txtfilter.exe Win32 Console C++

Filter and convert text files.

• Filtering: skip lines containing/not containing a list of keywords or regular expression.
• Conversion: make upper case, lower case.
• Misc: prepend line numbers.

Requirements

• Windows 9x or Windows NT >= 4
• Source was compiled on VC 6 (should compile everywhere with small modifications).

Installation

Copy/extract to any folder. (For easier access, add this folder to your PATH environment variable.)

Usage

TxtFilter [OPTIONS] [<INPUT] [>OUTPUT]
type [MASK] | TxtFilter [OPTIONS] [>OUTPUT] Enter TxtFilter -? for a list of options.

Samples

Copy lines containing 'error' or 'warning' (ignore case) from scr.txt to out.txt:

TxtFilter -ic -ferror -fwarning <scr.txt >out.txt

Copy lines containing 'foo bar' (exact spelling) from scr.txt to out.txt

TxtFilter -f"foo bar" <scr.txt >out.txt

Copy lines not containing 'foo' or 'bar' (exact spelling) from scr.txt to out.txt

TxtFilter-iv -ffoo -fbar <scr.txt >out.txt

Regular expressions can be used for more sophisticated matching:
copy lines that start with 'a' or end with 'z'

TxtFilter -reg"^a|z$" <scr.txt >out.txt

The 'type' command can be used to process multiple files by specifying a mask:
copy all lines from all *.txt files to out.txt, prepend line numbers and convert to lower case

type *.txt | TxtFilter -lc -ln >out.txt

Also, the TxtFilter command can be chained:
copy all lines from all log files that do not contain '192.168.' and contain 'query':

type *.log | TxtFilter -iv -f"192.168." | TxtFilter -fquery >out.txt

Known Issues

Poor checking: binary files or extremly long lines will propably RIP.

wait.exe Win32 Console C++

Console program that waits for a given condition. This is particularly useful in batch files that start a sequence of programs that depend on each other.

• Duration: wait N seconds.
• Window title: wait until a window is found, that conatins a given string in the caption.
• Process name: wait until a process with a given name is running.
• Process window: wait until a process with a given name is running and has an visible window open.

Requirements

• Windows XP or Windows NT >= 4 or Windows Server > 2000
• Source was compiled on VisualStudio 2005 (should compile everywhere with small modifications).

Installation

Copy/extract to any folder. (For easier access, add this folder to your PATH environment variable.)

Usage

wait [OPTIONS] [OUTPUT]
Enter wait -? for a list of options.

Samples

C:\Prj\cpp\wait\release>wait -?
wait v1.0 (c) 2008 martin@wwWendt.de  --  Apr  7 2008

Usage:
    wait SECONDS [OPTIONS] [MATCH, ...]

Options:
  -?        Print this help.
  -process  Wait until a process named MATCH is running.
  -procwin  Wait until a process named MATCH has a visible top-level window.
  -window   Wait for a visible top-level window title that contains MATCH.
            (This option is the default and may be omitted.)
  -q        Quiet mode.
  -p        Wait for [Enter] when done.
  -dump     Dump task list.

Examples:
> wait 2
    Wait 2 seconds.
> wait 10 "readme.txt - Editor"
    Wait until 'readme.txt' is open in the Windows Editor.
    Then return ERRORLEVEL 0. Timeout after 10 seconds with ERRORLEVEL 1.
> wait 0 "Mozilla Firefox"
    Check: return ERRORLEVEL 0, if Firefox is running. ERRORLEVEL 1 else.
> wait 10 -process firefox.exe iexplorer.exe
    Wait until Firefox OR Internet Explorer appear in the tasklist and
    return ERRORLEVEL 0.
    Timeout after 10 seconds with ERRORLEVEL 1.
> wait 10 -procwin firefox.exe
    Return ERRORLEVEL 0, when Firefox has a visible top-level window.
    Timeout after 10 seconds with ERRORLEVEL 1.

Matching is case-insensitive. If more than one MATCH is given, then OR is used.
Use double quotes (") if MATCH contains spaces.
Check the process list in the Task-Manager for the process name of a running
process.

Skript examples:
  Open a url and wait for the browser to open:
    START http://google.com/
    wait 10 "Google - "
  Start a server if neccessary, then open a url, when it runs:
    wait 0 -process nhttp.exe
    IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO FOUND
    start nhttp.exe
    wait 30 nhttp.exe
    wait 5
    :FOUND
    start http://localhost:8080/

wintail.exe Win32 GUI C++

Monitor log files in realtime.

• Registers itself as File Explorer shell extension to add a Wintail... command to the context menu.
