Just had a dry run and it does everything I need, it's a fraction of the size of the program that I have been using and is not cluttered up with countless 'Report' options which I never use anyway.

Hehehe, my daughters couldn't care less about reporting either.  All they want to know is, "Dad, how much money do I have in my account?"  My wife and I have found, using this "family bank" system, that our girls save their money much better than if they were to have actual cash burning a hole in their pockets.  As parents, we also don't give loans to our daughters.  If they want something, they have to save their dosh just like we do.

As ever many thanks.

You're welcome.  I'm glad you're finding the application useful.

Even though I don't have a Facebook account, this is good news.  However, the first comment (by jpaugh) after that article says it all:

"It's sad that they had to pass a bill for this kind of thing. If an employer asks for your Facebook password, whoever came up with the idea should be fired immediately. I'm tired of seeing all these stupid laws pop up that should well be covered by common sense."

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: ahk Find and Replace

« Last post by skwire on April 10, 2012, 09:04 AM »

Consider the following example:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. ^1:: ; Ctrl+1
2. {
3.     mySavedClip := Clipboard
4.     Clipboard := "" ; Flush the clipboard
5.     SendInput, ^c
6.     ClipWait, 2
7.     StringReplace, Clipboard, Clipboard, @1, % mySavedClip, All
8. }
9. Return

Because programmatically getting text from a browser is an exercise in frustration, you must first highlight the text you want searched through and then press the Ctrl+1 hotkey.  After doing that, any occurrences of @1 will be replaced with what was originally on your clipboard and then the new text is put back on the clipboard.

Working in Chrome find @1 (or something unique) within a text field, and replacing it with what is in your clip-board.

-DougleBug (April 10, 2012, 08:03 AM)

Right, I understand that.  What I need to know is how are you determining the text to be searched through?  AHK doesn't just "know" which text you want searched through.  Do you have this text selected/highlighted or something like that?

Hello, DougleBug, and welcome to the site.

ahk will find @1

-DougleBug (April 10, 2012, 06:42 AM)

Can you explain this in more detail?  Find "@1" where/how, exactly?

I was just about to start looking for something like this.
Just one small request, any chance of having the date in dd.mm.yyyy format?

-pilgrim-online (April 09, 2012, 09:54 AM)

Here you go.  Now, as the changelog states, not all formats, including your preferred one, are going to be properly sortable.  The default format of yyyy-MM-dd is properly sortable.

Website | Download
v1.0.1 - 2012-04-09
    + Ability to specify a custom date format as per the following abbreviations:
      http://www.autohotke...mands/FormatTime.htm
      To set a custom date format, edit the config.ini file and add a "DateFormat"
      key to the "Settings" section like this:
     
      [Settings]
      DateFormat=dd.MM.yyyy
     
      Keep in mind that this feature does not convert previously entered transactions.
      Furthermore, not all formats will be properly sortable.  The default date format
      is yyyy-MM-dd.

Living Room / Re: Xvid Video converter for Windows 7 x64 - any ideas?

« Last post by skwire on April 09, 2012, 01:50 PM »

I am using my computer to stream video to my TV and also my BD Cinema device.

I don't want another device to connect to my TV (I already have a DVD/HD recorder, Sony BD Home Cinema, a satellite box and an ethernet switch connected to the TV). Any more boxes would drive me insane!

-Carol Haynes (April 09, 2012, 01:13 PM)

Gotcha.  =]  FWIW, I can vouch for the Boxee Boxes.  We have four of them in this house and they play damn near any file I throw at them.

Excel does have the ability to "paste as image."

-kunkel321 (April 06, 2012, 12:34 PM)

Maybe the feature you point out is what kalos wants but it sounds to me like he wants something like "copy as image" instead of "paste as image," right?  If so, Excel 2007 does have this feature:



Works with whatever you have selected.  Yeah, really intuitive being on the paste menu...

Someone (I think it's Skwire in one of his apps) uses the Yen symbol for paths

-tomos (April 06, 2012, 05:42 AM)

Actually, that is a side effect of running Japanese as the default language on my English Windows boxes; most backslashes show up as Yen symbols.  I've gotten so used to it over the years that I hardly notice it anymore.

General Software Discussion / Re: restart router after few minutes of inactivity

« Last post by skwire on April 02, 2012, 01:49 PM »

For the moment, let's just assume that Kalos cannot improve the quality of his DSL connection.  Here's an AHK script that will check every minute for physical inactivity (not network inactivity).  If the physical inactivity exceeds 30 minutes, the aforementioned URL is run.  You can change the myIdleTime variable to what minutes value you would like:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. #Persistent
2.  
3. myIdleTime := "30" ; Value in minutes.
4.  
5. SetTimer, CheckIdle, 60000 ; Check every minute.
6.  
7. Return ; End of auto-execute section.
8.  
9.  
10. CheckIdle:
11. {
12.     If ( A_TimeIdlePhysical > ( myIdleTime * 1000 * 60 ) )
13.     {
14.         Run, http://router.ip/cgi-bin/restart.exe
15.     }
16. }
17. Return
