TBP API - need help!
Hello TBDEV. ..Can anybody explain me the context and interface for the functions in a plugin (well, I try to guess something myself): function TBP_GetStatus: Integer; stdcall; function TBP_NeedConfig: Integer; stdcall; function TBP_NeedCOM: Integer; stdcall; function TBP_Setup: Integer; stdcall; ...So, here do my questions begin: what is the meaning of every of this functions? As I guess it must return zero if all is right. How other results are interpreted? Just as non-zero, or an exact value is also important? And also what is the algorithm when The Bat! receives, for example TBP_NeedConfig=0? Does it mean that in this case the TBP_Setup will be called as the next function? -- Sincerely, :/+--\ : : / | ) A L E X E Y : : /--|--( : : / | ) V I N O G R A D O V : : -/- +--/ : :..: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.62 | Using TBDEV information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re[2]: Regular expressions in AntiSpam: is it possible?
Hello, Task. You wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TC En relación a lo que Alexey en su momento posteó: TC send the algoritm of your idea and i will make it! ANV...is it possible to use the regular expression machine from ANVTne Bat! in a custom antispam filter?.. I think this is not necessary now at all! I found the reference and ready realization on http://www.pcre.org/ (as the pcre.dll, size 48kB). If you want, you can also use it! It makes a life much more easy :). I think that The Bat uses the same one but statically linked... If it is possible to ask the developers to use this library as dynamically linked (i.e. as DLL file), then it would be possibly to use in a custom plugin without specially deploying the dll. -- Sincerely, Alexey.

Re[4]: Regular expressions in AntiSpam: is it possible?
Hello, Task. You wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TC and I don't undertand: what are you thinking men please, explain TC you. TC first question: what is a regular expression. Well, the simplest example: you can see my letter-prefix: You wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. This is generated automatically by template using regular expression. Any letter contain ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED]. You need to insert the mid:; into the angle brackets. It realized by just one line in the answer template: %SetPattRegExp=\(.*)\ You wrote in mid:%RegExpMatch=%OMSGID; The pattern for regular expression is \(.*)\. The first \ and the last \ simple mean and . Phrase in parentheses (.*) means the very subsrting which will be returned as a result. Inside the phrase: . called 'atom' and means any symbol, * called 'quantifier', is attached to . and means previous atom any times, so .* means some symbols. By applying this whole regexp pattern to a string enclosed in angle brackets, like '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' you'll get the string without brackets, ie. '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' because the brackets in the pattern are outside the parentheses. So the macros defines the pattern '\(.*)\' by %SetPattRegExp, then applies it to message ID by %RegExpMatch='%OMSGID' and then places the result between You wrote in mid:; and . ...just few more examples: ...if you have to find 'elephant' in a letter, you just need to define appropriate pattern for recognizing by it different variants (let me treat non-empty result as 'true' and empty string as 'false') '\belephant\b'FALSE for 'my elephant red' and TRUE for 'telephantom' '\Belephant\B'TRUE for 'my elephant red' and FALSE for 'telephantom' '\W(elephant)\W' TRUE for '$elephant#' and FALSE for '3elephants', 's elephant df' 'e\s+l\s+e\s+p\s+h\s+a\s+n\s+t' (the \s+ between every letters) TRUE for 'elephant' and 'e l e ph a nt' '(?s)e\.?l\.?e\.?p\.?h\.?a\.?n\.?t' (the \.? between every letters) TRUE for 'elephant', 'e.l.e.p.h.a.n.t' and 'e l p h a n t' So, if you need to filter any specific variant you mus just construct the regexp from your signal word by adding to it prefix and/or suffix and (if necessary) by inserting something between letters. That us take a line for search, for example our 'elephant'. We can test a text for the line by two steps: 1. Construct a regexp pattern from signal line: - for 'partial search' - leave the line: 'elephant' -- 'elephant' (no change) - for 'wholeword search', add '\b' before and after line; 'elephant' -- '\belephant\b' - for 'space-delimited search', add '\s+' between letters 'elephant' -- 'e\s+l\s+e\s+p\s+h\s+a\s+n\s+t' - for any other phantasy - just learn how to make appropriate regexp. 2. Just apply constructed pattern to a target text by calling pcre.dll. That's all! TC we can make a plug'in that call a dll, and use the dll in the bat! I meant that The Bat! is already uses regular expressions! And if I understand clear, it uses the same pcre.dll, but it is statically linked into TheBat.exe (I think that Stefan Tanurkov knows it better :) My point was if Tha Bat! developers make the library accessible for sharing then it would not be necessary for 'outsiders' to deploy an extra copy of the library with their plugins. -- Sincerely, Alexey.

