I was testing everything I could think of in my VM. However, this is no reason it shouldn't have worked from your original directory (unless it's some Vista-specific crap). I even made the exact same folder path you were trying and it worked fine. Odd. At any rate, I'm glad you got it working. 
skwire, when I try it from the run box I had the command window pop up for about 3ms. and no file was output, so I ran it in a command window and that's the message I recieved.-briandr67 (September 28, 2009, 08:17 AM)
skwire, I would love to but the window only stays open for a few milliseconds and I can't find an output file anywhere. Brian-briandr67 (September 28, 2009, 07:16 AM)
Could you extend it to handle this case:

Would it be hard to modify this script so the user can specify the 'split target'?
For example, rather than split at blank lines, have it split at every instance of '=========='. I could then insert that string into the main text file wherever I want it to split, such as at the beginning of a section, a chapter, etc. Thanks!-pulphero (September 27, 2009, 05:12 PM)
Can any of you all think of anything better? <looks squarely at cranioscopical>Just a quick update: yes, this simple software has solved my problem. However, being able to toggle pointer speed settings would also be preferred, since in my specific case, mouse acceleration isn't quite enough to make the touchpad respond the way I'd like. Instead of simply toggling a single setting, the software would also have to retrieve, store, and apply two alternating speed settings.-doctorfrog (September 27, 2009, 04:52 PM)
I do realize that this would increase the scope of the software, so I choose to be happy with what I have right now, especially since I'm in a little financial difficulty at the moment and don't have a roll of quarters to drop in some kind programmer's bucket.-doctorfrog (September 27, 2009, 04:52 PM)
If you would like to improve it, I think it would be best improved by having mouse sensitivity and/or acceleration options, and store/load all of them according to which one you're using.-Kamel (September 27, 2009, 01:16 PM)
However, I am skeptical about correcting for typos-mouser (September 26, 2009, 09:51 AM)

I am primarily a one-handed typist, a righty, with the left hand only playing a minor role in my typing. I am probably the fastest 2-3 finger typist you have ever seen.-app103 (September 20, 2009, 09:01 AM)
One handed typing though seems much more mysterious.-Paul Keith (September 20, 2009, 11:56 AM)
