I took a look at the forum. I see what you mean. You've been busy!I felt like the only beta tester. Almost nobody else is posting in the forum.-IainB (July 07, 2012, 04:32 PM)
I have posted a request to have them provide an RSS feed for that forum. Would make life much simpler.I hardly ever use RSS! I have the NoteFrog forum set as a hotsite in WebSite-Watcher, so I see which sections have new postings.-IainB (July 07, 2012, 04:32 PM)

Version 7.0
* Under Windows 32-bit with the /3GB option and Windows x64, NoteTab can now allocate resources past the 2GB address limit when needed (up to 4 GB).
* NoteTab Pro: Added syntax highlighting for CSS files and improved HTML syntax highlighting with documents that contain PHP, ASP, and Javascript code.
* Improved the Strip HTML Tags feature with better handling of documents that contain PHP, ASP, and Javascript code.
* Added real-time word count feature, with a choice between two counting methods. The feature is controlled through the View | Word Count submenu and the word count is displayed in the status bar next to the Ins/Ovr info panel. Word-count is based either on selected text or the whole document (or topic with Outlines). This feature is not available in NoteTab Light (unless you enable trial mode).
The MS Word method returns a count that should be a close match to the word-count result in Microsoft Word. The NoteTab method is more sophisticated and counts words using a more extensive set of word delimiters. MS Word mostly counts words delimited by space characters. In the following examples, MS Word counts one word per line whereas NoteTab counts three words in each:
* [email protected]
* http://fookes.com/
* help-me-please
* 2x10x250
* When the real-time word-count feature is enabled, you can click on the corresponding panel in the status bar to see more detailed text statistics. This information is also displayed after you select a certain amount of text. You will see the word count based on the NoteTab method, the average number of characters per word, the number of sentences, and the average number of words per sentence. This information is particularly valuable to copywriters, bloggers and journalists.
* In NoteTab Pro and Std, the Tools | Text Statistics feature is now based on the new NoteTab word-count method.
* When the Text Statistics feature is used on an HTML file, NoteTab only counts visible page text (tags, CSS, scripts and commented blocks are ignored). Hold down the Shift key when selecting this menu command if you want to also count words in HTML tags and comments.
* Simply select one character in the current document to see its decimal and hexadecimal value in the status bar.
* New keyboard shortcuts to easily insert typographic characters:
* Ctrl+. inserts the ellipsis character …
* Ctrl+- inserts the n-dash character –
* Ctrl+, inserts “smart quotes” around selected text or a proper apostrophe ’
* You can now remove history items from drop-down lists in the Find and Replace dialog boxes. To remove an undesired item from the history list, first select it, close the drop-down list and then press the Shift + Delete keys. Or right-click in the field to open the popup menu and choose Delete from List; you can also delete the whole history by choosing Clear History.
* The Find and Replace dialog boxes now show search results in a balloon (unless you are using Blind-User mode) instead of a message box. This speeds up you work as you no longer need to click on the message box OK button to close it.
* Added support for wildcard searching in find/replace tools. This feature is not available in NoteTab Light (unless you enable trial mode).
The following tokens are provided:
* = matches 0 or more word characters. Example: “jo*” matches “JO”, “John”, “Jody”, “joint”, “join_leave”.
# = matches 0 or more word characters, including HTML entity characters. Example: “na#” matches “naïve”, “naïve”, and “naïve”.
** = matches 0 or more characters and can span across words within a line. Example: “click**link” matches “click link”, “click on link”, “clicking on link”, “Click on this link”, but not “click on links”.
? = matches exactly one word character. Example: “jo?” matches “Job” and “jot”, but not “JO”, “John”, “Jody”, and “joint”.
~ = matches 0 or one word characters. Example: “jo~” matches “JO”, “Job”, and “jot”, but not “John”, “Jody”, and “joint”.
& = matches exactly one word character or one HTML entity. Example: “caf&” matches “café”, “café”, and “café”.
Word characters include alphanumeric characters, all extended ANSI characters, as well as “_”.
To search with wildcard tokens, select the Wildcards option in the Search drop-down list. Choose Standard for literal searching and Regular Exp. for searching with regular expressions.
* Find and Replace dialog boxes: you can use keyboard shortcuts to change option in the Search drop-down lists. Simply press CTRL+ALT+{first letter of option name}. Example: CTRL+ALT+A sets the All option and CTRL+ALT+W sets the Wildcards option.
