Thanks for the help, it brings up a couple questions.

How do I send the name of the current file instead of ^%PyFile% in
^!INFO ^$GetOutput(python "^%PyFile%")$

Where is info on the function ^$getScriptPath()$

Thanks,
Kent

This should get you started

You can grab the output of a python script with notetabs
^$GetOutput()$ method

H= pythonHelloWorldTest
;name the script to be placed in ntabs script folder
^!Set %PyFile%=^$getScriptPath()$test.py
^!Toolbar new document
;the 2 line python script
print "hello hello"
print "is that parrot dead monty?"
^!Save as ^%PyFile%
;run python script and get  output
^!INFO ^$GetOutput(python "^%PyFile%")$

Hi Kent,

Grant might give you the whole thing, but here ya go...

>How do I send the name of the current file instead of ^%PyFile% in
>^!INFO ^$GetOutput(python "^%PyFile%")$

GetInputOutput
^$GetInputOutput("Command")$

Launches the console program specified by "Command" and sends the
current document text to the StdInput data stream. The function
returns the console's StdOutput data stream. The stderr stream is
saved in file called "StdError.err" in NoteTab's application
directory unless another file is specified with the
SetStdErrorName command. This command is only available in the
commercial and trial versions of NoteTab.

Try something like these:

; ^** = path to focused unsaved document if exists otherwise
; the path to the focused doc in saved state
^!Set %File%=^**
^!Info ^$GetInputOutput(python "^%File%")$

^!Set %File%=^?[(T=O)Get file path]
^!Info ^$GetInputOutput(python "^%File%")$

> Where is info on the function ^$getScriptPath()$

In Help under Clip Language - Disk Directories (I searched for
GetScript under the Find tab). I'm not sure why Grant through in
the "()" in the function except for you can do that in functions
that don't normally have them.

^$GetScriptPath$
Returns the path for NoteTab script files (e.g. AWK, Perl, etc.;
always ends with backslash).

I still use Wayne's Cross Reference which I try to update with
commands and functions it is not all of them.  Wayne has some
nice Libraries at his site NoteAwk being the most talked about
after the Cross Reference. ;)

^$GetScriptPath$
Returns the path for NoteTab script files (e.g. AWK, Perl, etc.;
always ends with backslash).

You must have saved the python script you are working on with .py ext of
course
Then ^$GetDocName()$ gets the name of the current file.
So the following will send the current file to the python interpretor

^!Set %PyFile%=^$GetDocName()$
^!Info ^$GetOutput(python ^%PyFile%)$

> Where is info on the function ^$getScriptPath()$

In the help file i hope.
Its just a folder in the ntab dir and is handy place to chuck your scripts,
it serves no other intrinsic purpose.

The active python distribution  comes with a active x  scripting engine
(Python AXScript Engine) which you can use to run pythonScript in the wsh.
Note the pys extension.

H=pysInHost
^!Set %PyFile%=^$getScriptPath()$testingWSH.pys
^!Toolbar new document
;a 2 line python script
import sys
WScript.Echo("python version", sys.version)
^!Save as ^%PyFile%
;run python script in wsh host and get output
^!INFO ^$GetOutput(cscript "^%PyFile%")$

No it can't, but using reg exp to extract a tables first col surnames in an
html doc is like using a chainsaw to cut butter.
In comparison it took me about 5 minutes to write that dom script to extract
the tables first collum data because it's the right tool for this job.
The dom provides an easy way to navigate text marked up with html or xhtml
or xml while Reg expressions are good at finding  patterns in the
unstructured text. They are not competing technologies but complementary.
Working with the dom I'm not pattern matching but working directly with the
documents structured objects.
the tables collection of rows and the first child of each row,  to get the
first td column.
Having extracted the first col, if I want to find all the 'parkers' in that
extracted data  then using reg ex is handy.

Hi Grant,

It's in there, but do you add the parenthesis for anything
special other than to keep Jody scratching his head? :)

I suppose I will have to break down and install my VBscript
stuff so I can try out your scripts.


Happy Clip'n!

Clint,

I saw your post, and have just been too busy to dig out a couple of
clips from Wayne (now I have some time). I find they are very
helpful. At the end are some
of my own creations. I have not had time to work with Java for a
long time, just playing mostly, so I cannot offer a lot of help with it.

I did learn how to do some things with other programming
languages, from these clips, that are fairly portable, but again,
mostly playing.

