When you drag a html file from the quicklist into another html file I always

Jody, et al,

In the case of my clip, as I said, I kind of stumbled onto the answer
via the process of trying many combinations.  It's all a matter of
getting the right sequence of commands, namely,  ^!ProgIniLoad and
^!ProgIniSave in the correct order and in the correct place.

With the current clip I built, I can immediately see the end result
saved in Notepro.ini.  I can program only one pair of data or I can
program 15 pairs of data, and see each result as it's written to the INI
file.

^!ProgIniLoad ^!ProgIniSave have always been a pain for me.  I
still end up doing it on a do it till it works basis it seems,
but the example in the SampleCode Library helps me.

Hi Peter,

Make a new clip, and with one line:

^!Info ^$CharToDec(^$GetSelection$)$


You can now get the ASCII value of any character by selecting it and
running the clip.

Hi,

I'd like to delete all empty lines in a document, but I
can't get it done. What I tried so far is this:

a) I used the ^!Replace command in regex mode and replaced "\n\n"
with "\n". What happens is that *all* lines in the document are
deleted (*hu*?).

b) I tested the content of the line. If it matches "" (nothing) then
I do a ^!DeleteLine and move on with ^!Jump +1. But this only works
for a single empty line so consecutive empty lines can only be
caught if I test again on content and skip the delete-command if the
line is not empty.

Phew. This again only works in a loop and since NoteTab doesn't know
looping (except the label-jumping) I'm lost in the mass of commands
and functions.

Could someone give me a hint how I can delete all empty lines in a
document without writing a huge script? I bet there's an easier way
to achieve what I am trying to do.

Thanks
Ralf

Hi Ralf,

The ^p token is used for CR/LF, a new line, so two of them
look for two lines with no data in between.

H=Remove Empty Lines
^!Replace "^p^p" >> "^p" WAS
^!IfError Next else Skip_-1

Well, I did it.

I hope some of you will try it. In addition to having Perl installed,
you will probably need to install at least one package/module (Config-

Sheri,

Very nice! I dug out my SAMS, "Teach Yourself Perl in 24 Hours" and have
been reviewing it in light of the recent Perl discussions. The Perltk really
intrigued me. I have not had time to do anything of my own yet. We just
moved a week ago Saturday, and I just got over the flu. Too many boxes to
worry about, etc. My family insists on using the items packed in all these
boxes, oh well!

One suggestion, when the Global option is checked is is supposed to do all
documents? I would hesitate to default that to on, just in case.

Hi Sheri,

Interesting idea to: from Perl, specifically from your sub routine named
SaveVariables, call (via commandline) the NoteTab clip that then runs the perl
on the current document.

It all seems to work pretty well.  Performs rather quick on a not too large doc.

So, you wrote a software application that integrates with NoteTab. 
Congratulations!  There's power to be had with Perl.

You're over my head with the Perl stuff at this point.  I'm just begin to get
into array and hash let alone your reference, object oriented, namespaces,
scalability that Perl has, and whatever else

Does it write to disk/ini each time the replace button is clicked?  Or does it
only write it if the value(s) have changed from the last button click?

Mostly just merely comments follow--no reply needed, ignore portions or all of
them if you choose.

A lot of if elseif if if in a row in that one sub. dunno, but my teacher might
recommend a switching or emulated case statement instead (not that it needs be
changed--it works good and there's more than one way to do it--teach's reason
probly or might be the self documenting code sort of thing--ease 4 a different
programmer to step right into, access your code

Your code works very good. A bit hard to follow though (what does it do along
the way) without pseudo code

It's rather efficient with my system resources, that's cool, very cool!

Took me a moment to catch on to click the taskbar minimizes the dialog

Probably capability of, in addition to works on current doc, a replace in files
feature and a word boundary feature.  While I'm at it: a perl/tk visual
displayer feature so as to: in a tk widget, display the text and searched for
words, the searched for words show up highlighted in color (bright yellow)--the
Vim or Gvim editor has such a feature.

I see you made your own dialog instead of using tk::searchdialog module.

In addition to Config::IniFiles module that I'd previously installed, I also
needed to install Win32::API module.  Win 2k latest build of ActiveState Perl
5.61 (not yet the Perl 5.8 -- I need more round toits every day).  dunno if W2k
any different default module(s) than your OS.