* Added new Bootstrap library, Clipbar and templates. Bootstrap, from Twitter, is a fantastic collection of CSS and HTML for rapidly developing professional-looking web sites. For more information, visit the official Bootstrap website through this link: http://www.notetab.com/redir/Bootstrap
* Added new HTML-CSS and HTML-AutoReplace libraries and Clipbar, which include support for HTML5 and CSS3. They replace the following outdated files (note that these are not uninstalled by NoteTab):
HTML.clb
HTML-ar.clb
CSS1.clb
HTML-1.ctb
HTML-2.ctb
CSS1.ctb
* Added two new web page templates (Web page.tpl and Web page HTML5.tpl) to replace the following outdated files (note that these are not uninstalled by NoteTab):
HTML.tpl
CSS1.tpl
* Updated the regular expressions engine to the latest release, which is based on PCRE 8.31.
* A confirmation dialog box is now displayed when the Close All menu command is used.
* You can now use CTRL+ALT+V to paste Clipboard data in HTML format (if available).
* The Search Disk.fvr Favorites file created after a Search Disk operation now removes the maximum limit of 65 files.
* Added new program icon and splash screen. Note that you can still revert back to the old icon through the Options dialog box.
* Program file is now code signed to reduce the risk of anti-virus false positives.
* Fixed printing issue whereby last page or pages failed to print.
* Fixed issue with Save Directory setting being ignored under the Use Default Directories option.
* Fixed issue with Disk Files option in Quick List when Show Full Names option is turned off.
* Fixed issue when pasting text with non-Windows line breaks into NoteTab Pro.
* Partially fixed issue with disappearing Clip wizard labels under Windows 7 (though the problem does reappear if you hit the Alt key).
* Fixed issue when comparing negative integer values in Clips.
* Fixed issue in ^$GetDate(Date Mask;+/-days)$ function when using the +/-days parameter.
* Fixed issue in ^$GetDateToInt[(Date;DateFilter)]$ function that failed when date filter did not exactly match date pattern. Example: ^$GetDateToInt(2012-3-27;yyyy-m-d)$
* Fixed issue with ^$GetDocumentPath$ and the %NtbDocuments% token failing to use the user-defined default directories.
* Fixed errors in the CRC32 algorithm used in the ^$GetCrcFile("Filename")$ and ^$GetCrcText("Text")$ Clip functions.
* Fixed errors in the Clip Assistant.
* Fixed issue in the Modify | Block | Cut feature that failed to work if only the last character column was selected.
* Many other minor improvements and issues fixed.
* Updated documentation.
Clip-code Additions
* NoteTab Pro and Std: Added two new Clip functions.
^$StrWordCount("Str"[;Method])$
Method = MsWord or NoteTab
To count the number of words in a string.
^$StrWordList("Str")$
To extract a word list (with duplicates removed).
* Updated Clip functions to support regular expressions and wildcards:
^$StrCount("SubStr";"Str";Options)$
^$StrPos("SubStr";"Str";Options)$
^$StrReplace("SubStr";"ReplaceStr";"Str";Options)$
Options:
C: Searches for whole words only.
I: Ignores character case.
R: Specifies that the search criteria represents a regular expression.
*: Specifies that the search criteria uses wildcards. In NoteTab Light, this option is only recognized during trial mode.
A: Use to replace all matched occurrences with ^$StrReplace. When this option is not used, only the first match is replaced.
Note that the old format for these Clip functions is still valid.
* The ^!Find and ^!Replace Clip commands also support wildcard searching. Use “*” as an option parameter. The following example searches for words that end in “tab”:
^!FIND “*tab” C*
* Added Clip command to delete the current selection:
^!DeleteSelection
* Added two Clip functions to calculate a hash signature of specified data using the SHA-1 algorithm. SHA-1 was designed by the United States National Security Agency.
^$GetSHA1File("Filename")$
Returns the SHA-1 signature of the specified file. The result is produced in hexadecimal format. Example: ^$GetSHA1File("^$GetAppFileName$")$
^$GetSHA1Text("Text")$
Returns the SHA-1 signature of the specified text. The result is produced in hexadecimal format. Example: ^$GetSHA1Text("^$GetText$")$
* Added Clips to control which type of data is pasted in a document (plain text or HTML if available):
^!SetPasteHtml [TRUE|FALSE]
When set to True and the Clipboard has data in HTML format, pasting its contents into a document inserts HTML code instead of plain text.
^$GetPasteHtml$
Returns 1 if the Paste Html option is set and 0 if it is not.
