UPDATE: lst2run v0.4 (beta)

[JackFoo]

v0.4 (beta) - added a -b switch (bip).
v0.3 (beta) - added a -p switch (see readme).
v0.2 (beta) - changes the process call from system() to CreateProcess (hopefully it'll solve w9x bug) and adds the -w switch (see readme).

BASE64 follows, remeber to strip trailing spaces.

Code: Select all

lst2run v0.4 (beta).

USAGE:
 lst2run [-h] [-e [exe]] [-s [expression]] [-l [list.file]] [-w [ms.]]
         [-p [ms.]] [-b]
   Runs the specified [exe] on every file in [list.file] with command derived
   from the expression.

     -h          Prints this screen.
     -w ms.      How long to wait between starting processes, default is
                 INFINITE, which means will wait till process is finished
                 before creating a new one. If wait time is specified
                 every call creates a new window, otherwise all processess
                 work in the same window. This switch is ignored if -p is
                 specified.
     -p ms.      How long to wait between the end of one and the start of
                 another task, default is no wait time, [-1] or 
                 [no milliseconds specified] means wait till key press
                 after each task, [0] means wait till key press to close.
     -b          Bip on pause, only works if -p switch is specified with [0]
                 or without parameters (only when user intervention is needed).
     *exe        The executable to run, can be any valid runnable file.
     *expression Expression to be used as the command for [exe], containing
                 valid placeholders.
     *list.file  A file containig a list of files to be run on.
     * Means - this parameter is needed and must be specified.

Currently valid placeholders are [#f] file name, [#p] path, [#e] extension
  Given a file [c:\somedir\di1\my file.ornot]
  #p = [c:\somedir\dir1]
  #f = [my file]
  #e = [ornot]

Example of usage with TC:

Command   : C:\path\lst2run.exe
Parameters: -s "a #f.rar \"#p\#f.#e\"" -e "C:\path\rar.exe" -l %L
Will call rar to archive for every file in the list one by one.
* Note the \" before #p, this is needed to put quotes if the file/command
  contain spaces.

Code: Select all

Cheers.

[JackFoo]

BTW, how can I upload it to ClubTotal and also my other tool (official) lst2str.

Cheers.

[Hacker]

changes the process call from system() to CreateProcess

System()?...
(Just a note showing I thought that that exists only in the Unix world...)

Roman, can you check if it works on your w98? (thanks)

I'll love to!

how can I upload it to ClubTotal and also my other tool (official) lst2str.

Click on Submit Downloads and fill out the form.

BTW: Have you heard about code91? ( http://banki1.banki.hu/~arpi/f-dos.html ) Makes the text version half a KB shorter...

Thanks
Roman

[JackFoo]

Actually system(char *s) is ANSI C defined function, which should be compatible on all OSes, sadly w9x is broken. Damn, the submition process is a real pain, I have no links to the files, is there any other way (email)?

Cheers.

[Hacker]

OK, it works!!!

I have some suggestions, though:
- An option to wait for a keypress after each job finishes.
- An option to wait for a keypress after the last job finishes.
- An option to define the time between the end of and the start of the next job.
- You might want to rephrase the -w switch to something like "How long to wait between the start of one and the start of the next process." At first I thought it was what I suggest one option above.

BTW: Did you take a look at Code91 from my previous post?

the submition process is a real pain, I have no links to the files, is there any other way (email)?

Well, as I don't have access (at least I don't think I have) to Club Total to upload files there, I could only host them on my account on host.sk, but that is too unreliable I think. So unless you find a temporary webspace we'll have to wait for Maxwish to return.

Thanks

How about a -p switch: -p (pause after each job), -p [NN] pause NN milliseconds after each job and auto continue, perhaps -p 0 to stop after the last job.

BTW: Did you take a look at Code91 from my previous post?

Just glimpsed, the problem with these things is that they aren't very usefull when they aren't known, I believe it to be a hassle asking people to use b64 which is very widely known much more so with less known encoding scheme.

So unless you find a temporary webspace we'll have to wait for Maxwish to return.

Sure I can do that.

Update: v0.3 (beta) in first post.

Cheers.

[Hacker]

Great!
One more wish (I hope I give you enough headache): a configurable short beep after each / last process...?

Thanks
Roman

[JackFoo]

I hope I give you enough headache

Not at all.

How about a bip after each task but only if -p was defined and it'll be synced with it; -p 0 -b would mean it'll bip only after last task; -p -b means a bip after each task. I guess if you define -p XX -b bipping is unneeded since the process continues without your intervention.

Good enough?

Cheers.

[Hacker]

I guess... If not I'll bug you later, I promise.

Thanks
Roman

[JackFoo]

Update: v0.4 (beta) in first post.

P.S. (beta) means the program is still in development however it should be stable and contain no bugs of any kind.

Cheers.

[Hacker]

And for 0.5 how about adding some "Press any key to continue..." in a similar way to -b (or -p)?
I think that's my last wish for now.

TIA
Roman

[JackFoo]

And for 0.5 how about adding some "Press any key to continue..." in a similar way [...]

Erm, what do you mean, it already supports "Press any key to continue..." actually "Press Enter to continue..." but it's the same. Just use -p without parameter to pause after each task and -p 0 to pause on last task only.

Cheers.

[Hacker]

Oh, sorry, didn't realize, didn't have time to test the new versions yet and did neither read the docs. Shame on me.

Thanks
Roman

Hi again, mind giving me a helping hand over here - http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=3702 ?
