So it occurred to me that I should have a database of these code snippets so I can search for say; "directory walking" and I will get my preferred code. This will become essential as the code base grows.
Bob,
This is one of the reasons I'm building the MTML Notebook, beta testing in February. <directory walking> I have it working with code fragments and even displayed markup languages like displaying XML or HTML fragments. You would just copy your preferred code fragment from the script editor or some handler from this e-mail list for example and import it as a new page or add it to an existing page. After that you would take your "directory walking" phrase and use it as a tag set of brackets to isolate </directory walking> your text you wish to find. (like this paragraph)
This is done by highlighting a chunk of text, entering "directory walking" in the indicate text entry window and pressing a button. Your tag-set phrase is saved with your highlighted text & to a list and can be used at a later time to recall every instance that you used the phrase "directory walking" at. The notebook also includes a merge feature that allows any licensed version user to merge an additional document to an already open document. All tag-sets and phrases used will update the existing open file. This combination of files can then be saved. The free version has a save limitation that could prevent merging documents that are larger than allowed. The free version is provided for publishers that wish to have a powerful DRM solution for distributing copyrighted material. I'm bouncing between $19.95, $24.95, or $29.95 for the unlimited user version. My competition is selling for around $49.95 for similar notebook kind of archiving tools. Any suggestions on a price would be welcome?
So there can easily be a collaboration of preferred code snippets thrown together by many users that can be combined into a topically referenced file. There is even a topical Dictionary that can be imported and used as a construct library of commonly used phrases.
Sorry that it is just vapor ware today but it will be completed soon.
