But it did not. I had to use ^[c]consummables, and then it worked
For the uninitiated [c] is one letter in a regexp class by itself :)

I do not know why it did not work for you unless there were more
options in your Clip that was causing it not to be found.  All my
examples work here in Pro 4.82 and ^consummables "RI" also worked
for me in Std when I tested.

Happy Clip'n!

Hello folks!
I have been so thrilled with NoteTab ever since I bought it. My life is
SO much easier now. This is also due to the wonderful help that I have
received
from this list and for that I say thanks.

The problem I am having now is with Dialog boxes.
I have about 1000 text files that I need to reformat to 50 lines.
I can do everything else, jump from document to document and so on
but once the ^!Toolbar Reformat Lines command is encountered, the dialog
box
pops up wanting the parameters.

How do I automate this so that I don't have to keep typing it in 'Left
Margin'
and 'Right Margin' Values all the time?

Thanks so much in advance,
Julian

Hi Julian,

> I have been so thrilled with NoteTab ever since I bought it. My
> life is SO much easier now.

Yes!

> How do I automate this so that I don't have to keep typing it
> in 'Left Margin' and 'Right Margin' Values all the time?

Try ^$StrReformat

StrFormat
^$StrFormat("Str";LeftMargin;TextWidth;Justify)$

Returns the "Str" string in specified format. LeftMargin
determines the number of blank spaces to insert between the left
margin and the text; TextWidth defines the maximum width of the
text in each line; Justify is either True or False and determines
if the text is left and right justified.

This command is only available in the commercial and trial
versions of NoteTab.

Here are some examples:

^!Select All
^!InsertText ^$StrFormat("^$GetClipboard$";1;62;False)$

^!Select All
^$StrFormat("^$GetSelection$";5;70;False)$

^!Select All
^$StrFormat("^$GetText$";1;62;No)$

^!Select All
^!Set %Text%=^$GetSelection$
^$StrFormat("^%Text%";1;62;No)$

^!Select All
^!Set %Text%=^$GetText$
^!InsertText ^$StrFormat("^%Text%";5;50;0)$

Happy Clip'n!

I have missed some steps in this thread, but I wonder whether the following
might have something to do with the problem:

- Start NTP afresh

- Make a search for  ^consumables using the Find command and the regexp
option.

- It should behave just as Piotr described it (does for me at least).

- Then make a one line clip:
    ^!Find "^consumables" TISR

- It should behave just as Jody described it, ie find it nicely.

- Now try the Find command again. Lo and behold! Now it works.

Regards /Claes

Thanks, Piotr...>!

I'll take a look.

If you mean ^!Find "^c..." R, then it works first time for me in
Pro on a fresh start.  I asked Eric:

Yes, it should ignore the traditional tokens ^p and ^t when in
RegEx mode. I saw the posts on the newsgroup but have not had
time to verify if there is a problem or not...

I think there is a problem but there also is a workaround :)

Nope, didn't make myself clear. Try again:

- Start NTP afresh

- Make a search for  "^consumables"  using the Find command in the
   Search menu with the regexp option (no Clip!)

- It should behave just as Piotr described it, ie interpret ^c as a
   line break, and thus no hit (does for me at least).

- Then make a one line clip:
    ^!Find "^consumables" TISR

- It should behave just as Jody described it, ie find it nicely.

- Now try the Find command in the Search menu again (no Clip).
   Now that works.

OK. I saw Find command and my search menu in it is the white
field that is made with the ^?[] code in the ^!Find command. <g>
I see you must be talking about the Find dialog and if I remember
correctly we saw this is the past with some other things.
Nevertheless, RegExp needs a bit of tweeking, but still better
than before. :)

Thanks!

I want a script to search through a text file for certain strings and then
copy that line and the two following to a new document. The log file
contains non binary(?) characters so I have to use hte filter. That is why
there are lots of "·" characters.

There are about 6 drives in the log I want to be listed.

I have no idea as to the best way to achieve the results I want. Any
tutorials or text parsing smples will be greatly received. Also total
working solutions will also be very well received.

Thanks

This is a pretty simple approach which sets up the pasteboard, finds a chunk
of text, selects the wholeline, then copys. This will paste the line into
the pasteboard document. It then finds the next chunk of text etc.
It loops untill an error, ie; can't find a new "Backup started on"
The logfile must be the focused document in notetab.
Hope this helps.

Greetings!  I am a new user of NoteTab Light.

In a clip script, I use a checkbox prompt (T=A) to return any of the
options that a user checks (of course :-)...