Baesyan filter - WORKING test pre-release
Hello, Mark. You wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] MW Alexey- MW What kind of error are you getting? Is your plugin not showing up in MW the list of available plugins or are you getting an error on selecting MW it? I'm assuming that use dynamic RTL is unchecked in the Linker MW settings. I think that's the only setting I changed on my setup except MW to make sure the Target file extension is set to tbp. MW -Mark Wieder MW Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/7 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 I have already localized this problem. It was the subsequence of so-called name decoration. With one option it generate one names, with other - others. The Bat! needs exactly named functions in TBP - like TBP_GetSpamScore but not __TBP_GetSpamScore as it generated according to C-decoration. First, I recompiled all plugin in MS Visual C++ V6 SP4. It was the simplest task because the plugin written in ANSI C++. Then I investigated MSDN on name decoration. And finally added .def file with exact names: LIBRARY vsbaesyan EXPORTS TBP_Initialize @1 TBP_NeedConfig @2 TBP_GetName @3 TBP_GetVersion @4 TBP_GetStatus @5 TBP_GetSpamScore@6 TBP_Setup @7 TBP_Finalize@8 TBP_NeedCOM @9 Now all is working. By using MS Visual Studio I also solved the problem with run-time libraries at all. Compiled version includes all what necessary. And this library takes only 274kb versus 854kb when I compiled it by C++ Builder. After compressing with ASPack it became 131kb - only 3kb more than previous one WITHOUT runtimes. Previous version (which needs libraries) still exist at http://klirik.narod.ru/arc/baesyan.tbp (125kb) NEW tester's build is avaliable at http://klirik.narod.ru/arc/vsbaesyan.tbp (128kb) This last one I ask you (and everybody who reads this posting) to test.

Re[2]: Baesyan filter - WORKING test pre-release
Hello, Kjartan. You wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] KÁ I tried using both versions of your plugin. KÁ When I tried to install the first one (build using C++ builder) I got KÁ error message telling me it couldnt find CC3260.DLL. I assume this DLL KÁ comes with C++ Builder and is not statically linked to the plugin. KÁ Anyhow. I tried the second version, which you compiled with VS. When i KÁ load that one The Bat starts taking up more and more memory. I killed KÁ it when it was consuming 400 MB in RAM (and still growing). KÁ My regard.rbd file is around 1 MB in size. I built it using ~3000 KÁ spam mails and ~5000 real mails. KÁ Any idea what may be wrong? It's sounds strange... :(. But my mail corpus is more humble - I have only 700 letters of spam and 1000 of non-spam. My regard.rbd contains about 2 key tokens and takes around 400KB. I tried it on Windows XP and Windows 98. In both cases all was o'key. The first thing I think can be probed is to make smaller regard.rbd. Can you make new rgd - with parameters like my own has - and try it again? If all will be right then I will work on direction of memory using. If all will go wrong I would like to have you regard.rbd to touch it. Second guess - may be it happens because of different locales. In this case I will provide default options for it in release. Now plugin (and regard base machine) depends (silently) also from the tables XLT which I looked for in HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat!\XLT. Third, I also found one fantom error which arises from time to time during mail checking. The error is that sometimes regarder method in GetSpamScore does'nt be called or arise an error. I see in log that all is right just to the moment of mail checking itself. Then in some cases function is just stops and no regarding is returning. Fourth - may be because of log-system itself. I use a simpliest way - just create an instance of ostringstream at the TBInitialize and append it to file in TBFinalize. If during work some eternal loop arises (simple no guesses where it can be) it just fill the memory by junk logs. In this case it can be good to turn log system off (just for testing purposes). To try last guess I maked a compilation without log system at all. (And so it does not create or require c:\baesyan\baesyan.log at all). Also I maked a compilation with very big log - it just logs all what happens and it can help in locating of exact place where an error occured.

