^$GetFileFirst(FilePath;FileSpecs[;SortingOrder])$

I've been using this command in a script for several years using
REVNAME for the sorting order. Recently, it doesn't reverse the sorting
order but gives back the same result as using NAME for the sort order.
Here is the line from the script:

^!Set %LastFilePath%=
^$GetFileFirst(D:\web\nuraste\;nn1*.htm;REVNAME)$

Does anyone see a reason it might not like what I am doing?

Thanks.

Hi,

I've tons of info on single lines, and all I need to see is the info before
the second comma for what I'm doing with it right now. I'm deleting it by
hand, line by line, but thought there might be a better way to do this with
a clip when I highlight selected data.

Sample Data:

Allegro Dance Academy, Kent, (Classes), Children, Ballet, Hip Hop, Jazz,
Lyrical, Pointe, Tap, Allegro Precision Dance Company
American Dance Institute, Seattle, adult/child/teen classes, Toddler-adult,
Pre-Ballet, Hip-Hop and Jazz, Creative Dance, Ballet
Auburn Dance Academy, Auburn, (Classes), children and young adults. tap,
jazz, ballet, lyrical, hip-hop and pointe

Sample Results:

Allegro Dance Academy, Kent
American Dance Institute, Seattle
Auburn Dance Academy, Auburn

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Corl

This should work with version 4:
^!Replace "{[^,]*},{[^,]*},.*" >> "\1,\2" RSWA
which may look in version 5 like:
^!Replace "([^,]*),([^,]*),.*" >> "$1,$2" RSWA
though I didn't try that.

Hi Corl,

It's been a while since I've been using regular expressions, but you can do this
with replace. (A simple clip can be built easily).

In your Find box, type:
^([^,]+,[^,]+).+
and in the Replace box type:
$1

Check Regular Expression in the Find dialog and hit Replace All.

Before doing this you are advised to make a backup of your original document.

Hi Alex,

That is brilliant! It works like a charm, I just replaced RSWA with IRHAS0,
so it just transforms selected text instead of the whole file in one bold
and daring move.

^!Replace "([^,]*),([^,]*),.*" >> "$1,$2" IRHAS0

Thanks so very much,
Corl

When I used that function I needed to place the path and spec in quotes
for it to work right. No idea if this might help you too.
^!Set %varFIL%=^$GetFileFirst("^%varPTH%";"^%varPAT%")$

Hi Hugo,

Alex Plantema had come up with a clip with the fundamentals your solution
has. Thank you so very much for your input as well.

> Before doing this you are advised to make a backup of your original

Oh yeah! A must always. But, thanks for the reminder.

Thanks, I put all three parameters in quotes and it still refuses to
reverse sort. I will play with it this weekend and see if the REV works
on the other selections. It may be a bug in version5.

Hi,

I want to run a PHP file in, say,  Netscape and the following seems
to work.

run netscape
^!c:/program files/netscape/netscape/netscp.exe
http://localhost/mesh4us/htdocs/sheffield/main.php?page1

It would be good to replace the filename (main.php) with a variable
that would insert the name of the file I currently have open and thus
make the clip more universally usable. Searched for days in
the 'help' but can't even find a list of usable variables.

HELP PLEASE!

It would be even more useful if I could attach the clip to a Shortcut
key.  Are either possible.

Regards
alec@...

The open file doesn't execute when you use Ctrl+T ?

I think this is what you want:

     ^$GetDocName$

     ^$GetDocName(Index)$ (added in v4.52)

     Returns the active document name, if no index is specified, or the
     document name at specified index position. An invalid index number
     returns an empty string. The first document is at index 1.

so your example would be:

^!c:/program files/netscape/netscape/netscp.exe
http://localhost/mesh4us/htdocs/sheffield/^$GetDocName$?page1

> Searched for days in
> the 'help' but can't even find a list of usable variables.
Have a look at the !$Get ....$ functions - these are what could
alternatively have been implemented as the "variables" you were looking for.

btw: nice to see another "Alec" on the list :-)    (I use "buralex" in
my email address so my FFox filter which is set to pick up all emails
with my name in it doesn't fire when news lists etc. contain my email
address.

Hi Jeff,

When I press control 'T', the file opens in 'PSPad' which I've been
playing with in desperation to see if that can be made to do what I
want.

Tried desperately to find a list of Variables in Notepad but the search
has failed.

Tried using the line below in the Shortcut.dat file. Seems you can't do
that.

