So I added a few methods to FastString, so it can use the writeable interface. I'm surprised I didn't think of this before, really... I'm not sure who uses the...
Hi Tom, ElfData can help you parse complicated stuff, yes. However, it's still going to be a hard problem (I imagine) with or without ElfData. You'd need to...
Hi Tom, Thinking about this more, the best question is "where to start". What level of complexity or correctness or speed are you aiming for? Do you want a...
Well my interest lies in being able to access the author, creation date, last used date, etc. These are normally accessible via right clicking the file in...
Hi Tom, ... Well... I'm not sure how many is "many", or how fast you need it to run. If you aren't the expert in parsing data formats, perhaps you'd want to...
Hi Tom, If I am guessing right... I think what you are asking for is a little advice on how to write the code to parse your excel format? So it's more a "how...
Theo, Well my question is partly parsing excel, but also the idea of using something thats fast and efficient to do it with as well...your plugin. Considering...
So, I added optional case insensitivity to ElfDataTokeniser. In fact it's a little more advanced than that. It's not just ASCII case insensitivity. Because...
http://elfdata.com/plugin/ • Altered ElfDataTokeniser.ByteExtender to now take an additional "UnknownWord" parameter. (Documented in the tech ref) • Added...
REALsoftware are still blocking my emails to the REALbasic-NUG. Here is one I sent yesterday. Has not arrived yet. All I'm doing is trying to help. Here's the...

Hi everyone, In order to help myself and help the RB community at the same time, I've decided I'm going to write a handy little php script. What this will do,...
http://elfdata.com/rb/ OK, so this works really nicely! One self-contained php file that does everything, even allow you to download it's own source code. It...
Hi Theo. (1) This does look useful. I'll have to upload this and see how well I can get it to work as part of a WordPress blog. :) (2) You might want to add a...
Hi Theo. Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I just (1) reloaded your elfdata.com/rb page in Safari and (2) uploaded your file onto my own site with a test folder....
I have a question about ElfData's UTF property. The reference says: UTF as Integer -- get/set Sets the format to the format passed. Accepts 8, 16, or 32. If...
Hi Howard, setting .UTF does NO data conversion. It is just a flag. If you want to convert data, use ElfData.ConvertTo You can set the property to 0 if you...
In case anyone is interested in new projects that I'm up to... I'm making a little app to create srt files. What are srt files? They are subtitle files for...
Hi Theo. I'm trying to figure out how you delete individual nodes from a RingTree. Your reference mentions no explicit Delete methods. I assume that simply...
Hi Howard, Actually... this is one question even I asked myself recently, despite knowing that it is in there somewhere... It's not entirely obvious. ...
Hi Theo. More questions. :) The reference says that MSR.Search() returns an ElfData, but the example suggests that it really returns an Integer -- the number...
Hi Howard, I'm always happy to hear questions in fact I wish more people would ask questions instead of just giving up ;) MSR.Search's techref is wrong, good...
Hi Howard, I see the confusion here. In fact it was my fault. I wrote this: "By passing the optional "Length" parameter, you can find out how long was the text...
So... here's a handy little function to read UTF-8 out of text files. It should handle UTF-8, Latin-1, UTF-16 (LE and BE), and UTF-32. It should work despite...
So... I wanted my latest app (called SubX), to have "proxy icons" in the window. That's the little cool thing that let's you right click on the window title,...
OK, so my rb php script is really showing it's usefulness now. I just added a new project that that page with almost no effort!! So... download the example...
I fixed a bug in FastString.AppendHex! This bug must have been around for years before I noticed it yesterday. I guess I never passed "6" as a number for it to...
Hi everyone, If you downloaded ElfData v5.44 before this message has arrived, I actually did not fix it 100%. So I fixed it properly and reuploaded it. If you...