Re[2]: Baesyan filter - WORKING test pre-release
Hello, Kjartan. You wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ANV It's sounds strange... :(. But my mail corpus is more humble - I have ANV only 700 letters of spam and 1000 of non-spam. My regard.rbd contains ANV about 2 key tokens and takes around 400KB. I tried it on Windows ANV XP and Windows 98. In both cases all was o'key. KÁ I did build a new regard file with ~200 spam mails and ~200 non spam KÁ mails. The new regard.rdb file is around 100KB in size. KÁ This gave the same result as before. The Bat! started to consume more KÁ and more memory until i killed it. KÁ Then I tried both of the new builds of the plugin you gave me (the one KÁ w/o writing to log, and the other one which wrote alot of information KÁ to the log file). KÁ Both of the new builds failed the same way. KÁ Another observation is that there is no log file created, so the KÁ plugin must be failing before it tries to write the log file. No, it can't. The log file is checked only when you finish your work in The Bat! In no-log version it does'nt exist at all. If you say that it doesn't work in other cases than it can't be a problem with logfile. My only guess is a bug which I described in describing the learning machine - with quantity of tokens. Because of it you can build wrong file with negative quantity - which regarded as very-very big positive number. Then TBP_Initialize will try to read this huge number of tokens... Of course I corrected this bug and you can try to build regard.rbd again by updated: http://klirik.narod.ru/arc/baesyan.exe (286KB) If it doesn't help, I want to ask you two things. At first, when exactly the problem arises? Variants is: 1. It happens when you try to install the plugin into The Bat! In this case The Bat! calls the critical functions of the plugin in next order: 1. TBP_Initialize (critical - opens and reads regard.rbd) 2. TBP_GetStatus (non-critical) 3. TBP_NeedConfig (non-critical - just stub always returned 0) if NeedConfig returns wrong (-1) then 3a. TBP_Setup (non-critical - never called because of TBP_NeedConfig) 4. Two times TBP_GetName (non-critical) 5. Two times TBP_GetVersion (non-critical) So, if problem arises when you only try to install the plugin than the only place where it can occur is TBP_Initialize. It can be because of wrong regard.rbd. In this case I need you regard.rbd to touch. Can you, please, send it to me? 2. Plugin is installed correctly and show himself in The Bat!. The problem arises when you receive a letter - and real filtering actually needed. In this case the critical section is TBP_GetSpamScore. 3. The problem arises when exiting The Bat!. Theoretically it can be because of log. Theoretically - because if opening of logfile is fail then the plugin doesn't try to write into it. In attachment - real log created when I receive this your letter and one spam. KÁ My system is Windows XP with all service packs applied and with all, KÁ except the very latest, critical updates applied. KÁ Best regards, KÁ Kjartan -- Sincerely, Alexey.

Re: problems with bayesian filter
Hello, rhabib001. You wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ryc Hello. I've downloaded the new bayesian spam filter (the detailed ryc logging version) and the machine generating engine (updated version) ryc and have created a regard.rbd file and placed it in c:\baesyan. The ryc log file is generated correctly, however, no incoming emails seem to ryc get filtered. I have attached the log file in case this can be ryc informative. Thank's to your attention!

If any of them includes a spam then the really problem is in your regarding base - either you confused spam and non-spam corpuses when you create your regarding base, either your regarding base is not enough yet. But first two of them seems to be the letters from The Bat! conference, so, it isn't a spam. The rest of regarded letters, as I say, is my error, and I am working to fix it. ryc Also, how is the junk folder created. Does it have to be created ryc manually and a flag set to identify it as the junk folder or will it ryc be created automatically the first time an email is classified as ryc junk? Yes.

