Owwww simplicity !!!!!

-Contro (January 30, 2014, 03:46 PM)

doesnt seem to be working out too simple for you though (?)
(I know, I know, it can be difficult too with today's software...)

I know tomos.

I am a software lover with a complicated mind and bad memory looking for the perfect software. Why not in the past ?. I remember some years ago i was younger and that's a good point.
 

At the present moment i am going mad with javascript, DOM, COM, AHK......
Ah my beloved dBASE.

I fail to understand this quest for old software.
Please try to explain why you would want to start using this very old, and unsupported, software. There are so many, much better and modern, alternatives available.

Owww Ath. Why change an old apple for a green one ?

I am a vetust software lover.
Can you understand this ?

I love the old point in a black screen. Owwww simplicity !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to delete all the lines that begins with "dermatitis" without quotes.
But the effect is that all the lines are deleted.....

-Contro (January 27, 2014, 05:54 PM)

Follow lanux128's steps but check the "Regular Expressions" box and use this as a search string: ^dermatitis
 (see attachment in previous post)

-skwire (January 27, 2014, 06:48 PM)

Understood. So seems we have a powerful "hidden" script maker with pspad.
I am charmed with the scripts to deleted x characters from any line selected (or repeating the script in many lines....)

So the conclusion is :

The above example is useful to delete all the lines that contains a predefined String

I am here again.
I have made exhaustive proofs because I don't was very convinced of the problem to solve.
But really PSPAD, under the conditions expressed by Lanux128 delete the entire line.
Consider this example :
dermatitis es la enfermedad
dermatitis es una enfermedad
la dermatitis es una enfermedad
la enfermedad conocida como dermatitis
una enfermedad conocida como dermatitis produce sufrimiento por la picazón

I want to delete all the lines that begins with "dermatitis" without quotes.
But the effect is that all the lines are deleted.....

But the point or interesting effect of this experiment is the PSpad interpretation of delete the entire line because we can't initially supposed that pspad will delete the entire line is simple encounter the string inside that line in any position.

I remember my wonderful dBASE III and the commands trim() ,left trim() , right trim() , substring() and so on. (Please I don't remember exactly, but I think was something similar). With those functions i can manipulate strings.

Yes. But seems don't delete the entire line that contains the string, or mantain if is the case.
 

-Contro (January 27, 2014, 06:52 AM)

can you post a screenshot of these lines? maybe that could give a clue as to why they are not being deleted.

-lanux128 (January 27, 2014, 06:59 AM)

forgive me lanux128. I haven't tried. It just a thought the line will not be removed. The line contains the string, but you said that only the string will be removed in the copied file.

throwing my hat into DoCo's favourite past-time.

@Contro: since you mentioned PSPad, there is a way to do what you wanted (or at least what i *think* you wanted) within PSPad.

1. Open the text file in PSPad.
2. Press Control + F to open the 'Find' dialog.
3. Type the "predefined" string.
4. Click "Copy non-matching" (see attached image).
5. Click the "Copy" button.
6. PSPad will open a *new* text file without the "predefined" string that you didn't want.
7. Now you just have to save it.

Yes. But seems don't delete the entire line that contains the string, or mantain if is the case.

done .
The code with pspad is something like this

ecDeleteChar
ecDeleteChar
ecDeleteChar
ecDeleteChar
ecDeleteChar
ecDeleteChar
ecDeleteChar
ecDeleteChar
ecDeleteChar
ecDeleteChar
ecDeleteChar
ecDeleteChar
ecDeleteChar
ecDown

Beginning from the line we want to remove the first 13 characters.
"As usual" is enough to repeat the macro to remove the second line
and so on.

I have found something may help. And perhaps a macro with pspad is enough

:

Home
Delete Delete Delete
Down
Home
Delete Delete Delete
Down
Home
Delete Delete Delete


or something similar may serve. But I don't remember how. But i create a macro in pspad yesterday. Damn memory !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Contro, you really ought to try Text Monkey Pro.  It's not free ($30) but it can do all sorts of things to text files including the thing you mention in this post and many that you've mentioned in the past.

http://www.boxersoftware.com/tmfeat.htm

In the "Line Operations" section, there is a "Delete lines that contain user-specified text" option that should cover your need expressed in this thread.

-skwire (January 26, 2014, 12:46 PM)

  Running to try

-Contro (January 26, 2014, 01:21 PM)

I am trying, but is not exactly to extract the beginning lines with <String>, instead lines containing a <string> is the target with Text Monkey (There is a lite version too)
but finally i obtain the lines, but now I have to elliminate every first characters of any residual line . How can i do that now ?
the first characters of every line are not the same.
Are the 12 first characters of any line.

I found it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! incredible

Incredible !!!!!!!

its very simple.
Un pack the files in a folder
the launch.ini file is for configuration. You can configure so may rows and columns you need. I recommend not so many because is you have a tiny screen may have problems to locate the options.
You can edit the paths to be launched even from the executable file .ahk extension.
Yo you will need to have installed the wonderful autohotkey_L or similar. Exist a similar version for Autoit i have too. but at the past moment i selected the ahk option.

Don't worry. That's the idea.
I remember I have somewhere special and simple menus made with AHK or similar. Definible. That is the number or rows and files.
I have that menues created, but finally there are so many launchers tools that I finish with my beloved Goldmine.
but i will put the link.
I must have somewhere.