Help please.

alec

It would be easy to define a variable yourself, but if I have it right,
you don't want to view any old file, but the one you're currently
working on. For that I have the following clips in my HTML.clb:

H="Netscape"
^!Url [Netscape] ^**

H="Firefox"
^!Url [Firefox] ^**

H="IExplorer"
^!Url [IExplore] ^**

H="Opera"
^!Url [Opera] ^**

N.B: That "^**" seems not to be menationioed anywhere in the files. I
got it from this very list myself. You might need to adjust your
Browsers.dat. The following works for me:

[IExplore]
Command=iexplore.exe -nohome
UseDDE=1
Application=IExplore
DdeCommand=
DdeExec="%1",,-1,0,,,,
Topic=WWW_OpenURL
Application_New=
DdeExec_New=
Topic_New=

[Opera]
Command=Opera.exe
UseDDE=0
Application=Opera
DdeCommand=
DdeExec="%1",,-1,0,,,,
Topic=WWW_OpenURL
Application_New=
DdeExec_New=
Topic_New=

[Firefox]
Command=firefox.exe
UseDDE=0
Application=Mozilla
DdeCommand=
DdeExec="%1",,-1,0,,,,
Topic=WWW_OpenURL
Application_New=
DdeExec_New=
Topic_New=

[Netscape]
Command=netscape.exe
UseDDE=1
Application=Netscape
DdeCommand=
DdeExec="%1",,-1,0,,,,
Topic=WWW_OpenURL
Application_New=
DdeExec_New=
Topic_New=

And lastly you need to make sure that the paths to all your installed
browsers are listed in the Registry under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths]

IIRC I had to add one of my four manually.

Axel

Have you tried going into the options in Windows and reassigning the
file type?

Dear Alec,

Unfortunately, ^$GetDocName seems to return the complete address string
(C:\wamp etc..) so that Netscape reports

You don't have permission to access
/mesh4us/htdocs/sheffield/C:\wamp\www\Mesh4Us\Htdocs\SHEFFIELD\main.php
on this server.

More help please :-)

Dear Axel,

I don't seem to have explained myself very well.  I've tried ^** but
that returns the full path name of the file and that wont work at all.
Running PHP files in any browser requires that a WAMP server is loaded.
Once that is done (for me at machine start-up), the file HAS to be
addressed

http://localhost/part of file address/filename.php

In one case for me it becomes..
http://localhost/mesh4us/htdocs/sheffield/main.php?page1

The PHP interpreter then runs in any browser on my machine just as it
would on a PHP enabled web host.

So I thought I'd try
^$StrReplace("C:\wamp\www\";"http://localhost/";$GetDocName$;)$

to replace the offending 'c:\wamp\www' returned by $GetDocName$ function
but I'm too dim to understand the correct syntax.

Please don't give up on an old crusty.
Alec

Ah, now I'm with you.

Yes, that's not quite right. If you have your full path in a variable, I
tend to call those %varFIL% (recurrent patterns help legibility) then
your command should read:

^!Set %varFIL%=^$FileToUrl("^$GetDocName$")$
^!Set
%varFIL%=^$StrReplace("C:/wamp/www\";"http://localhost/";"^%varFIL";FALSE;FALSE)\
$

You need to look at %varFIL% after the first !Set. There will be
something like file:// in front of the C and IIRC the colon is changed
to something else, so you need to adjust your search string.

Axel

Alec,

If I understand your circumstance here, what has worked for me is to
embed the ^$GetDocName$ function inside the ^$GetName$ function like
this: ^$GetName(^$GetDocName$)$

This returns only the file name, not the path or extension.

BTW, there's also a ^$GetPath$ function if all you need is the path,
and a ^$GetExt$ if you need the extension.  I have also used some of
the string functions (e.g., ^$StrCopyLeft$) to pull parts of the
path or filename from the $GetDocName$ function.

Hi,

I may be way off topic here, didn't really pay attention to this thread, but if
you need to launch a webfile from a specific serverpath you may have a look at
the HTML files tab in Options (Preview Server Side).

From help:

Server Name and Physical Path: These fields enable previewing of Web pages, such
as ASP and Cold Fusion, through a local Web server (e.g. MS Personal Web
Server). The relevant fields are "Server Name" (e.g. localhost) and "Physical
Path" (e.g. c:\inetpub\wwwroot\html). When these fields are set, any file under

Alec,

If I understand your circumstance here, what has worked for me is to
embed the ^$GetDocName$ function inside the ^$GetName$ function like
this: ^$GetName(^$ GetDocName$ )$

This returns only the file name, not the path or extension.