Baesyan filter - bug fixed (still test pre-release!)
Hello, tbdev. One bug has been fixed in filter baesyan. The bug was that if a letter contain token consists whole from ! then during degeneration an error occured and the filter failed. So, any letter includes this kind of tokens seemed to be non-spam because of this fail. Fixed version you can download here: http://klirik.narod.ru/arc/baesnolog.tbp http://klirik.narod.ru/arc/baes.tbp (I still recommend you to use last (logged) version to send me a log if any bug arises). For this moment no other serious errors found. In my own testing: since the first build I received 92 spam letters and about 25 non-spam (understand now, why I began to write the filter :). From these letters I has no false positives (i.e. none of my good mail was accidentally deleted as spam) and 1 false negative (i.e. one spam letter came to my mailbox). Also it were about 10 false positives raised because of the just fixed bug. I refiltered these letters after now and all of them were regarded as spam. So, total effectivity (for the moment) is: 0% (0 of 25) false positives and 1.1%(1 of 92) false negative. I use the regarding base of 650 spam and about 800 non-spam letters. In future: 1. New rbd-generating engine (principle is same, but will be changed user interface and some options added). Also it seems to be good to automatically recognize and do something with PGP- or S-MIME- encrypted messages - throw them at all or at least keep them as hash values due to reduce a dictionary. 2. Filter settings will be stored in the registry. Or - I found that if TBP_NeedConfig returns -1 then The Bat! himself adds a section [Filterdata] in TBPlugin.INI. Now this section is empty but I think in future The Bat! developers will give a possibility to store a settings locally for every mailbox (in registry it will be global settings). 3. Adapt rbd-generating to other mailbase formats - because as I know SecureBat is also exist and has his mailbases encrypted. This problem for this very program can be solved by other mailbase imported formats, for example, unix-mailbox. 4. Self-training feature. Now I guess it can be like a question to a user after every 50 received letters (for example) with asking him to confirm the grade of all letters - or, as a case - to confirm only questionable letters automatically regarded in some definite interval of spaminess (21-80% for example). After that new grade will be appended to regard.rbd. So, the base will be always fresh and it wouldn't be necessary to use rbd-generating engine to refresh it. This is my own ideas. If anyone else has some? -- Sincerely, Alexey.

Re[2]: problems with bayesian filter
Hello, rhabib001. You wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ryc One thing I don't understand about the log is that if multiple ryc messages are downloaded, the log doesn't reflect this. Is this a bug? As I understand myself, The Bat can call multiple instances of filtering procedure in a time. For this reason it give to every call a number, usually begins from 1001. By this reason I write into log also this unique number (it is unique in the bounds of current The Bat! session). You can see this numbers in the beginning of every line logged during mailcheck. And there are no such lines for global plugin functions like getname or getversion. Your log has combined the logs of first version and last, so there are no such numbers at all at the beginning of the log. If any of them includes a spam then the really problem is in your regarding base - either you confused spam and non-spam corpuses when you create your regarding base, either your regarding base is not enough yet. ryc I have trained the good dictionary on 745 letters, but the spam ryc dictionary on only 35 letters. Could this be the problem (I have ryc attached the regard.rdb file). This is the feature of method itself - you can investigate it from mathematically viewpoint - the numbers of spam and non-spam base (counted in letters) ought to be equal. Simple speaking, your base very well known what is not-spam, but has a relative hazy idea of what is spam. You need more spam to work, - but this is total problem with this method of filtering! You can, of course, download somewhere a base with spam, but the problem is that in different countries spam is different. Main grain of this method is that all user's regarding bases are different, because their grades includes also knowledge of concrete private user mail. So, it is very hard for spammers to cheat many of such filters simultaneously. From the other hand, spam base seems not to be such different from user to user, because spam is a mass mailing. So you can ask a friend to send you many (real) spam and make a better base. Or you can just take some good letters and make a new base with relatively equal quantity of spam and non-spam. -- Sincerely, Alexey.