I wish I had more time.  I want to learn Perl/Tk when I the time.  My Linux/Unix
class going well--after month or two gets into basics of C programming and some
Perl

I can only handle so much learning at once.  If I attempt too much all at once I
get fragmented.

Hi Larry,

I definitely empathize, I'm almost over something that has lasted nearly two
weeks. Perl in "24 hours"? LOL. SAMS also has a 3 week teaching book.

>One suggestion, when the Global option is checked is is supposed to do all
>documents? I would hesitate to default that to on, just in case.

The global option is just the regexp global modifier. If unchecked, only the
first matched text within each unit is replaced. Might want to play with the
different settings to learn how they work. Make a document that looks like this:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


Now try replacing "a" with "z". Without global checked, only the first "a" per
line (using "Lines") will be changed. Using Paragraphs, only the first per
paragraph. Using Entire File, only the first in the file. But with global
checked, all "a"'s should change to "z"'s regardless of Unit.

At this point the process only operates on the current document, so have no
fear.

Regards,
Sheri

You always say that. I'm not over your head, I just persisted until it worked.
The subs are pretty similar, reading from or writing to the ini file. Some
things, like getting it to run on top and use an icon, came from searching
Google groups.


>Does it write to disk/ini each time the replace button is clicked?  Or does it
only write it if the value(s) have changed from the last button click?

Yes, it writes it every time. The trigger event is clicking the Replace button.
I'm not sure how I would detect if there has actually been a change in values. I
guess if it were worthwhile, I could retrieve the ini values and compare them
before deciding to update. But then I would have to declare a whole 'nother
bunch of variables. It could probably be done efficiently using arrays, but as
you've probably noticed, I've not tried to economize on lines lol.

>Mostly just merely comments follow--no reply needed, ignore portions or all of

Actually I appreciate your observations.

I'm painfully aware there were better ways to structure things if I really knew
what I was doing. hehehe. I think use of if - elsif (doesn't work spelled with
an e) is the tip of the iceberg. Hey at least I didn't use Goto's <g>. That
would have been my personal preference <G>, more like clipcode.

This is good to know. I never had a problem with resources while using it, but I
didn't run any utilities to check resources either. Sometimes the TK dialog
didn't pop up as fast as I'd like, but probably only the first time accessed in
a session.

>Took me a moment to catch on to click the taskbar minimizes the dialog

Do you mean, to keep it running constantly, or just to get it out of the way?
Also has a Windows style minimize button. Neat, when you alt


>Probably capability of, in addition to works on current doc, a replace in files

Replacing in all open files would be a simple matter. Bring up my own editor
window highlighting changes? Sigh. Makes me tired just thinking about trying to
figure that out. BTW, when changing in a Notetab outline, "Entire File" is only
the current topic.


>I see you made your own dialog instead of using tk::searchdialog module.

Yes, and here's a little secret: I used this guy's http://www.alex-adam.de/
visual tool to lay out the widgets. TK::Searchdialog is uses a dialog widget.
Dialog widgets can't be packed into a Main Window. They need to be called from
some other menu or button, which didn't suit our purpose.

>In addition to Config::IniFiles module that I'd previously installed, I also

5.61 (not yet the Perl 5.8 -- I need more round toits every day).  dunno if W2k

Hmmn. I hope everyone who needs it knows now how to get it. Use of the API is
what allows the "dialog" to run on-top. Folks, run PPM search API to see the
exact name of the installable module. Then PPM Install Win32-API

BTW, I discovered an alternate Perl Gui besides TK called Win32::GUI. Its
controls are more Windows-style. I might have discarded TK and tried to use it,
except that I couldn't troubleshoot some textual problems with it. For example,
I put made a text label, that had the letter "p" in it and couldn't see the
descending part of the "p".

I stumbled over many parts of my TK and (normal) Perl. I didn't think I'd ever
figure out how to tell what was selected in the listboxes. I understand Perl
"references" in theory but find it very difficult to put them into practice. I
also had a lot of trouble with the static perl script. Variables are fine for
Search and Replace texts, but not for Regexp modifiers (g - global and i - case
insensitive). Had to use Eval, check it out.