For my example, a possible string returned is:

   "SOLO";"DUET";"TRIO";"QUARTET"

I need to then insert the text in the document somewhat as follows:

STYLE:  SOLO DUET TRIO QUARTET

What is the easiest way to remove the ";" (three characters) from the
original string?  I have tried the $StrReplace()$ function, but
cannot find a way to set up the search for string as '";"'...

For some reason  ^!Set %QSQ%=^$DecToChar(34)$^%SC%^$DecToChar(34)$
followed by:
^!Set %MYLINE%=^$StrReplace("^%QSQ%";" ";"^VAL%;False;False)$

did not work... (Caution, I am typing this from recollection, there
may be a few inaccuracies, but I just want to show the general idea I
have tried...)  Is there a way that works?

Hi Clippers,

I updated my Juno clip to copy email from Juno to either text or
outline, and some clips to clean up the outline headers and topics.
Plus a couple more. I will have it posted on my site soon.

I tried to make one that would clean up the file that Juno makes when
exporting it message folders, but it adds a lot of junk that makes
for corrupt data when opening as a text file. My solution is a little
more work than a clip might have been to do the same, but it avoid a
lot of headaches. Also a text/outline file is about 1/3 the size of a
message folder! I freed up over 25 MB on my hard drive!

Now I use these clips as I get mail to keep things organized as I go.

You said it not me. <bg>  Try this:

H=List Delimiter
^!SetListDelimiter ^%Space%
^!Info ^?{(T=A) to return any of the=SOLO|DUET|TRIO|QUARTET}

The preset variable should be used when a space is required at
the ends of lines because of a NoteTab Option to trim white
spaces.

"Trim White Spaces: Spaces at the end of paragraphs are removed
when the document is saved."

A paragraph in NoteTab is all text on a line up to a hard line
break (CR/LF).

So:

A paragraph(CRLF)

is a paragraph. :)

Happy Clip'n!

I need some help with writing a search/replace clip that will do the
following:

Wherever there is "INPUT", find the next ">" and replace with " />".

I am relatively new to clip programming, but not to Notetab. I

You can try:

:Loop
^!Find "INPUT" AS
^!IfError Exit Else Next
^!Replace ">" >> "/>" TAS
^!IfError Exit Else Loop

If you are converting to XHTML, try the menu option:

          Modify-->Change HTML Tags-->To XHTML

It will correct those tags that have no closing tag, and
insert the "/" before the ">" if missing.

Has to be simple, but this is one clip I just don't seem to
comprehend...

I have a number, say 700001, I want to select this and have the clip
paste 700002 below (next row), then 700003 in next row, and so on.

thanks in advance.

Try this monster out. ;)

<---     Copy below this line     --->
H=Increment Once
; 07-12-2000, jody
; Set your cursor inside the number and click.

^!Set %nnn%=^$GetBlock$
^!Inc %nnn%
^!Jump Line_End
^!InsertText ^p^%nnn%
; ^!Jump +1

<---  Copy above this line, right --->
<---   click over a Library, and  --->
<---  choose "Add from Clipboard" --->

Either my nnnLines or DirStuff or NoteBlock lets you renumber
lines, and a number of other other things dealing with line
numbering, but I don't have the time to look for the correct
one now.

Happy Clip'n!

thank you Jody

yes, it does seem obvious after all.

I modified your thought slightly:

^!Set %nnn%=^$GetBlock$
^!Inc %nnn%
^!Jump Line_Start
^!Keyboard DOWN
^!InsertText ^p^%nnn%
^!Jump Line_Start

which locates the new number as a column, after providing that there
is a space or tab after the last digit, and a space in the following
row to delimit the block. Then (of course) I wanted the whole show to
loop...simple enough...

:Start
^!Set %nnn%=^$GetBlock$
^!Inc %nnn%
^!Jump Line_Start
^!Keyboard DOWN
^!InsertText ^p^%nnn%
^!Jump Line_Start
^!GoTo Start

of course, it will go on for maybe ten thousand lines, until I hit
CTRL+ALT and then save the document while pressing those keys. Then
(of course) going back to delete miles of iterations which occurred
after running out of real content....

It was fun though ;)

And I just bet there is a way to tell the loop to stop itself at just
the right time...hmmmm....

(btw...congrats on your offspring's musical talent...)

tnx again,

Try this change:

^!Set %Counter%=^?[How many lines?]
:Start
^!Set %nnn%=^$GetBlock$
^!Inc %nnn%
^!Jump Line_Start
^!Keyboard DOWN
^!InsertText ^p^%nnn%

^!Dec %Counter%

Hi Larry & Frank,

Your welcome.  I didn't seem to get your post Larry replied to.

