Post New Requests Here / Re: Merge .txt files but with the copy/paste method
« Last post by jgpaiva on September 05, 2009, 05:08 PM »
It's quite easy.. Just open a console in the folder where you have your files, and type the following command:
cat *.txt | sed "s/\s\+/,/g" > output.out
That'll read all the txts in the folder, pass them to sed, which then replaces consecutive blank spaces with a comma, and then outputs the result of this command to a file named output.out.

It still does not fix the problem with the different encodings, but it might be a first step in the right direction.


ps: DON'T name the output with the .txt extension, or it'll be read by the script and it'll enter an infinite loop :)

skwire: Yes, the problem is that the files are not all in the same format, from what I understand.

He'd require changing tabs to spaces, and setting all files on the same encoding (I'd suggest utf-8)

To be honest, I can't make a program to do it for you.
Maybe Drag and Drop Robot could help.
In linux, I'd use SED to replace the tabs with spaces. I don't know of any similar tool in windows, though :(

From what I understand, there's a problem with those files: they don't keep the same space between columns.
Two of them use 7 spaces, while the other one uses a tab.
That's probably why the formating gets messed up.

I recommend you first replace every tab with a space (any text editor with search+replace should do this pretty easily), and then try to merge them. That should get you better results.
As for the language.. Maybe each txt has its own encoding. If they do, good editors (I use vim, but if you're not used to it, don't bother with learning :P), should be able to save all of the files in utf-8, which would solve that problem too.

Circle Dock / Re: wheres the original setup
« Last post by jgpaiva on September 05, 2009, 05:23 AM »
Possibly, circle dock isn't compatible with windows 7..
Unfortunately I can't test that, maybe some other circle dock user will see this thread and reply.

Circle Dock / Re: Handy way to toggle Circle Dock
« Last post by jgpaiva on September 05, 2009, 04:37 AM »
dimout: I must congratulate you!

I told you to post on the coding snacks section of DC, where you can ask a programmer to do the script for you. You can find it here: https://www.donation...index.php?board=71.0

But you took matters on your own hands and fixed it yourself. Congrats!
If you'd like to see more ahk programs, you may check that section for some examples.

About your other problem with circle dock.. I'm not a user of circle dock, nor am I the developer.
Actually, I'm currently working on linux, so I can't be of much assistance (that's why I also didn't do the ahk script you asked right away).

But maybe some circle dock user may help you on the other topic ;)

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: separate user profiles
« Last post by jgpaiva on September 04, 2009, 04:26 PM »
Oh! Good point, I hadn't thought about that.

I think it's a good idea, and I'll try to add it as soon as I have some free time. To be honest, it may not be soon as I'm now on the final 2 months of my MsC :)

Circle Dock / Re: wheres the original setup

Circle Dock comes in a zip. First, you have do unzip it to a folder, and then run it.
When you run it, you get that "this application was not able to run correctly" problem?

I think this could be done with ahk. Maybe if you post this in the coding snacks section someone could help.

However, I think you're forgetting that sometimes you really want to keep the left button pressed (for example when dragging something), and this might severely interfere.

(just a heads-up: this thread will probably get loads of spam -video conversion is a common spam topic- so please take the recommendations with a grain of salt)

General Software Discussion / Re: Opera 10
« Last post by jgpaiva on September 03, 2009, 04:42 AM »
Personally, if they redesigned the addressbar to work as it does in the rest of the browsers, with the added bonus of webpage content indexing, it would be enough to label Opera as a true 10 version. The feature is so broken that it really irks me every time I use it.
This feature was broken from the beggining. I NEVER could find a page I previously visited by typing keywords from it. Actually, to be fair, I didn't even understand what information does the address bar save/search.

The Linux version looks and runs great.
See screenshot below. Opera running on the same machine as firefox, decides to render pages with fonts that look like crap.
(opera is on  the right)
The font used by opera is smaller, taller and with less space between letters. I can't read it, at the distance I am from the screen.
Oh, and I just noticed that 'Comment' isn't on the same horizontal line as the other links, for some reason.

To be fair, the only reason this nags me is because I really like opera. But I see no reason for them to make these mistakes.

Thank you for the pointer, lashiec!
I got it running, it works fairly well, but looks like ****. Still, it's much better than not working at all ;)

UrlSnooper / Re: url snooper is terminated!
« Last post by jgpaiva on September 02, 2009, 05:32 AM »
Well, then I can't help much, but I think urlsnooper depends on winpcap (I hope I got the name right). Maybe that's what the video player is terminating, and it might cause urlsnooper to crash.

I think only mouser can give a better insight on this.

Nope, the process name is the same as the executable name :D

When you try it, tell us if it worked! ;)

I really did like to hear about opera finally satisfying its users with the extensions and form auto-complete support. It only took them what, 5 years? Yay! \o/

@Paul Keith: no, it has no relation with flash. It's just opera using the wrong fonts on some sites, I have no idea why.
