I would only add that if you start NoteTab with switches on the commandline to
make it automatically run a clip (e.g., that uses ^!MinimizeApp), you must also
specify a file to be loaded on the commandline to ensure that NoteTab is started
in a state that can run clips. In other words, you want to guard against NoteTab
starting up with [Clips] as the active document tab.

IS it possible to store the answer  of a math problem then recall it later in
the same clip ?

EXAMPLE

^$CALC((^?[A=]+^?[B=]);4)$  say it =C store "C" and use it in spot

^$CALC((^?[C=]+^?[D=]);4)$ ECT

Just like on a calculator and use it in the same clip at another spot

You can store C as a variable, %C%
To retrieve the result in it, put a caret in front of it, ^%C%

^!Set %C%=^$CALC((^?[A=]+^?[B=]);4)$
^!Set %E%=^$CALC((^%C%+^?[D=]);4)$
^!Info E=^%E%

This does what I wanted. But is there a way I can have it put the  calculation
in the file. And not just pop up a dialog box?

Use one of the insert commands. Either of the following would probably do:

Use "^!InsertText " instead of "^!Set %E%=" and remove the ^!Info line

or

Use "^!InsertText ^%E%" instead of "^!Info E=^%E%"

Regards,
Sheri

Let me stick my neck out and speculate, that what you really want is to use the
result at a later time or date. NoteTab can do that too!

You don't even have to bother with file handling.


Take the result from Sheri's calculation, and create PERMANENT variables
instead:

^!SaveValue MikesMath:C=^%C%
^!SaveValue MikesMath:E=^%E%

Or, you could save the data in 1 step (omitting the temporary variable):

^!SaveValue MikesMath:C=^$CALC((^?[A=]+^?[B=]);4)$
^!SaveValue MikesMath:E=^$CALC((^%C%+^?[D=]);4)$


even if you close NoteTab, and shut off your PC, you can retrieve this data the
next time you start up again (unless you OVERWRITE the data before that), with:

^!Set %c%=^$GetValue(MikesMath:C)$
^!Set %e%=^$GetValue(MikesMath:E)$


Read the section about variables in NoteTab help.

I switched from old laptop to new laptop.

I moved notetab from retired machine to new machine.

I often paste information back and forth between notetab and excel ... but
suddenly when I paste tab delimited data to excel, it has square boxes instead
of tabs so columns are not honored.

Have not had this issue in the paste.

I am on win XP and excel 2003.

Is the Excel doc using Unicode?

I sometimes have to use the Modify function and Convert to ascii to
paste into Excel.

I realize this may be off topic and perhaps should move, but I do this
as part of a number of clips.

Make sure NT's default new document type is Ascii, or DOS/Windows. Make sure
tab type is 'real'. (Options, Documents)



Copy (Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C) your text in NoteTab, and Paste it (Ctrl-V) into a new
document. If it looks OK, then you're proven that there are high order bits
set in your document. The new document should be 'clean'. It is not
sufficient to just save the original document, it will not clear the high
bits.



You can investigate one of the boxes by highlighting it first, then run the
following clip:

^!Info \x^$IntToHex(^$CharToDec(^$StrCopyLeft("^$GetSelection$";1)$)$)$

John

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I had already made sure that tab was real.

I set view>options>save as to Dos/Windows
Opened a new document, copied the old to it, and it pastes correctly to
excel I believe now.
I don't see ASCII as an option there.
It was set to original before that.

I'm looking for a clip to calculate the day of the week according to a given
date in this way:

I write
20041106-
then I click a key combination and notetab calculates and completes:
20041106-Fri

Let me know if someone has ever needed somethign like this.
Thanks. Orks.

If you skip the dash and write and/or highlight just:

20100415

This clip should produce what you want:

^!InsertText ^$GetDateFromInt(^$GetDateToInt(^&;yyyymmdd)$;yyyymmdd-ddd)$

Useful for genealogy, calculating  dates  referenced as  "Last Tuesday"
as an example. A lot of sources, (newspapers)  have a publication date
and state "20 Inst" which would the  the 20th of the current month, or
Ult. (the last month).

Also a lot of genealogy sources like   grave markers and  Death Certs,
list age in Tears, months and days, but fail to state the actual birth
date. calculating that would be a good  NoteTab clip, although there are
web-based calculators already out there.

I am trying to get "Insert Date/Time" to work

I found In
ClipCode Syntax.otl
^!Menu NameSequence

This works
^!MENU Document/Insert Document Name
^!MENU File/Exit

This does not work
^!MENU Document/Insert Date/Time

What am I doing wrong?

Mark,

Try it as it is shown in the Help file.

^!Menu Document/"Insert Date/Time"

Double quotes because of the space in the Insert command.

You may also need to format the output to suit.
That's in View/Options/Tools Date Filter.

·············································
ºvº SL_day# 106 - created 2010.04.16_18.23.43

    I'm not tense, just terribly, terribly alert.