Wherever those Clips are I mentioned there is one or more that do
what you want and one of them is similar to Larry's.  I think
there is one you put in the number you want it to start at and
then tell it when to end also.  I try to stay away from keyboard
commands when possible. Jump +1 does the same thing as Keyboard
Down, except Jump +1 automatically puts you at column one.

Huh? :)

Here is another clip to do the job.  This clip does use the ^!Keyboard
command but I could not think of a way to get this particular idea to work
otherwise.  This clip does not loop but does the whole job in one run from
beginning to end.  Ir is a little faster than the other one when doing
large numbers of lines.  It assumes that the first word on the line is a
number.  Just place your cursor anywhere on the line and run it.  I used
^$Getword$ instead of ^$Getblock$ to avoid getting periods if the number
has a period at its right end.  If you want the numbers to have periods,
delete the ^!Replace line.

Hi Larry,

> Here is another clip to do the job.

Yet one more, Like I really have the time for this - hahaha.
I looked in my nnnLines and NoteBlock.  Between the two of
them there are about a dozen different Clips dealing with
numbering lines.  There is one that will renumber them in
the case of lines being deleted, another to strip all the
numbers with an option to specify what follows them like a
period space or colon space. I noticed I had some like your
last one too Larry. :)  I just added this one to nnnLines
and uploaded. It is really a pretty custom type Clip though
I think.  Personally I think it would be better not to get
the exiting line number and that way if it was a new doc you
do not get that first line skipped.

Hi, folks,

I have a fixed text file with no delimiters.
1271 rows deep. characters 56-67 are money amounts with decimal and two
places to right of decimal.

I'd like to add the entire amount.

Using Modify | Block | Sum I can specify this, but I get an 'unable to
calculate expression' response.

At any rate, I'd rather perform this task from the clip that took the text
from a CSV and stuck it into this file. Need the total for the 'control'
footer line at bottom.

Is this do-able?

I've noticed before that NoteTab seems to have a limit to how many rows it
can calculate at a time - have had to break up into chunks and then add the
sums together. Is this the norm?

thanks,

Regards,

There is a DoToLines component available from my page (
http://home.att.net/~ptools/main/index.htm ). Using it is quite easy to do
what you had in mind.

I acknowledge that the component might be confusing for some users, and I
intend to make it more direct whenever I have the time. Particularly, the
":Finish" label is misleading: it should be named ":Continue". There are
examples on the component's use,  however, on my page. And the following is
another one. Look at it, compare it with the bare component, and you'll
know how to use it in the future.

Of course, ClipWriter is a big help, too. I wrote and tested this in 10
minutes:

I tested with the following sample text (it would have been nice if you had
given us a sample -- writing it took me almost as long as writing the clip):

qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty qwert    1234.95   more

qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty qwert      11.23   more
qwerty END OF LINE
qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty qwerty qwert      34.2382 more
qwerty END OF LINE
*************************

The displayed  result is:

1234567.2345
    1234.95
     345.76
      11.23
      34.2382

  sum = 1236193.4127

Hi All,

Has anyone come across a failure of a SetArray variable not taking the
contents of a ^$Getfiles ???

The strange thing is I use exactly the same syntax (same drive etc)
elswhere in the clip library and it works fine.

The problem child shows, when setdebug is on, that the Array is not
being set.

Here is the clipcode(actually modifed from help from Jody):

---------------------------------
^!Setdebug ON
^!Set %pub%="g:\her\fem\"
^!TOOLBAR Close All
^!SetListDelimiter ^p
^!SetArray %OpenList%=^$GetFiles("^%pub%";*.htm;DATE)$
^!Set %Count%=^%OpenList0%
^!Set %Index%=0
--------------------------------------

Here is the near-identical version from another clip that works
fine(some variables having
been set in previous clip):
--------------------------------------
^!Set %pub%="g:\her\"
^!TOOLBAR Close All
^!SetListDelimiter ^p
^!SetArray %OpenList%=^$GetFiles("^%pub%^%dir%";^%Type%;^%Sort%)$
^!Set %Count%=^%OpenList0%
^!Set %Index%=0
-------------------------------


In the first one, debug shows %Count%= (ie nothing after =) In the
second it shows %Count%=5 (eg, the number of files in the dir)

What could be the result of this strange behaviour.


Best regards,
Alan

Try adding an extra semicolon between *.htm and DATE.

^!SetArray %OpenList%=^$GetFiles("^%pub%";*.htm;;DATE)$

The function could be seeing DATE as an attribute pattern instead of the
sort order.
