Then I think may be of utility the Intelli Web Search free version for searching with Google or other engine.

If we can use wild cards may be enough.

Close the dictionary/appmute.exe and you should be able to save from pspad again. Obviously the exe is keeping the file opened so no other application can write to it.
If pspad can't do it, then switch to notepad++, it has beter support for such situations, AFAIK.

-Ath (September 10, 2017, 01:24 PM)

I'll do. I am used to PSPAD. I am using notepad++ sometimes....

BTW I need to convert the html file to csv. I thinks is not possible in an automated way. It's not a html table.
I wish to know how to do it using the resulting html.html file

If someone shows me how to form the first line

word ; <meanings>

then I will do the rest !

N.A.N.Y. 2018 / NEAR duplicate filter in lines of a txt file or similar

« Last post by Contro on September 10, 2017, 08:48 AM »

A clever duplicate finder of lines in a txt file.
Suppose you have lines in a text file. Somes are similar but not equal.
Suppose are quotes or wisdom phrases. Each one has an author and a content.
Sometimes the difference is a space, a symbol like "-" , "" itself, a little difference in the phrase finally.

I need a program to detect and logs all these similar phrases and the possibility to delete those lines in an organized way.

As you may supposed the parameters may be one or more. Parameters : The author, the content, the year, the origin, etc......

Post New Requests Here / Re: Manipulate lines in a txt file

« Last post by Contro on September 10, 2017, 07:30 AM »

Perhaps an example would better explain the question?

Input text:

[Select]

Phrase 1. Phrase 2. Phrase 3.
Phrase 4.
Phrase 5. Phrase 6. Phrase 7.

Output Option 1 (Phrase 4 remains since it is the only Phrase in the line):

[Select]

Phrase 2.
Phrase 3.
Phrase 4.
Phrase 6.
Phrase 7.

Output Option 2 (Phrase 4 is removed because it is the first Phrase in the line):

[Select]

Phrase 2.
Phrase 3.
Phrase 6.
Phrase 7.

Which is the preferred output option, 1 or 2?

-4wd (September 07, 2017, 09:26 PM)

The phrase 4 must be removed.
I have assumed that the input text is the result of the first process of the phrases.
So I have control of that phrase and I don't need that phrase anymore.

When a line have only one phrase we can remove that line because I have processed that phrase previously.

Best Regards

Please . What is the question exactly i can respond yes or no ?

-Contro (September 07, 2017, 03:19 PM)

- What should happen if a line in the file has only 1 period in it. Should that line be removed, or should it remain in the output?

-Ath (August 09, 2017, 05:38 AM)

-Ath (September 07, 2017, 03:22 PM)

That line must be removed

Try Dictionary! It looks up a list of words on Dictionary.com.

Add new words to the text file, the default is words.txt, and the definitions are downloaded from Dictionary.com and saved to html.html.

The Chrome addon is adopted !

Is not the tool I wish now. I need to capture the meaning to process . And not only the meaning of a word. The meaning of several words.

Note : I don't know if is possible to search for phrases or compound words.

In the e-book is not possible. If I selected a group of word try to open wikipedia, and gives me also the possibility to translate with google translate ( I need to think in english, so I don't want to translate...)

In the ereader i am using wordnet and oxford dictionary.

This does not match what you are looking for, but it may help you in many other ways.

It's a Chrome extension that allows you to double-click any word in your browser and it will show a definition. It also places an extension icon near your address bar which allows you to type in a word to find the definition. The downsides are that it doesn't work offline and obviously won't help you with text outside of your browser (which probably includes the book you're reading).

https://chrome.googl...beboacabfgobmjgjcoja

I've used it for years and really like it.

-Deozaan (September 08, 2017, 12:43 AM)

I also remember an utility specially made for traductors in autohotkey that was able to launch searchs and other abilities.
I don't remember now its name, but I will investigate

Running to see the chrome addon.

But I read the ebook in a kindle, not in a browser.
I am supposing is more easy to find words in a offline dictionary.

Each word may have a lot of meanings. And I need all the meanings.
So a word or derivative may have from one line to many lines of text.

I use a program that identify the block with two ** (one at the beginning and other at the end)
