Jesus. That is exactly how I pictured it. I love minimal and clean. Jesus. What kind of search are you talking about? I think the default options are best, part name, all brands.

Do you mind if I pass this around the office to other co-workers? What is your name so I can say, "my internet friend, <yourname>, made this for us!"

Glad it's what you need. The site could also search by description, and/or "starts with" but the default made the most sense for me. Definitely pass it around if others will find it's useful too.

It's just a simple console app but not much more is needed tbh.

Thanks so much! I'm sorry to bother you again, but I'm curious if you could make it read the names out of a text file I indicate. I do this about every three days and the groups stay constant each semester.

edit: ooh, and can you change the for (int i = 0; i < names.Count; i++) to start at i=1? I think that's how it works.

C arrays start at 0, so it should be fine. I started working on one in C++ for practice, but if you want it, I'll put it up when I'm done.

edit: I'm going out, so I'm not going to be finishing it for a bit, so it may be quicker just to wait for him to update it. I'll still post it if it's not up by when I'm back, though.

What I mean to say is that I'd rather have it give us the question numbers starting at #1 since humans usually don't count from 0. I'm not sure how this works as I don't have a cs background. Thanks!

Im looking for a simple gui program that I can create an html template with variables in. The program will allow me to add something like %link% to my template so I can quick change the page. Also the ability to add my or remove these variables from the program at will is needed.

You may be asking yourself why I would need something like this. Basically I use the same html template to post galleries in wordpress. So this would help me alot instead of using find/replace in notepad++

Here is a sample of what id like to do

code:

<!-- BEGIN POST -->
<div class="post_thumbs">
     <img src="images/%thumb1%" width="270" height="300" alt="%thumb1alt%" />
     <img src="images/%thumb2%" width="270" height="300" alt="%thumb2alt%" />
</div>
							
<br />
							
<div class="post_desc">
     %post_desc%
</div>
							
<br />
							
<div class="gal_button">

     <a href="%link%" title="View the full gallery">View Gallery</a>

</div>
<!-- END POST -->

Again I would need to be able to specify the original html template with variables. Have the ability to create or remove variables, output new html file with variables replaced with the content I entered in the gui. Right off hand I know I'll probably need the ability for about 20 variables right off the rip. Again thanks in advance guys.

EDIT: Also the ability to save templates I made as editable presets would be awesome too. Since alot of the things I post are basically the same only with minor edits as well.

DOUBLE EDIT: http://www.tinyappz.com/wiki/Request:1187378836 (note wiki code tags destroy my example formatting)

Just as a heads-up - I ended up writing a batch script for my needs (See http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?postid=331424405#post331424405 for my request). I also attempted to write a C# app, at first, but failed at the stage where I wanted to make the program function in any other way than just sitting there.

If someone would like to expand my C# form into a program, like the script I've written, that'd be awesome.

Pie Colony: Dec 8, 2006; I AM SUCH A FUCKUP THAT I CAN'T EVEN POST IN AN E/N THREAD I STARTED

It's been a while since I programmed anything, and I'm guessing this would be easier done with VB or something instead of C++, so I'll ask here.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could make me something like this:

* Program outputs the contents of a text file
* Runs in background/invisible until some hotkey (let's say, ctrl + tab, or whatever) is pressed, the same hotkey makes it invisible again after being pressed again
* Resizable border. For extra style points, light blue background with a darker blue 1 pixel border, but that's optional.

I'm gonna use this to keep track of poo poo I need to do, in case you're wondering.

Thank you very much this is what I am looking for. I do have a suggestion or two though. Is it possible for the result tab to show as full size of the window. Also scrollbars in the result window would be good. Other than that its perfect

Edit: Also I don't know if scroll bars in the result window would allow mouse wheel movement or not. Not important but would be appreciated.

Ok I have a suggestion. I see a pretty common thing .net apps don't have or allow. Would it be possible to allow me to maximize, minimize and restore the application? I don't know if .net has something against that or what, but it would be helpful.

EDIT: I see I can do this via the taskbar but not the main window. You don't have to add it, no big deal.

Slimchandi: May 13, 2005; That finger on your temple is the barrel of my raygun

I thought of an interesting idea for a small program to use with my Zen Stone. It's only a 1gig player, so I would like a program that I could use to upload random MP3s until it's full, with the option to delete the entire contents of the MP3 player when the program is first run. I guess it would only have to consist of specifying the drive (Zen is MSC), and then your music folder (ideally it would search down through folders already), and a checkbox to delete any music currently present. A rough text outline of the flow would be:

Run program
Select the directory for the Zen and the music directory.
Program deletes current content (optional)
Program searches entire folder tree
Program uploads songs at random from folder tree until the Zen is full.

Is this a simple enough project for tinyappz?

I would like to request an apllication that goes through an html document, and grabs out any urls in that document (anything starting with [url]http://[/url] or [url]https://;[/url] and then puts those urls on one line of a text file called 'bookmarks.dir' in the same folder as the application.

I've had a stab at this, it's in java, which was probably overkill, but hey,

Also, this is the first time I've distributed anything I've written, so I don't really know how well this will work on another computer/version of java

Download from: http://www.agib.co.uk/stuff/markmaker.exe

Run using

code:

markmaker.exe file.html

bookmarks.dir is then plonked into the same directory as the exe, any existing bookmarks.dir will be overwritten without warning,

Here's a quick script in perl that will do what you're asking:

code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

while ( <> )
{
  chomp;
  ( $match ) = m%<\s*a\s+href\s*=\s*"(https?:[^"]*)"%ig;
  print "$match\n" if ( $match );
}

Just save it as "links.pl" and run it as "./links.pl filename.htm > bookmarks.dir"

Most of the major IM providers can forward messages to your phone. I know it is possible with AIM.

Moreover, you may be able to manually do this with an email redirector. Most cell carriers have an email->text redirector. eg: 8005551212@vtext.com (verizon) will send a text message to handset 800-555-1212.

Ok, so my broadband connection can get pretty crappy at times, and I'd really like an app that I can run in the system tray, so I forget it's running, that will let me know when it went down and for how long. I guess the easiest way to do this would be to ping, say, google.com every 30 seconds or so, and then record the time and date into some kind of text file, when a couple of ping requests don't make it through, and then record when they started getting through again. If there's a simpler method, then that's cool.
