I didn't see a hotkey listed on the menu item during the screencast -- is there a hidden one or an option to configure one?

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR crashes after installing AltTab plugin

« Last post by ewemoa on May 30, 2010, 06:02 PM »

IIUC, most plugins live in their own folder under <somewhere>\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins and disabling can be done by moving the specific plugin's folder to some other location (while FARR is not running).

In the current case it looks like the folder to move is:

  C:\Program Files (x86)\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\FARRAltTab

FWIW, it's a procedure I have gone through multiple times with some success, but under Windows XP.

Find And Run Robot / Re: How can I use appshowappendmemo

« Last post by ewemoa on May 18, 2010, 07:01 AM »

I believe what mouser meant by:

don't believe everything you read in a help file, there is no such command "appshowappendmemo"
there is however "appcapappendmemo"

-mouser (May 18, 2010, 05:41 AM)

is that the help file is buggy

Finished Programs / Re: help convert short text manipulations code from perl to AHK

« Last post by ewemoa on May 16, 2010, 05:34 AM »

Don't know how much help I might be, but I've taken a brief look at format.pl.

One thing I wondered about was its specification of utf8 in the input and output from/to files:

Code: Perl [Select]

1. open TXT, "<:utf8", "page_txt.txt";
2. open BOX, "<:utf8", "page_box.txt";
3. ...
4. binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8");

I'm not experienced with AHK in that realm, but have the sense that that might present a tricky (or at least not-so-trivial) situation.

My impression so far with the rest of the script is that it doesn't look too bad.  May be if we can get close enough, help might arrive for any remaining difficulties

Do you have any sample input files and corresponding expected output that I might test with?

Find And Run Robot / Re: Req: Ctrl+backspace to delete from cursor position

« Last post by ewemoa on May 15, 2010, 11:29 PM »

lanux128, I am not finding the hack to work in the following situation.



Without the hack running, Control+LeftArrow at the end of the path field will move the cursor to the beginning of the field.

Before:
  C:\WINDOWS\System32|

After:
  |C:\WINDOWS\System32

where | shows the cursor position.

Contrast this with Windows Explorer's address field where the result is that the cursor moves to the right of the last backslash.

Before:
  C:\WINDOWS\System32|

After:
  C:\WINDOWS\|System32

Without the hack running, do you happen to know some general keystrokes that would move the cursor to the right of the last backslash in the Extraction Wizard dialog?  More generally, moving the cursor to the first backslash to the left of the current cursor position

I'd rather not do things that involve copying the text, analyzing the content, and sending arrow keys to get this to work...

This is an easy way to have FF3 bookmarks show up in FARR and Everything.

-Nod5 (May 15, 2010, 12:00 PM)

So does that mean FARR's non-contiguous matching can be applied to find a candidate folder which might contain a bookmark for which I'm having trouble remembering any matching strings for?

An example for latest topic at DC forums:

[Select]

webgrab donationcoder - latest topic | pcommand webgrab https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?action=rtopicsdense;sort=creation `Creation Date</td>[^<]+</tr></tr><tr><td colspan="5"><hr/></td></tr>[^<]+<tr>[^<]+<td align="right" valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap" class="smalltext">\[([^\]]+)\]</td>[^<]+<td valign="top" class="orangemed"><a href="([^"]+)">([^<]+)</a></td>` `[%1] <a href="%2">%3</a>` html

This is just for illustration purposes, FarrWebMetaSearch might be more appropriate for this type of thing (especially if you want to see more than one topic).

Find And Run Robot / Re: [Feature request/Plugin idea] add search in dictionary.com

« Last post by ewemoa on May 15, 2010, 04:32 PM »

Below is another example use:

[Select]

webgrab donationcoder | pcommand webgrab https://www.donationcoder.com `<!-- DCAP- LEFTSIDEBAR TOP SUPERSHORT -->[^<]+<p class="sph">([^<]+)</p>[^<]+<p class="sp"><img src="[^"]+" alt=""/>([^<]+)</p>[^<]+<p class="sp"><a href\s*=\s*"([^"]+)">([^<]+)</a></p>` `%1 %2 <a href="https://www.donationcoder.com%3">%4</a>` html

Note that when constructing regular expressions, one may have less problems if working off of the original HTML source from the server and not the "processed" version.  Specifically, under Firefox, "View Selection Source" will provide "DOM Source of Selection", while "View Page Source" will give something that is closer to (if not) the original HTML source.  There were at least two differences that showed up while working on the example above.

i found a program (mIRC) where this scripts doesn't work..

