[DQSD-Users] Re: Spaces in switch argument?

2004-01-20 Thread Tom Corcoran
Thanks Brent,

 Try parseArgsEx instead of parseArgs.

Excellent. Wasn't getting it working before I read in deter_tools.js :
Also the arg name
 * and value are separated by a space not a : like parseArgs.
 * This will also allow you to have spaces in the argument value
 * as well.

Surprisingly it hasn't been used in a released search yet.

Cheers. Tom.

[DQSD-Users] Re : Error system cannot locate the object specified

2004-01-20 Thread Tom Corcoran
Thanks for the info Shawn.


For now, you can safely disable the check for updates and reenable it
in a couple of days when the version file on SF is safely on DQSD's
site.


A quick addition to the localprefs.js (checkForUpdate = false) did the
trick.

Cheers, Tom.

[DQSD-Users] Passing dd/mm/yy as argument value

2004-01-20 Thread Tom Corcoran
I am using parseArgsEx as some of my argument values can have spaces. As one
of the argument vales I need to pass a date in the form dd/mm/yy but I
imagine this conflicts with the switch divider /, though I have no numeric
switches defined. So I want to do something like :

mysearch.xml :
mysearch /from here /date 20/01/04 /to there

How can I manage this ?

Thanks a lot, Tom.

RE: [DQSD-Users] Passing dd/mm/yy as argument value

2004-01-20 Thread Shawn K. Hall
Hi Tom,

 I am using parseArgsEx as some of my argument values can
 have spaces. As one of the argument vales I need to pass
 a date in the form dd/mm/yy but I imagine this conflicts
 with the switch divider /, though I have no numeric
 switches defined.

I imagine you'll have to play with the parseArgsEx function a little
or use alternate date separators.

I wrote up a (quite large - 24kb) 'search' for myself that lets me hit
pages and services on my site using their paths. Of course, it splits
params on / so URL's have issues. :(

What I've done for the mean time is use an alternate character and
have the code replace that character with / when it actually runs
the URL.

I'll look into parseArgsEx later and see if it can be retrofitted to
suit our needs.

Regards,

Monty,

It seems you're right, it already does all of this, except the
localsearches.
I'll see if I can fix that today...

 comes with a couple of empty local* files  localsearch.css

 Create the localsearches directory if it doesnt exist.

  Hi Monty,
 
   Does the uninstaller remove the local* files and directory?
   I think these are left untouched along with the menu 
 history and the
  command history
   files...
 
  Yeah, it does - I thought the same, but I just now accidentally
 uninstalled
  DQSD, and lost my local*.
  I've been thinking that should be fixed, but I wasn't sure 
 if it was by
  design.
 
   Shouldn't the installer create the localsearches directory if
   it doesnt exist?
 
  Yes, it might as well, so people don't have to figure out 
 the name of the
  dir.

IMHO config files actually belong under \documents and

Monty  all,

It turns out I was wrong; the uninstaller _does_ remove everything
(including local* files) after a reboot.
I've fixed it up so the following policy is:
- On install, create localsearch.css, localprefs.js, localaliases.txt and
mrumenu.txt, unless they already exist
- On install, create localsearches directory, unless it already exists
- On uninstall, remove everything but localsearches directory,
localsearch.css, localprefs.js, localaliases.txt, history.txt and
mrumenu.txt
This effectively means that the uninstaller never removes the install
dir, since it will never be empty (local*.* will always be trailing).
Are people OK with this solution? I think it works OK, and I'd much
rather have it this way, than losing my local settings, but I can
imagine some people wanting to get rid of it, without trailing files.
Maybe we should have an uninstall option to either fully remove DQSD, or
leave local*. Anyone know how to do that in NSIS?

[DQSD-Users] Opeing local files via menu problem

2004-01-20 Thread Tom Corcoran
Hi,

I uninstalled 3.1.6 on a Windows XP Pro SP1 machine and installed 3.1.8
today. From the configure menu if I select local preferences / aliases /
stylesheet I get an error :

([object error]/) occurred running the search for editconfigfile('[relevant
local file]')

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Tom.

Tom,

In the preferences file (and thus able to be overridden in
localprefs.js) there is (or should be... I didn't find one in my
preferences.js) a setting for which app to use to edit the different
config files.

They look like this in my localprefs.js:

cssEditorExe=C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\\Common7\\IDE\\devenv.exe
configureEditorExe=C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\\Common7\\IDE\\devenv.exe

How about yours?

Of course! Totally braindead of me. I installed on a new machine, then
copied over my local prefs and aliases forgetting that the refereed to
editor was not installed on the other machine.

Thanks for picking that up for me. Perhaps the error messaging could be more
informative in this case and check for the existence of the referred to
editor first and most a message is it does not exist.

Cheers, Tom.

Cool. I'm wondering if a solution might be do a standard escape so one could

mysearch /from here /date 20//01//04 /to there
Perhaps parseArgsEx  could be tweaked to allow that...
