[Instructor]

You are welcome

[Instructor]

New: "FindInFile" only search in file without replacements
New: "ReplaceInFile" options:
    /AI=[1|0] -Copy attributes from the InputFile to OutputFile or not
    /AO=[0|1] -Change OutputFile attributes to normal before writting or not

Thanks for the great plugin Instructor!

I'm a bit confused to what the options are.

If AI is true, does that mean read/write/execute/other attributes of the InputFile will be kept the same when written out?

If AO is true, does it mean change attributes to some standard?

[Instructor]

If AI is true, does that mean read/write/execute/other attributes of the InputFile will be kept the same when written out?

Yes

If AO is true, does it mean change attributes to some standard?

/AO=0 - Don't change OutputFile attributes (error "-9" possible)
-9 can't open output file for writting

For example:
If "/AO=0" and OutputFile has read-only attribute, then error -9 will be returned.
If "/AO=1" and OutputFile has read-only attribute, then no error will be returned.

Thanks for the quick reply.

That clears things up!

Hi Instructor can i get the source code please

I'm taking C++ now. Actually this is first course, so i need something to practice, you know.

[Instructor]

Hi Instructor can i get the source code please

Archive contains binary and source code.

I didn't see it before....

[Instructor]

Fixed: Now plugin doesn't read all file if it is binary.
Updated: "StrFunc.h" to v1.7
Updated: "ConvFunc.h" to v1.7

Update from previous versions:
         - Insert line in script:
            !incl ude "TextReplace.nsh"
         - Replace:
            textrepl ace::FindInFile -> ${textreplace::FindInFile} ...
         - Replace:
            .r0 -> $0, .r1 -> $1 ... .R0 -> $R0, .R1 -> $R1 ...

"TextReplace" plugin v1.2

[zeeh3]

Instructor, there is a bug in the plugin that makes files bigger than 128 bytes readonly|hidden|system|archive|temporary|offline|not_content_indexed.

[Instructor]

Don't understand. If file size equal to 128 then after processing it attributes changed to readonly|hidden|system|archive|temporary|offline|not_content_indexed? And what plugin parameters you use?

[zeeh3]

Yes, I am just using TextReplaceTest.nsi that comes with the plugin. Attached are the input.txt and output.txt files and the exe.

[Instructor]

Fixed: Buffer overflow (thanks zeeh3)


"TextReplace" plugin v1.3

[Instructor]

Fixed: crash when using long string (> 1024) with 8192 special build (thanks zeeh3)

[Instructor]

[tinjaw]

Thank you very much. You plugin just saved me much valuable time.

[Instructor]

Changed: algorithm optimized - replacement speed increased.


"TextReplace" plugin v1.5

[Chunkster]

I am trying to replace one line of a text file with two lines, using TextReplace. The arrangement of info in the file looks something like this -


Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4

I am searching for "Line 3" and want to replace it with

Line 3a
Line 3b

for a final file arrangement that looks like -

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3a
Line 3b
Line 4

Here is the actual TextReplace line

${textreplace::ReplaceInFile} "$PROGRAMFILES\OpenOffice.org 2.4\share\dict\ooo\dictionary.lst" "$PROGRAMFILES\OpenOffice.org 2.4\share\dict\ooo\dictionary.lst" "THES en US th_en_US_v2" "THES en US th_en_US_v2 \r DICT en US en_US_OpenMedSpel \r" "/S=1" $0

This of course, does not produce the desired output. It looks like this

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3a \r Line 3b \r
Line 4

Any help with this problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

You mean the zlib/libpng license as stated on the License