You'll have to joint the long lines that will probably get split

To edit a Quick List Directory group, the paths in the Quick List combobox, open
NoteTab's ini file (NotePro.ini or NoteTab.ini). Delete the lines you do not
want leaving no blank line in their place. You can use the DeleteLine clip for
this by placing your cursor on the line and clicking on the clip. Additional
line deletions can be done by placing your cursor on the line (or using your
Up/Down keys) and pressing "Ctrl+Space Bar".  Run the "Edit Directory List (Part

exclamation mark in from of it and restart NoteTab.  You can start the Clip

when I search for the "#" symbol it isn't found....

I'm sure there is something simple I'm missing here but I haven't

what's the newest version out there now?

It wasn't until I got done with the following that I thought I might share

writer writes clips.  A practicer practices.  That is what I am doing.  It
works good.

Hi all,
I am looking forward to putting my church's calendar
on-line----repeatedly, so I spent odd hours for a couple of weeks
creating a createacalendar clip.
It works well. At the moment, it cycles through each day of the month
and asks what is going on that day, which if fine once or twice but any
month with more days than two gets boring so I want to organize the
wizards differently, but it works from the years 1980 through 2030.
Including comments and html, it is 168 lines long, so I won't post it
here, but if anyone needs a calendar-maker or would like to check it out
and give me suggestions on how to make it better, email me
at:stephen@...
Thanks, Stephen

Wonded why my message popped up with a few days' delay... :(

I've been using Note Tab for a couple of years but I have only been
reading posts to this list for about a month. I've read enough to
figure out what Clips can do, but not how. Perhaps someone can help
design a clip for me? I could use a clip that would create a
subject/word index for html pages. Maybe a search engine would be
easier, but these HTML files are going to go into e-books, pdf, and
print publishing.

Open a file
	 What file do you want to search through? (Input filename)
Search the file for a word
	 What word do you want to search for? (Input word)
At every occurence of the word at an anchor tag, identified by a
unique name (add anchor tag and create name for anchor tag from the
word plus an incremental three digit number).
Save file

Create and index for word with link to anchor in a new file
	 Append to or create what file? (Input filename) Remember old
filename and search word.
Create a list with a link to each anchor on the page for the search
word in a format as follows:
	 searchword: 001, 002, 003, ...
or
	 searchword (001, 002, 003, ...)

Thanks for your help.

Does anyone know if there is an SGML to HTML and or XML converter about that
can be used from within NoteTab?

Hi, All and Jody.

This is is a question?. Yes, of course! :-)

How can I rename a file that I have open with the same name
but with new characteres append in the name of the file?

Example:
I want to rename the file Jody.txt to Jody010204.txt
I want to rename the file Jody.otl to Jody100204.txt

I want to add the date in format yymmdd at the end of the name the
file that I see in the windows and leave the same extension.

Mi idea is the next, but it's no good. Where it's wrong?

CodificaFile
^!Set %DocName%=^$GetDocName$
^!Toolbar Rename Document
^!Keyboard  RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT
^!Keyboard #^$GetDate(yymmdd)$#

Hi Luuk,

You can do XHTML.  See Options | HTML Files at the bottom.  That
effects the way the HTML features and Clipbooks work.

Also see the HTML features under the Modify main menu.

I just finished a script last might that will convert a whole
directory to lower or upper case or XHTML with a click and
choosing your options.  It will save to a new location so you
have a backup or you can put in the same folder for the save in
as the ones to be converted and it will overwrite those files.
I'll put it up on Snatch-A-Clip later today since it has some
long lines in it.

Happy Clip'n!

I changed your ^$GetDocName$ which returns the whole path to
what it is now.  It now returns only the filename without the
extention.  You want to add some more code to the keyboard line.

^!Keyboard #^%DocName%^$GetDate(yymmdd)$^$GetExt(^##)$#

You might look into ^!RenameFile.  You would get the information
you need, close the open file, Renamefile, and then open it (all
from a Clip of course.  It is better to stay away from keyboard
macros when you can do it using straight scripting code not
having to bring up windows that require input.

Happy Clip'n!

Manuel,

I approached your problem slightly different angle than Jody.  I used the Save
AS and then Destroy, because I couldn't get the Rename command to work for me.
This clip does work.  I tried to put in enough comments to explain what I was
doing/thinking.