   € hrs €  hsavage € pobox € com

  >^~ ^

Not tested but I think you probably need to quote Insert Date/Time ie.
^!MENU Document/"Insert Date/Time"

Unless you've turned off the prompting (bypass clip wizards) option, if you
actually run the clipcode syntax clip and select ^!Menu, it should run a dialog
that lets you click Document then click Insert Date/Time. It inserts it into the
current document as:

^!Menu Document/"Insert Date/Time"

If the clip's option is configured to bypass clip wizards, you don't get the
dialog. Then it just inserts ^!Menu NameSequence

Regards,
Sheri

It might be easier to use the ^$GetDate function, then you can format the output
to meet your needs without setting it in Options.
Example from a clip:
^!Set %datetime%=^$GetDate(dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy: hh:mm)$
^!Info ^%datetime%

Hi!

cn_le asked about something like this on the Basic list and since I
happened to have an old clip that just needed a little cleaning up I
thought I'd post it... Turned out the cleaning up took 4 hours. More
about that below.

Copy between the lines. Create a new library by right-clicking over
the combo box on top of the clipbook, then right-click in the blank
clipbook window and choose "Add from Clipboard". This will result in
4 lines. The first one turns the clipboard watching on and off. The
second is for clearing all collected snips. The third one is grayed
out and can't be clicked. That's the clip that makes something happen
when you copy text to the clipboard. The fourth, the red one, is just
a delimiter, but it's needed for the Clear clip to work correctly, so
don't delete it. The snips that are saved from the clipbook will show
up below it. Everything below this line will be deleted when you run
the Clear clip. There's one long line that will probably be broken by
email. You have to join it to one line again. It's marked out with comments.

-----------------------------------------------------
H="Status On/Off"

^!Set %watch_clipboard%=^?{Watch clipboard==ON^=1|OFF^=0}

H="Clear collected text"
^!Set %ww%=^$IsWordWrap$
^!Set %curr_doc%=^$GetDocIndex$
^!SetWordWrap off
^!SetScreenUpdate off

^!Open "^$GetLibraryPath$^$GetLibraryName$.clb"
^!Jump text_start
^!Find "^%sc%Text collected from clipboard""
^!Jump select_end
^!Set %deltxt%=^$GetRow$:^$GetCol$
^!Jump text_end
^!SelectTo ^%deltxt%
^!Menu Edit/Delete
^!Save
^!Export "^##" ANSI
^!Close


^!SetDocIndex ^%curr_doc%
^!If ^%ww%=1 next else end
^!SetWordWrap on
^!ReloadLibrary

H="_OnClipboardChange"

^!IfFalse ^%watch_clipboard% end else next
; Long line follows
^!AppendToFile "^$GetLibraryPath$^$GetLibraryName$.clb"
^%nl%^%nl%h="^$StrReplace("^p";"^%space%";"^$StrCopy("^$GetClipboard$";1;50)$";f\
alse;false)$"^%nl%^$GetClipboard$^%nl%
; End long line
^!ReloadLibrary

H=";Text collected from clipboard"
------------------------------------------------------------------

Now to the 4 hour cleanup. First the clip worked. Then it didn't.
After some fiddling it started to work again and then it stopped
again. That is, it  stopped to show the copied text in the clipbook
but when I opened the library as a document the text was there and it
looked perfectly alright. Drove me nuts. After three hours or so I
discovered that when viewed in the clip editor the copied text was
inserted under the red heading, as content!

At last I opened the clb in another editor and it showed that some
line endings were windows CR/LF and some were LF and that's what made
Notetab screw up as it turned out! I have Notetab set to save with
Unix line endings but the clipbook editor of course uses Windows
ones. Since the clip opens the library as a document and saves it
again I ended up with line ending clutter. Hence the ^!Export in the
clip. That fixed it (touch wood!). I learnt something from this, so I
thought I should tell the gruesome story and maybe save someone else
from pulling their hair out as I did.

I'll direct cn_le here shortly.

Lotta

Always a mistake somewhere...

In the middle there's this.

Move ^!ReloadLibrary to before the if statement or it isn't to any
use. I was sprinkling those all over and deleted the wrong one it
seems. It doesn't matter really, because Notetab seems to update
either you tell it to or not, but it feels safer to have those
^!RealodLibrary commands for some reason.

Lotta

Not sure what's up, and no time to step through it just now, but it is not
working for me.

I made the fix and made sure the long line was correct before trying the clip
for the first time. So will have to review and see what I may have done wrong
with my copy & paste from online to a new clb.

Hay that works thanks.
This also works
^!Keyboard ALT+D T
and
^$GetDate(mmmm dd, yyyy hh:nn:ss am/pm)$

The fix shouldn't matter in practice. Don't tell me it only works on
my machine now. :-(

Lotta

Found the problem!

I needed a space on the ^!AppendToFile line between the second " and the
first ^%NL%.

I added a debug and the clip was "working", except for the append part. It
was not until I changed to to paste to an OTL then a txt file that I
reviewed the help file and happened to notice the missing space. I cleaned
up that long line just a little too much. :-(

Sorry for the confusion! I seem to have plenty to spare. It is Monday after
all! ;-)
