Harvey and Alan:

When I ask, "What does a "true" value for "wholeword" accomplish in string
functions?", it is because I don't follow the example Alan gave.  Also, I'm
not asking about the various synonyms for Boolean "True" or "False".

Please make up a clearer example of the use of the "strreplace" function
which shows how the result differs when the value of "wholeword"  is "1"
versus "0".

Thanks for your help,

Hi Ray,

I can't answer the query, I don't know what is criteria used, in
NoteTab, for determining between wholewords and strings within
words.  It surely is more complex than it sounds.

Most of the searching I do is not for discrete words, but parts
of other strings.

I generally make it a practice to always make that setting False,
0, no, regardless of what I'm searching for.

Hi Ray,

(apologies for no greeting last time, accidental)

>Please make up a clearer example of the use of the "strreplace" function
>which shows how the result differs when the value of "wholeword"  is "1"
>versus "0".

couple demo clips, would that help.  Each of the two clips has identical
(same) string which contains a total of six words.  In particular, theater
is just one of those six words.  Also, notice that "the" is replaced with
"cre".  And, most importantly of all, is the difference in outcome between
the two clips:  Each clip has the same identical string, but notice in the
output what either happens or does not happen to the word "theater".

To answer your question above: as in 1st clip, when value of wholeword is 1
it is then that, only certain words, only those words in the string that
stand independently are modified.

And, as in 2nd clip, when the value of wholeword is 0 it is then that both
independently standing words AND ALSO any occurrences from within any
larger, longer words that are also modified.

So, the difference has to do with whether or not any occurrence that comes
from within a larger/longer word gets modified or not.

Eric, Andrew - I'm crossing-posting this to both PowerTool Software list and
NoteTab-offTopic since I posted the original question on both.

I wanted to know how to strip attachments out of an email and recreate them
as a "free-standing" file.

Turns out its a piece of cake with PowerDesk - they have an Archive Option -
Decode Files ... All you have to do is select a range of .EML files - tell
it which  folder to but the attachments in and "Bob's your uncle" ALL DONE!

Now I'm motivated to write the clip to strip the attachments out of the
EML's (after decoding)  and stuff them back into the .DBX

With SEND KEY features in Clips the one-click clip will look something like:
(1) Specify (a) DBX file to MIME-Decode, (b) work-Folder for EML's, (c)
results-folder for files
(2) Check that OE is not running (still to figure out)
(3) Invoke DBXtract against (1a) - results in (1b)
(4) Invoke PowerDesk - Archive - Decode Wizard against (1b) results in (1c)
(5) Clip to run regular  expression against all files in (1b) results in
(1b)  REPLACE entire attachment by NULL (need to figure this out)
(6) Wakeup OE
(6) Clip to open EML's in (1b) that no longer contain the attachment (per
(5)) and save in (1a)

I love it when programs "play well" together ;--)

BTW:
The original DBX had 92 messages size=14.5 MB (compacted)
The EML folder had 92  messages size=12.8 MB
The decoded folder had 92 images size=2.8 MB (I haven't verified I got them
all yet though!)(a couple of file formats may not have been supported by
PowerDesk)

QUESTION - Does directory search-replace (see step (5)) support regular
expressions.

You got it right, Harvey, despite my inappropriate alphabetical
example. Thanks a lot. Had trouble with your script until I noticed
that the ^!AppendToFile line had indeed word-wrapped.

After I fixed that line, it worked brilliantly.

Thanks again.

I think you just half to set it again eg.
set %test% ThX hXavXns dXclarX
the variable will change because you reset it.

Hi Amitava,

Here are a couple of clips that should work. You can invoke them in a
couple of ways: 1. hit Escape and than type the first letter(s) of
the clip and hit ENTER, 2. CTRL+SPACE while the "Select Paragraph"-
clip is active; you'll get the choice to select Previous/Current or
Next paragraph...

Alternatively you could use a keyboard macro programme to run the
clip (I've don that before, but that is for yet another list, isn't
it, Jody?)

As stated on the other list the original clips searched for ^P^P.
Switched back to ^P may result in selecting an empty paragraph I
believe, but I don't have the time to elaborate on that...

Hope this helps,

Hugo

Hi Hrs,

This does do something and almost works, but it always jumps back into
Windows and presents the Save As box (the correct file is in fact
zipped but not saved).  This happens either if I do it manually or
with a clip such as:

^!Dos C:\pkzipw\pkzipw "C:\temp\test.zip" "C:\temp\test.txt"

Hi Mark,

Sorry for the delay in answering.  I think you may have better
luck if you use the following command line;

^!Shell C:\pkzipw\pkzipw.exe "C:\temp\test.zip"
"C:\temp\test.txt"

The command line in your message is at conflict.  Pkzipw.exe is a
windows program yet, you are trying to run it in DOS.

I tried this but it seems I must have some pkzipw options set up
wrong.  Try looking in your Windows\temp folder for any files you
have experimented with.  That's where pkzipw put my experiments,
after zipping.

I thought I might post my current version of this - if anyone's
interested.  I find it indispensable.  Thanks to Jorma and Elizabeth
for help with ^$StrReplace.

After much bafflement I've worked out that Jody's Noteback uses
OnClipboardChange event.  I'm new to this, but it looks so powerful
it's scary.  Perhaps there's a place for it here.

Error message when running ^!Dos command.

I have recently started to try running dos programs with NoteTab
clips.  I've never been able to get past this error message.

"This program cannot be run due to restrictions in effect on this
computer. Please contact your system administrator."

Since I'm the only one that uses this computer, and this is a
private computer, and have not consciously set up any
restrictions, does any one have an idea what the remedy for this
is.