Re: A bug in BayesIt! 0.3a
Hello, Prezes. You wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] P Hello TBDEV list, P I use BayesIt! 0.3a. I installed the filter in directory C:\Programy\The P Bat!\baesyan\. Unfortunately the filter often return error, which I send in P attachement. This is not error! The BayesIt manager stores in the registry the path, where from you run it. This path is necessary when later BayesIt! will ask you to start manual training now. So, if you have two copies of learnengine.exe in different places, it just ask you which one to use for manual training. P The second error is: I received for example 10 letters, I close The Bat!, run P learningengine.exe and the learningengine show, that in bank is for example 4 P letter - in index.txt is 4 mails logged, but in baesyan.log is 10 letters. P What is this? This error introduced when I change Autostart manualy training P process to 15 letters. When it is 229 the error not exist. This mean that the rest 6 letters were autotrained. So, it is no more necessary to ask you about them. The number 15 which you set means, than when it will be more than 15 letters still untrained in the bank, the filter itself will ask you to start manual training (and if you confirm it, it will itself run learnengine.exe from the path described in previous question). So, because autotraining is very effective, this number of untrained letters will grow very slow. The example you give - is not usual. Usually when I receive about 50 letters, only 1 or 2 still be untrained and need to be trained manually. The limit of 10 untrained letters before manual training in my case usually fills during week or more. May be, that initial number in autostart manually training process of 229 is some kind of garbage in settings.ini, and I'll check it (I think that it was 50...). In any case, setting of this value to more than 10 is not appropriate. But the error in this value is really small bug - because it touch only service feature and never touch filtering process itself. Also I must say one more thing about autotraing. The scenario by which the filter works is here: when you run The Bat!, the idle background process starts, which at begin loads all regarding base into the memory. Then it collects all the letters which appropriate to be autotrained and updates regarding base. If any new received letter arises, this process stops and waits for 10 seconds after last receiving, and then start again. So, autotraining need some time to be completed - about 15 seconds of running The Bat! in idle, or about 25 seconds after last letter received. If you run The Bat! with command-line parameter which cause it to exit immediately after receiving all letters, these letters will not be autotrained. In such case, the value of autostart manually training process... can be exceeded, and The Bat! will wait while you answer to the request. So, if you need The Bat! to work automatically, it is recommended to switch this feature off. -- Sincerely, Alexey.

Re: Get ready for the new Beta :-)
Hello, Stefan. You wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ST Here is a short update for Anti-SPAM plug-ins. There is a new ST function in the oncoming Beta to be called for submitting SPAM/HAM: ST function TBP_FeedSpam(MsgID, IsSPAM: Integer; GetData: ST TBPGetDataProc): Integer; stdcall; ST Basically, MsgID and GetData parameters are the same as from ST TBP_GetSpamScore function. If a submitted message is SPAM, the ST IsSpam parameter is not zero. The return value is non-zero if the ST submitted message is not processed, it should be zero if everything ST is OK. How The Bat! will interpret return value? If, for example, the message was already classified before (not important how - manually or by self-training), and user recall the procedure for the same letter again with the same classification (typical situation: may be I've already classified this letter, but not sure... so, I'll do it again), what the function must return? Logically - that none is done (because letter was processed before) - so, return non-zero? Or it will cause to some error messages inside The Bat! - and so, I must return zero to show that even though this call was useless, (and so, the letter wasn't processed), all is OK? ST ...And the mpidMessageBody data ID is finally functional :-) Does it return raw body (same as mpidRawMessage, but without RFC headers), or _decoded_ message body?