I'm glad its all finally working. I don't like to give up, so I just kept
plugging away at it, and have ignored more important things I need to deal with.
When I get ambitious again, I may try to allow for naming and saving searches
through the dialog, and loading a named search. I would do it with different
section names in the ini. I can see it now, a scrollable combo box showing the
section names from the ini ...

I never did figure out how to put a scrollbar under the entry boxes. I'm
thankful you can scroll by dragging in the fields.

Sheri

Sorry, got distracted and didn't finish the sentence. Meant to say, when you

Hi Sheri,

Thank you! for sharing your accomplishment.  It's useful and it'll also help my
understanding as I (slowly) learn higher levels of Perl.

>Hey at least I didn't use Goto's <g>. That would have been my personal
preference <G>, more like clipcode.

Likely you already know that Perl will let you do it that way.

I think that some languages are meant for one kind of structuring (goto) while
other languages are meant for structured programming (without using goto)

Yes it still somewhat (to say the least) confuses me to think structured
programming (loop is a native thing to a block of code) seems to help to think
in levels ie top level and further down level(s) whereby only if certain
conditions are met does processing occur in the further down level(s) then it
comes back up and out of there ultimately gravitating upward and outward (but
down a level(s) again only if needed to do so) and upward and outward towards
the end of script where no more code exists. (almost not unlike a maze in
certain ways) when the script is running it seeks its way out to the end but
it's forced to route and process along the way

>>Took me a moment to catch on to click the taskbar minimizes the dialog
>
>Do you mean, to keep it running constantly, or just to get it out of the way?

The latter.  I run 800 X 600 screen resolution I found the dialog a bit large. 
So, to see Ntab text, I minimized the dialog.  I might prefer it to not stay on
top

> Also has a Windows style minimize button. Neat, when you alt

As you said, alt + tab.  I like the icon!  Cool icon.

>Replacing in all open files would be a simple matter. Bring up my own editor
window highlighting changes? Sigh. Makes me tired just thinking about trying to
figure that out.

I didn't mean to wish it on you.  What I meant was that if I were to bet on it
as to whether or not Perl/Tk has such ability, I would place my bet that yes it
does and to do so without relying on any certain editor.  I see highlighted or
set off by being colored found words as useful--can visual scroll to see what,
how much and where they occur in a doc.  But I mostly forgot how to use Gvim and
certainly haven't used its search highight for long long time--but it can yellow
color each and every found word in a doc which I think be useful

My query readout hadn't looked like yours which is the reason I installed
win32::api module

But i just query net::smtp turned up nothing so as to lead me believe I'd need
install it.  But then I did perldoc net/smtp and voilla up comes the doc which
means it's installed.  And I looked in site\lib and there it is in the net
folder, SMTP.pm

I still don't know how to determine all (Perl) packages currently installed. 
Maybe i do--that is, just search my hard drive for *.pm  since I guess a .pm is
a Perl Module or at least it's a file for a Perl module.

Ok, i see a bit more on how your latest works.  I see the RunStaticPerlRepl.pl
clip runs the last or former instance of what I had replaced.  And that it pulls
values from the ini then runs it on current doc.

(If a person didn't need the visual tk dialog to show) I guess if a person
wanted to they could create a Ntab clip wizard that would set their search items
and options, save those to ini then have the RunStaticPerlRepl.pl clip run

>Variables are fine for Search and Replace texts, but not for Regexp modifiers
(g - global and i - case insensitive). Had to use Eval, check it out.

Hmm, I didn't know that.  So, a scalar variable works in the match or
substitution operator but not outside of it such as you say, in the "option".  I
saw your eval.  perldoc -f eval   i guess it sort of forces the processing to
happen and can trap error as well- the doc on it be deeper than I currently had
time for.

>you can scroll by dragging in the fields.

I got lost there on that one.

I'm sure that this script has already been done by someone and I don't want to
re-invent the wheel. I want to be able to strip out images and/ or tables from
web pages but otherwise leave text formatting intact.
Can somebody point me in the right direction?

You're more sure than I am rdeckard1! LOL

I strip tags all the time and for me it's either everything or nothing..

I'm not saying what you want to do can't be done, I'm just saying it's not a
request for a clip I've ever seen before...

You can use this:

H="tag buster"
^!Replace "</*^?[What tag?=_FONT|I][^>]*>" >> "^?[Replace with?=]" IRWA

Leave the "replace with" part blank and it's gonesville for the chosen tag.