I, very, rarely have need for using ^!Dos but it's part of clip
language and I would like it to work.

The ^$GetDosOutput$ functions work and I can run dos at any time,
in a box, or full screen, so it's a little irritating when trying
to run ^!Dos from a clip and not get past the error message.

They probably mean Bill Gates ;)

But seriously, I can't get output from dos commands like dir using
the GetDosOutput command. This used to work with earlier versions of
Notetab Pro, but now doesn't. I'm on Windows 95.

Hi hrs,

Thanks. I have a clumsy workaround - but it works:

^!Shell C:\pkzipw\pkzipw.exe C:\temp\test.zip C:\temp\test1.txt
C:\temp\test2.txt
^!Delay 15
;enter into Save As dialog box
^!Keyboard #C:\temp\testx.zip# ENTER

Funny thing is that C:\temp\test.zip is TOTALLY ignored.
Also
C:\temp\test1.txt is ignored if wrapped in double quotes
and
C:\temp\test2.txt is ignored if wrapped in double quotes.

Very odd.

I see Jody's Noteback clip uses
^!F:\Programs\WinZip\WinZip32.exe -min -a -en
^%ZipPath%^$StrLower("^$GetName(^##)$")$-otl.zip ^##

So perhaps it would be simplest for me to get WinZip instead of PKZip.

Mark

Then I have i tip for you. Notetab Pro fits nicely on floppy if you
compress the executable. My notetab.exe is 632 kB. That leaves enough space
on a floppy for support files and important libraries and even some clip bars.

Hi Everybody,

  I would like to be able to select or highlight
a variable in my clip, and then see what its value is.

I have tried highlighting the variable, and then
running this clip:

H="Info Variable"
^!Set %var1%=^$GetSelection$
;^!Info ^%var1%
;^!StatusShow ^%var1%
;^!SetDebug [On]

   (I have also tried those other lines coloned out.
I have tried seclecting only the variable name, and
tried including %'s and ^'s, all to no avail).

What is the best way to see a variable's value?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!


Thanks,

      Steve Adams

Hi Everybody,

  I know how to write a clip to view
a *particular* variable, but I want
to be able to see a variable's contents

the variable, and have the clip show me
its value.

Hi Steve,

I did not see what you tried before writing this, but it all
works as expected for me and the way you were trying.  Make sure
your test Clip has a value set in the set line.  I often put any
character into an ^!Info box so that I can see if my variable is
getting set in the case of where is THIS bug? In other words, I
have no idea and just checking what is going on. :)  I know we
have SetDebug, but it confuses me more than just using ^!Info
boxes at various points in my Clip.  A lot of the time O use the
variable without the caret, then = so I know where I am at in the
Clip and see what I am getting at that point like my ^!Prompt
below.

^!Info ^$GetSelection$
;
^!Set %Var1%=^$GetSelection$
^!Prompt %Var1% = ^%Var1%

Try this:

;======== Start ========
H="Info Variable"
^!Set %x%=Is this what you want?
^!Set %q%=The contents of q
^!Set %w%=The contents of w

^!Set %var1%=^$GetSelection$
^!Info ^%^%var1%%
; ^!StatusShow ^%var1%
;========= End =========

In a document, insert the following variable names:

=======
x
q
w
=======

Select one of the variable names (x, q, w) and launch the clip.

If you want to use it on the clip editor, you'll need to place a button on
a clipbar.
Just make sure you don't select the enclosing %%, only a variable name.

Your idea is interesting, but unfortunately, I cannot see any practical use
for it, since you cannot run two clips at the same time.

You can try doing it with a timer, but I somehow have the feeling that that
won't work.

Hi Everybody,

   I love to set bookmarks, but I hate to have
to tell it what number to assign. I want a clip
to assign the bookmark number automatically.
I wrote this clip to do that. It mostly does,
but after it sets bookmark #9, the next time it
doesn't do anything, then the next time it sets
#1, then skips #2, and sets #3.

This routine "works for me", but I would be pleased
if anyone could fix the logic that makes it stumble
after #9. (If you have time; not an emergency.)  8^)

Thanks,

search for the Main menu item and when found in Help, open that
section.  In this case you would have searched for Search Menu
(or plain Search and look for Search Menu in the lower half).  I
mention that being in the Find Tab of Help, but the Index tab
should land you in the same place.

Hi Lotta, Stephen, & Others,

If you install NoteTab Tiny using the custom install to a floppy
disk without installing any of the extras, never mind - that's
too much trouble! :)  Drag/drop the NoteTab.exe, NoteTab.ini
file, efomacro.dll (if you use Clips with keyboard shortcuts in
them) to floppy while holding the Ctrl down to Copy.  Run the exe
right off the floppy.  Now, from your hard drive installation,
drag/drop the Libraries you want into the Libraries folder on the
floppy.  You will now have a minimally install on the floppy
disk.  You can now run NoteTab directly from the floppy disk
without installing it on a hard drive and have some room to boot
for documents, etc.

The older laptops are very short on drive space.  I have not
looked at new ones, but there is probably plenty of room on them.
It also helps for the "traveling tech" so that he does not have
to install NoteTab onto a customers computer.

Ramon,

   That is exactly what I wanted. That is going to
be sooo handy.

Thank you,

Hello Steve,

Maybe you'll get some help with bookmarks in NoteTab 5, just now
you'll have to settle for TEN.

FROM NOTETAB HELP

^!SetBookmark n
Only NTP: sets a bookmark at the current cursor position. "n"
should be a value between 0 and 9.

^!GoToBookmark n
Only NTP: moves the cursor to the specified bookmark. "n" should
be a value between 0 and 9.