BTW, there's also a ^$GetPath$ function if all you need is the path,
and a ^$GetExt$ if you need the extension. I have also used some of
the string functions (e.g., ^$StrCopyLeft$ ) to pull parts of the
path or filename from the $GetDocName$ function.

Dear Axel,

Thanks a lot. Modified as follows it WORKS!

^!Set %varFIL%=^$GetDocName$

^!Set
%varFIL%=^$StrReplace("C:\wamp\www\";"http://localhost/";"^%varFIL";FALSE
;FALSE)$

^!Set %varFIL%=^$StrReplace("\";"/";"^%varFIL";FALSE;FALSE)$

^!c:/program files/netscape/netscape/netscp.exe ^%varFIL%

One last question and I'll get out of your hair.
Is it possible to attach this clip to a shortcut key.  I've tried just
adding it to a key in shortcut.dat but that doesn't work of course.

Thanks again and regards
alec

As far as I'm aware, no. I have added my clips of this ilk to the
configurable Clipbar. OTOH there are only so many shortcuts I can
remember and more than just two or three programs I use, so, much as I
dislike saying it, sometimes the mouse is not such a bad idea after all.

Alec,

Just to make sure, have you gone to View > Options then the HTML Files tab?

There is a place on the middle right portion of the screen called
"Preview server-side".

It allows you to specify the Server name and the Physical Path. F1 Help
will give explicit directions on this.

Setting these allow you to see php, cgi, ruby, whatever pages in
whichever web browser you direct them to.

This should avoid some of the code-wrangling you are using now.

Sheri - did you ever "release" your Custom clipkeys? I was looking for
it in the yahoo group clips list and it doesn't appear to be there. (I
guess because it relies on PowerPro?)

I guess getting Eric to implement it "natively" in Notetab isn't quite
as simple as a Debug LOG file option :-)

Thanks everyone for your help.
Axel gave me the answer and the following works well.
-----
^!Set %varFIL%=^$GetDocName$
^!Set
%varFIL%=^$StrReplace("C:\wamp\www\";"http://localhost/";"^%varFIL";FALSE
;FALSE)$
^!Set %varFIL%=^$StrReplace("\";"/";"^%varFIL";FALSE;FALSE)$
^!c:/program files/netscape/netscape/netscp.exe ^%varFIL%
-----
It would be good to assign the clip to a shortcut key but I can find no
lead to how that can be done. Maybe it's not possible.
Thanks again.
Alec

I have found the FTP template and I do know how to use the commandline
version of FTP, but I still need help here.

All pages on my sites carry the "valid HTML" icon and the easiest way to
verify changes is to load the page and click that. Unfortunately this
makes checking alterations a three step process
1) Save file
2) Upload using Totalcommander
3) Open or reload in Browser
Does anyone have a clip that uploads the current file that I could
modify to meet my setup? Adding a browser call for that file would be
trivial, but I have no idea how to go about the FTP bit.

Danke

Axel,

I put together a lot of information I found online about command line
FTP a several years ago.

I have an outline file on my NoteTab page:
http://www.kairoscomputers.com/notetab/

See the link "FTP Notes (Not just for NoteTab)".

You can either download the outline file, or browse from the FTP Note
page. http://www.kairoscomputers.com/notetab/FTP_Notes.php

The nice thing about ftp.exe is that it is scriptable. The outline
includes examples of batch files.

The FTP clip library included with NoteTab uses the Windows ftp.exe.
The FTP Server Setup clip allows you to specify a directory to use by
default. I see that the Upload script may have an issue. I do not have
time to troubleshoot it right now.

I thought for sure I had a clip to do FTP like you want, but cannot
find it at the moment. I will post it when/if I find it, or re-write it.

I believe that Jody may have had one on his site. I know he had one
for use with WSFtp.

Yes thanks, a well-done manual. But as I said, I do know how to use
ftp.exe manually - not good at it by any means but able to accomplish
the basics. What I'm looking for is a sample clip doing an upload. I
have never yet tried to run (as opposed to just call) external programs
through clips and no idea how to go about it.

Axel,

If you look into your NoteTab Libraries folder you should find an
'FTP.clb' file.  It appears to assist you in using Windows Ftp program
and creating scripts for uploading and/or downloading.

I believe this library is part of the NoteTab installation.  With a
little experimentation it may fill your requirements.

I have been trying to find a way to take the height and width of an
image and scale them down by a reduction factor of 1-5. For ex: a
1600x1400 picture becomes 800x700 if I used a reduction factor of 2. I
am a noob at a lot of this clipping stuff. Can someone help me out?