-lanux128 (May 13, 2010, 09:09 AM)

Well it is not surprising to me  The current code is deliberately made to be a bit focused on where it's supposed to work.

FWIW, the code from which this descends only checked controls with class "Edit".  FARR doesn't use that for its main edit box IIUC, so I changed what it checks for.  I also modified it to check the window class as the original request was for FARR and I didn't want this to affect too many other things.

I agree that a more general tool would be interesting, but haven't given it much consideration yet.

Don't know if you have AutoHotkey_L to test, but may be this will work...not as a replacement tool, but as something temporary to run separately as a test

Code: AutoIt [Select]

1. #If ActiveControlIsOfClassAndWindowIsOfClass("Edit", "mIRC")
2. {
3.   ^BS::Send ^+{Left}{Del}
4.   ^Del::Send ^+{Right}{Del}
5. }
6. #If
7.  
8. ActiveControlIsOfClassAndWindowIsOfClass(CClass, WClass)
9. {
10.   ControlGetFocus, FocusedControl, A
11.   ControlGet, FocusedControlHwnd, Hwnd, , % FocusedControl, A
12.   WinGetClass, FocusedControlClass, % "ahk_id " . FocusedControlHwnd
13.   WinGet, Hwnd, ID, A
14.   WinGetClass, FocusedWindowClass, % "ahk_id " . Hwnd
15.   Return (FocusedControlClass = CClass) and (FocusedWindowClass = WClass)
16. }

Find And Run Robot / Re: [Feature request/Plugin idea] add search in dictionary.com

« Last post by ewemoa on May 13, 2010, 09:11 AM »

is there a way to display only part of page i mean something like this

i add sutom alias i.e. http://www.ling.pl/indexalt.php?word=$$1
and i know that important part of html that i want to see in application window is between <div id='main'></div>
is there a way to put only this part in my Find and Run Robot window?

i understand tha i can sometimes need to load the whole page to display site correctly
but is there a way to hide everything besides interesting part "<div id='main'></div>"

-Werizon (May 12, 2010, 05:41 PM)

Depending on what it is you want to do, I think you may be disappointed in Webgrab.  The plugin lets you extract information from HTML and reformat, but it's not going to get you images, style sheets, etc.

But, FWIW, below is the latest:

  http://ewemoa.dcmemb....com/tmp/Webgrab.zip

SHA1: 6e83bda1a192dfee82b1a1e94458de89ab071c80

Usage has changed since earlier.  A snippet from the included README.txt:

  In the 'Result(s) - programs, ...' text area of the Edit Alias Dialog, one might specify:

    pcommand webgrab http://www.urbandict...com/define.php?term=$$u1 `<table id='entries'>([\s\S]*)<div id='paginator'>` `%1` html

  The URL (what to get) is:

    http://www.urbandict...com/define.php?term=$$u1

the regular expression (what to pay attention to) is:

    <table id='entries'>([\s\S]*)<div id='paginator'>

and the template string (how to present) is:

    %1

  N.B. The latter two are surrounded by backticks ` to help the plugin understand what information it is being given.

  This example alias ends with:

    html

which tells Webgrab to display the results as HTML.

  This example makes use of user input, so it is important to specify an appropriate value for "Regular Expression Pattern".  For example, if "Alias Trigger Text" has the value:

    testwg

  One might specify a value of:

    ^testwg (.*)

  for "Regular Expression Pattern".

  Reminder: a backtick character ` is used for quoting the regular expression and the formatting template.

The README.txt contains more detail and examples.

Please note that the backtick character ` (the backwards single quote) is used for surrounding the regular expression and the template string.

Find And Run Robot / Re: [Feature request/Plugin idea] add search in dictionary.com

« Last post by ewemoa on May 12, 2010, 08:44 PM »

The version of Webgrab mentioned in the aforementioned topic is dated.  Below is a link to one that seems to work for some cases:

  http://ewemoa.dcmemb....com/tmp/Webgrab.zip

Usage:

  webgrab <url> {<regular-expression>} "<template-string>"

Example:
         
  webgrab http://www.weather.c.../weather/local/08080 {<div class="ccTemp">(\d+)} "Temperature in your town is %1 degrees"

If there is interest, perhaps this version can be modified appropriately or a separate implementation can be attempted.