Hope this helps

The Clip.......

^!Set %DocName%=^$GetDocName$

;Total size of name string
^!Set %Size%=^$StrSize("^%DocName%")$

;Finds the position of the period and trims the blank spaces
^!Set %ExtPos%=^$StrPosRight(".";"^%DocName%";False)$
^!Set %ExtPos%=^$StrTrim(^%ExtPos%)$

;Finds the size of the extension, helpful if you might have htm & html files.
^!Set %ExtSize%=^$Calc(^%Size%-^%ExtPos%)$

;Copies extension
^!Set %ExtType%=^$StrCopy("^%DocName%";^$Calc(^%ExtPos%+1)$;^%ExtSize%)$

;Copies Name
^!Set %Name%=^$StrCopyLeft("^%DocName%";^$Calc(^%ExtPos%-1)$)$

;Renames the document
^!Save AS ^%Name%^$GetDate(yymmdd)$.^%ExtType%

;Optional if you want to destroy the old document.  Rather than keep two copies.
^!DestroyDoc ^%DocName%

Don't you think or can't you get something like this to work with
the rest of the code?

^!Set %Current%=^##
^!Close ^%Current%
^!RenameFile "^%Current%" "^%Name%^$GetDate(yymmdd)$.^%ExtType%"
; ^!Delay 1 if needed
^!Open "^%Name%^$GetDate(yymmdd)$.^%ExtType%"

Jody,

I was reasonably sure that the problem was that I was trying to Rename without
closing the file.  However, my brain was to tired to explore that possibility. 
I also did
the with the Save AS, because if I (personally) would use dates in file names
when I wanted to be able to track/save changes.  I would then just need to
eliminate
the Destroy line.

Hi Elizabeth,

OK, I was just wondering.  I normally use Save As myself.  I just
said to use ^!Close because it made more sense to me that way.  I
was not suggesting that it wouldn't work.  I figured if you
renamed the file, the copy in NoteTab would not be in NoteTab.

I was able to rename a file while it was open, but when you close
it then it is not on the reopen list because it does not exist
anymore.

^!Renamefile "^##" "Whatever.txt"

Hi Andy,

>I've read enough to figure out what Clips can do, but not how.
>Perhaps someone can help design a clip for me?

What you want to do can be done.  Can you write any Clips at all?
It would take a bit of time to do what you want and I am not
quite sure if I have the time for it now.  I can tell you what
commands and functions I would use in the steps to do it if you
think you or somebody else (Hi Alan C.:) could take it from there.

Hi Jody, Andy,

> subject/word index for html pages. Maybe a search engine would be
> easier, but these HTML files are going to go into e-books, pdf, and

I'm interested try out my skills on it.  But just a bit busy lately.  Give
me some time, however long.  Several days probably iffy.  But a week perhaps
up to two.  Some time for it to evolve and pull together.

Well, Andy, I gather so far that the clip would need to

1. make that HTML index page.

but I also gather that the clip would

2. work with other html files by making anchors at the found words, found
from doing a search (^!Find)

and that the clip would also

3.  coordinate the index page's links with the links/anchors that exist on
the other pages

So, (for comparison purpose only), that the result of those three steps
above would be perhaps similar to a small web site.  Or it would be similar
to a help reference that comes with some software, the kind of help
reference that is all accomplished through the use of HTML.  An example
comes to mind, the help file that comes with Perl from www.activestate.com;
it is written entirely in html.

But the key difference would be that your index links to the other pages
with the ^!Find (words that were found) and their named and sequentially
numbered anchors on the outlying pages since yours is intended to be neither
a help file nor a web site. If I had a name for yours, it sounds like yours
be called a keyword search or reference system with an index that uses html
as the means to accomplish its end result.

Thanks.  Regards.  Alan.

I would like to count the number of times my program gies through a loop. I
tried the following line within the loop, but it does not work. Any ideas
about improving it?

^!Set %Counter%=^$Calc(x=x+1)$

Jody,

Perhaps I do not understand you, but does your routine convert from SGML to
XHTML, because that is precisely what I need. I have just been sent over 40
Mb of texts all in sgml (TEI 2.0) and browsers have all but disappeared from
the web (I tried for several days to locate one, all gone).

Luuk

bout an hour ago (22.30 GMT+1) I sent to mails to this group, none have so
far gone through. What is up?

Luuk
