 Not really necessary. DX4Win has a very handy feature... export to
 DX4Win format. It creates a text version of the file that can very
 easily be modified with search and replace.
 
 That's the .DXQ file format. In my experience, WordPad (not Notepad)
 does a fine job with search and replace with these files, but I'm
 sure there are lots of third-party text editors that would be more
 powerful. The problem with the LOTW: stuff is that the text in each
 record is unique, so a straight search and replace won't work. I'm
 not aware of a text editor with a search and replace function that
 can find LOTW: arbitrary text of unknown length and replace the
 entire string with a blank. Do you know of any that can do this?


Check out Boxer

http://www.boxersoftware.com/

It can do regular expressions, but also has a powerful macro language as
well.

[Dx4win] Label printer

[Cliff Frescura]

I've been thinking the same thing, especially having been in the barcode
industry for a few years.

Direct thermal stock does not generally have a long shelf life to begin
with, and I also worry about what will happen in 10+ years to all those QSLs
with the nice labels attached to them.

Has anyone put some heat on these labels to simulate what will happen over
time?
1.  Leave in direct sunlight for a day or so?
2.  Leave on top of your nice and warm tube amp?
3.  Try to write on the label with a hot soldering iron?

I couldn't easily find anything regarding lifespan of these labels on the
Dymo web site.

Cesar,

Can you summarize the responses and reply to the list?

Thanks,

Cliff K3LL/6

Hi guys,

I'm intending to buy a label printer, something like a Dymo 400 or a Brother
QL-500. As far as I know those printers do use thermal print technology.

The questions are:

Do the label fade away after some time?

Do I need to order some kind of refill? I mean, any kind of tape or
something like that?

Any impression will be very much welcome.

Please reply in private.

Thanks in advance