You can add more tags into the list but it doesn't matter since you can also
enter any tag in the text box.

This clip takes out both opening and closing tags, regardless of what
name/value pairs are present in the opening tag.

The same line works for both opening and closing tags, so will work for
so-called "empty" elements such as images as well.

Hi
If I make a mistake in the quicklist say d:\html\midi\*.clb or wish to
remove entries from the quicklist the only way is to edit the ini , the only
problem is the ini does not update tilll you close nts I have tried the
clips below partial success but I still can not udate the [directory list]
in the ini ,What am I missing ???
H="NTSIni Edit"
^!Open ^$GetAppPath$Notetab.ini
^!find "[DirectoryList]" S
^!SET %ROW%=^$GetRowStart$
^!DELAY 1
^!SetView ^%ROW%:1

H="NTS.Ini Save"
^!save as !Notetab.ini

H="NTS Load"
^!ProgIniLoad Notetab.ini

     THANKYOU    DAVE

As I understand it, it only reads the ini when the program is first started.
I am not aware of a way to make NoteTab read the ini without a re-start.

I believe some have gotten around this with clips that start a new instance
of NoteTab and close the current instance.

Hi Larry, Dave,

>As I understand it, it only reads the ini when the program is first started.

I think ^!ProgIniLoad is supposed  to force a current read of the ini except for
the autoload section.  help > help on clip programming > index tab >
^!ProgIniLoad

But I can't get it to work with DirectoryList section of ini.  Just a week or
two ago, Sheri had it working very nicely with the SearchFiles:ReplaceList_1 
section or portion of the ini

^!SetIniFile
^!ProgIniSave
^!SaveValue DirectoryList:Specs_3=D:\files\ntbdocs\*.txt;*.otl
^!ProgIniLoad

(unless DirectoryList is excepted perhaps xtra colon in filepath won't accept or
something) That above code should accordingly change and save my Specs_3 line
that's immediately below this paragraph and then force a read of the new disk
value.  But it's not doing it.

[DirectoryList]
SpecsCount=4
Specs_1="d:\programs\notetab pro\documents\*.txt"
Specs_2="files_of_mine"
Specs_3="d:\files\*.*"
Specs_4="d:\files\ntbdocs\*.*"

BTW on my Win 2k machine, Specs_2="files_of_mine" shows all text (*.txt) files
that are on my desktop.  Surprise to me how about that one!  Did I discover a
hidden Easter Egg so to speak?

Larry, David and Alan,

It's been a long time since I've used Notetab Standard, or, in my case,
SuperNoteTab.  That was way back when I wasn't real sure what  clips or
clip language was about.

Does Standard read and write to inifiles differently than NTPro.  If
not,  you can write changes to the notepro/notetab ini file and then see
them in the file when you load it, or, reload it, whichever the case.

The clip below demonstrates writing to, and reading, the ini file
without the necessity of closing NoteTab.

My comments may not be entirely accurate but after many attempts these
actions seem to function as I comment.

I usually have UAS with a clipcode shorthand library active.  I did
notice that on one occasion I had to toggle UAS off, then, back on for
clip to work correctly.

Other than that, and it may have been a coincidence, there was no
problem with the clip function.

The line that sets 2 variables, a single line, is, I think, the only
line long enough to give a problem with email wrapping, check others to
be sure.

Well, that shows how much I use this option. ;-)

I have many clips that check and change some ini parameters, but occasionally a
manual ini edit is required.  Any time I need to do that I close NoteTab and use
a different text editor to edit it.

and then moves to the next line into the same 3 variables , small portion
below , any help would be appreciated ??
     THANKYOU    DAVE in aus.

Dave,

Could you please rephrase the question? It is not clear what you are
trying to do...

Hi David,

To process a file line by line:

^!Jump Doc_Start
^!SetWordWrap Off
:Loop
^!Select EOL
^!Set %var1%="^$GetSelection$"
;more processing
^!Jump +1
^!If ^$GetRow$=^$GetLineCount$ Out
^!Goto Loop
:Out

If you needed to put part of the line into one variable and part into another,
you could do that any number of ways, e.g., use string functions based on the
whole line or
use a combination of commands designed to highlight the desired parts of the
line one at a time (instead of ^!Select EOL).

Hope it helps,
Sheri
