch from one account to another. But only serves for Facebook.

I think this type of tools must exist because of needs of community managers, by example. Or multisectorial announces in a professional directory website.

The multi-login accounts addon for Chrome seems oriented to the simultaneous login, but only gives new tabs where you have to manually login (i think....)

Do you know any good tool for this ?

Best Regards

I,s not the first time for me .
Happen in the past and seems a thing nothing to do with this script :

https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=40575.0

This time I have explored with Chrome into the russian webs.

sometimes the problem seems associated to java.

But there is not solution at the present moment.


Other explanations or commentaries from the russian pages :

- In my case the problem was caused by the incrorrect elimination of software Agnitum Firewall Pro. After uninstall and reinstall the prollem dissappeared.
- sfc /scannow don't solves.
- There is no way to solve except reinstall the operating system....

I will investigate. I am using this bat some years ago. And goes well in the portatil...
Never corrupted data with Ditto.
I have 16 GB ram in this pc. And only 4 GB in the portatil.


P.D. I think I must explain how i use this bat:
Ditto is a great clip manager, even in network. But sometimes in my system (3 pc's) fails the connection. And one way to solve this is close and open ditto again....

No problems of ram memory really...