Baesyan filter 011alpha - on the way to first release
Hello, tbdev. New build of AntiSpam baesyan filter and learning engine for it is available. I changed the internal format of regarding base to make it self-trainable. New learning engine can create such regarding base. Because the new format is incompatible with old rbd (now even extension changed and became rgd), so I recompile the filter for make possibly to work with new base. Also I changed some options which let me decrease the size of files in times. Note that new rgd files is quite larger then previous. It is because self-training information which can occupy about 80% of file. Also note that during usual mail-filtering routine the filter loads only first part - regarding data, so you must (at least now) check Save regarding data in Learning engine. By default this option is enabled and saving of self-training data is disabled. If you want to create fully-featured base for fully-functional filter which I'll release in near future then you need to check both these options. Except new regarding base format I only add service reporting when the filter can't start (or be installed) because of absent/corrupted c:\baesyan\regard.rgd. I hope that Marck D Pearlstone will say me something about it after trying to install the filter :). New filter need mfc42.dll. It is automatically included in all windows except Win 95.

.TBB message format
Hello, tbdev.
... Working on BayesIt! I met the question about internal structure of
TBB files. I work with the files using description extracted from an
open-source application which also uses TBB. I found these headers in
the application:
// TBB file header
struct tmbasehead {
long Signature, SizeOfHeader;
};
// message header (inside TBB)
struct tletterhead {
long Signature, SizeOfHeader, Unk2, TimeReceived, ID, Flags,
Encoding, ColorGrp, Priority, MsgSize, Reserved1, Reserved2;
};
(all messages is one-by-one, from offet(tmbasehead.SizeOfHeader) and
offset+=tletterhead.MsgSize+sizeof(tletterhead) for every next
message)
The question is: how is it possible to know total # of letters in
a TBB file? I mean if the short way exist (not passing all letters).
Also I never tried to investigate all letter's header's fields, but
some of them, I think, can be interested also. First of all, what
about TimeReceived? How to interpret this number (I mean, how to
extract the parts from it, or, at least, how to convert it to the
standard FILETIME or SYSTEMTIME structure?) Also, which field signs
that the letter is deleted? I suggest that it can be a bit in Flags,
but what precisely?

Button configure in TB2b2
Hello, tbdev.
Since the last beta (beta2) the button configure in the filter's options begin to
work!
If you want to try it you must change a function in the test plugin:
int WINAPI TBP_NeedConfig()
{
return 1;
}
(before it returned zero).
After compiling the plugin you will see the button Configure enabled in
preferences tab, when the plugin is selected.
By pressing this button (for test plugin) you'll receive the message:
Configured OK - because of calling the TBP_Setup().
Thank's to Stefan for supporting this!

push all into bayesit.tbp (no more external learnengine.exe).

This will be useful to filter the messages later using regular The Bat! sorting office, and safe to the integrity of the letter RFC format. (Of course, it would be ideal if the filter would change anything in the message, but it isn't so safe). 2. About TBP_FeedSpam - it would be good, if The Bat! will call this function itself according to Move to junk folder threshold, basing on integral grade of all filters installed.

nntp2imap plugin - who wants to develop?
Hello, tbdev. I've written a small plugin which works like gate translating NNTP to IMAP protocols. It is just a sample, and I published it for everybody who wants to continue develop the subject. Now the plugin works only one way - it can reflect NNTP groups into IMAP folders and download the messages. It will receive all messages from the group - and you can implement the way to download only last few messages which were not downloaded yet. Also you can implement the store part - to sent the messages to NNTP (it need the other piece of code - to translate SMTP to NNTP). You can download VC++ 6 project here: http://klirik.narod.ru/arc/news2imap.rar (65.3kb) The compiled plugin is placed here: http://klirik.narod.ru/arc/imapnews.tbp (58.5kb) You can install the plugin usual way. Then create new IMAP mailbox with the parameters: IMAP server: localhost user name - address of nntp server (i.e. news.rol.ru) password - none. If the nntp server require authorization, then use these parameters: IMAP server - localhost user name - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) password - password to access NNTP server. The best way for working - is set up synchronization to synchronize whole messages, but you also can use headers only or headers and text. -- Sincerely, Alexey.

AW so there are two possibilities to do that. Even if you don't make any resource-greedy work during such mark as action, this action takes quite long time - because every processed letter is stored by The Bat! into temporary file and only then TBP_FeedSpam called (it seems that it works in one-thread). So, if you will only scan the number of messages, it might not take a less time then if you will process them immediately. I went here another way - progress bar is not only possible way to show that the process doesn't stuck - you can simple show the number of already processed letters - and it does not require to know the final number of letters which will be processed (only user can know it!).