Still use CHS for it's quickpaste popup menu, which is now the best on the block. For a while, ARSclip and CHS were nose-for nose there, but now CHS is the king of the hill.One of the things I like about ArsClip is that old clips are auto-deleted on number of clips, rather than age. That means that if I don't use the PC for even a week or two, when I go back to it, the same 15 or whatever recent clips are still there in the popup. AFAIK CHS does things by date, so old clips have disappeared, and you have to pop up the main window go look for them. Further, AC now has a Search and Paste menu entry directly on the popup (it doesn't really have a main window in the usual sense anyway). That has a nice live search, and includes Removed Clips.-superboyac (July 06, 2012, 01:19 PM)
I don't know why I keep track of these things...It's now part of your nature! It's the DC effect!-superboyac (July 06, 2012, 01:19 PM)
I had forgotten to update the review with notes on this version. Must do.You might like to review the NoteFrog forum thread NoteFrog v2.2 released, where berry states this of the current production release of NoteFrog:-IainB (July 03, 2012, 09:14 PM)
for performance reasons, the size of any single stack is limited to 25,000 items (we generally see significant degradation between 10-15K on fairly powerful machines.)He's made the stack size limit user-definable in the latest beta, but I haven't tried that yet.
NoteFrog v2.2 released
Post by berry » July 3rd, 2012, 4:19 pm
NoteFrog version 2.2, the production release for version 2, has been released and is available for download.
http://notefrog.com/...s/setup_NoteFrog.exe
The "Customer Preview" sale will continue for two more days, so if you haven't purchased a license yet, you might want to act.
Oh that is surely inscrutable, pretty much goes against my knowledge of the word suppress, ie. suppress = remove;hide;subdue-4wd (June 27, 2012, 08:13 PM)
It does do what I think you want, but as ever with GNU/FSF, is inscrutable. Don't overlook that you can combine arguments. Consider two files:However, it now occurs to me that in your case, another Unix utility might be better, comm, e.g. the one contained in GNU utilities for Win32:Usage: comm [OPTION]... LEFT_FILE RIGHT_FILE
Compare sorted files LEFT_FILE and RIGHT_FILE line by line.
-1 suppress lines unique to left file
-2 suppress lines unique to right file
-3 suppress lines unique to both files
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit-rjbull (June 26, 2012, 03:19 PM)
I think that's the opposite of what we're trying to do - we want to suppress lines that are common to both files.-4wd (June 26, 2012, 07:48 PM)

However, the File Intersection program looks pretty well spot on.It's good, but as I recall it, insists on writing all three files each time. That means that in batch processes, you have to remember to delete the unwanted as well as wanted ones afterwards. But, it seems more intuitive than comm.-4wd (June 26, 2012, 07:48 PM)
rjbull, DIR /B /S is good. That can get us a list of files of both folders. Then strip away path. Once the two lists are in hand, what diff program would you use?I realise you're sorted now, but for the record, I'd most probably use a the GNU port of Unix diff, see DiffUtils for Windows.-nkormanik (June 25, 2012, 03:35 PM)

This program takes two text input files. It finds all the lines that are the same, and writes those out into a text file (defaults to common). Then it finds the lines that are unique to the first file and writes those out (defaults to unique1), and finds the lines that are unique to the second file (defaults to writing out to unique2). [...] original purpose was comparing system files like autoexec.bat between different systems in order to troubleshoot. My purpose was to help me back stuff up: I'd have a list of files (say, just for the sake of argument, a bunch of music files) that were on a CD, and a list of files that were in a folder, and this would help me figure out which were already backed up.
KillProcess
KillProcess is an application assassin of the extreme kind. It can terminate almost any process on a Windows machine, including any service and process running in the system. Even protected Microsoft system processes can be terminated. All of this can be done in the matter of milliseconds.
The speed that KillProcess can kill your applications with is determined by your computer speed and is not restricted by any other settings within the OS itself. KillProcess is way more powerful than the Task Manager in other terms than speed. It can kill multiple processes, either by multi-select or by clever use of “kill lists”. Using these techniques it is possible to “batch” terminate processes, quickly and swiftly, with a click of a button.
KillProcess can also scan the running processes on the computer, and kill them on sight, much like an anti-spyware application would. In KillProcess however you are in charge of which applications should be allowed to run or not – and that applies to the computer as long as you say so.
No, I didn't mean to imply that Linkman can bookmark a given position in a web page, but I can see how my statement might be interpreted that way.OK, thanks. Reiterating my own earlier post, it's a feature I'd like, and like to work in the same way as a text editor does. That looks more like a job for a Firefox extension than a separate program... but it was worth asking.-cyberdiva (May 30, 2012, 04:41 PM)
I should start by saying that by "bookmark," I mean setting a way to get back to a particular place in a document or a particular web page."-cyberdiva (May 29, 2012, 06:44 PM)
I would like a finder or searcher of the pdf files that are scanned or imaged, not searchables.-Contro (May 27, 2012, 12:27 PM)
Where is it to catalogue all types of files.
Do you know anyone ?-Contro (May 27, 2012, 08:46 AM)