The wrapper for ITBPDataProvider interface.
Hello, tbdev.
I've written a small helper wrapper on ++ to be used with ITBPDataProvider
interface. Here is the source:
// tbwraper.h: interface for the wrapper of ITBPDataProvider
//
//
#if !defined(tbwraper_h)
#define tbwraper_h
#include tbptest.h
#include string
// wrapper for the values of interface
class tbvalue
{
protected:
ITBPDataProvider* parent;
int index;
public:
tbvalue(ITBPDataProvider* c, int indx) : parent (c), index(indx) {};
void operator= (int c);
void operator= (const std::string c);
void operator= (const CString c);
void operator= (const char* c);
operator int ();
operator std::string ();
};
// wrapper for the whole interface
class tbwraper
{
protected:
ITBPDataProvider* parent;
public:
tbwraper (ITBPDataProvider* c) : parent(c) {};
tbvalue operator[](int indx) { return tbvalue(parent,indx);};
inline int items() {return parent-ItemCount();};
};
// Exceptions
class ExDataProvider
{
DWORD exnum;
public:
ExDataProvider(DWORD c) : exnum(c) {};
CString msg();
};
// implementations
CString ExDataProvider::msg()
{
CString c;
c.LoadString(exnum);
#ifdef _DEBUG
TRACE(c);
#endif
return c;
}
void tbvalue::operator= (int c)
{
if (parent-SetIntValue(index,c)0)
throw ExDataProvider(IDS_exnotsupported); // the code of error
// message in the string
resources
};
void tbvalue::operator=(const std::string c)
{
if (parent-SetDataByID(index, c.c_str(), c.size())0)
throw ExDataProvider(IDS_exnotsupported);
};
void tbvalue::operator=(const CString cc)
{
operator=(std::string(cc));
};
void tbvalue::operator=(const char* cc)
{
operator=(std::string(cc));
};
tbvalue::operator int()
{
return parent-GetIntValue(index);
}
tbvalue::operator std::string()
{
DWORD bsize = parent-GetDataByID(index,NULL,-1);
char* b = new char[bsize];
parent-GetDataByID(index,b,bsize);
std::string res(b,bsize);
delete[] b;
return res;
}
#endif // !defined(tbwraper_h)
Usage:
1. Define a line in your resources with index IDS_exnotsupported like
Exception: this property is read-only.
2. Just use it!
int WINAPI TBP_ExecMacro(void* AMacro, int MaxLen, ITBPDataProvider* Template,
ITBPDataProvider* Params)
{
tbwraper tm(Template);
tbwraper pr(Params);
...
if (pr.items()0) {// Params-GetItemCount()
std::string res;
for (int i=0; ipr.items(), ++i) {
res+=pr[i]; // Params-GetDataByID(index,NULL,-1);
}
tm[0]=res; // Template-SetDataByID(0,res.c_str(),res.size());
return 0;
}

Sincerely,
Alexey.

regexp in BayesIt! 0.6.1
Hello, tbtech. I understand that testing is more the subj of TBBETA, but this very subject is quite specific and I want to send it here... I am trying to make a usable regular expression's editor for newbies, and I need your advices and notes. For the moment I just realized regular expression's debugger and made it possibly to be invoked by a macro %RegexEd - so, it is possible to create a quick template which will call this macro and make possible to debug your regexp. However I am not a guru in regexps - and some parts of this debugger may need to be debugged themselves - namely the treeview (a resizable pane which is shown in debugger by pressing tree button, and which shows the regexp parsing tree). Could you try to edit some regexps using this tool and report me about your wishes and bugs? You can do it either directly (by private mail), either using the bugtrack. The 0.6.1 version of BayesIt you can download here: [ http://www.ritlabs.com/download/bayesit/bayesit061.rar ] (this plugin works also under The Bat! 2.1x versions). Thanks! -- Sincerely, Alexey.
