02:29:36 <mrzero> Hi! I'm trying to replace an entire line of text in a file. The text is semi-random, but always starts with the same word. Is there a \n variable I can use?
02:31:46 <gluxon> mrzero: NSIS or Launcher INI?
02:31:51 <mrzero> launcher.ini
02:32:05 <gluxon> Okay, give me a sec..
02:33:14 <gluxon> Upgrade to 2.1 beta if you haven't.
02:33:39 <gluxon> It has a wildcard feature needed to do what you need.
02:34:40 <mrzero> Okay, I'll upgrade
02:36:01 <mrzero> What's the wildcard?
02:36:34 <gluxon> *
02:36:46 <gluxon> In your case, you need something like this..
02:36:58 <gluxon> replace=sameword*\n
02:37:03 <gluxon> Where * is the semi-random text.
02:38:17 *** JohnTHaller (~JohnTHall@cpe-98-14-114-27.nyc.res.rr.com) has joined #portableapps
02:38:26 <JohnTHaller> Today's new app is up: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/wxdownload_fast_portable
02:39:31 <gluxon> Hm... is that WinWGet's replacement? :)
02:39:46 <JohnTHaller> Yup
02:40:00 <JohnTHaller> Mentioned it in the announcement and added a notice to WinWGet's page
02:40:08 <gluxon> BTW, is WinWGet coded in wxWidgets?
02:40:20 <JohnTHaller> WinWGet is Delphi
02:42:30 <mrzero> gluxon: looks like it just prepends the text from start until the first whitespace character
02:42:51 <mrzero> might be using it wrong though
02:43:44 <gluxon> Hm.. what app is this?
02:44:29 <mrzero> an internal application for work
02:46:22 <gluxon> Perhaps something like this?
02:46:22 <gluxon> http://pastebin.com/2xFty8Fk
02:49:34 <gluxon> JohnTHaller: Hm.. just wondering. I've created an app that changes keyboard layouts. Can something like that go official?
02:49:42 <JohnTHaller> Changes them how?
02:49:47 <gluxon> Rearanges them.
02:50:29 <gluxon> The original purpose was to change QWERTY keyboards to Dvorak on public machines, but now I'm going to stretch its functionality to other keyboard layouts.
02:50:31 <JohnTHaller> So like temporary Dvorak, etc>
02:50:42 <gluxon> Yeah :)
02:51:16 <mrzero> gluxon: nothing at all happens when i put * in Find
02:55:11 <gluxon> Hm.. not sure what's wrong. -> http://portableapps.chrismorgan.info/launcher/manual/topics/files-and-directories/#wildcards
02:57:30 <JohnTHaller> gluxon: What's it written in?
02:57:35 <gluxon> C++
02:58:07 <gluxon> It does rely on Win32 functions, but not .NET stuff.
02:58:27 <JohnTHaller> Ah ok. Is it permanent (ie registry) or API stuff?
02:58:52 <gluxon> API stuff.
02:59:32 <JohnTHaller> so if it crashes and reboots, is it in normal state again?
02:59:37 <gluxon> Yep.
02:59:46 <JohnTHaller> Cool. Sure that sounds handy :)
03:00:05 <gluxon> Using GetAsyncKeyState and kb_event.
03:01:11 <JohnTHaller> Work in all apps?
03:01:11 <mrmcpowned> :D
03:01:11 <mrmcpowned> hey john
03:01:31 <gluxon> Yep :)
03:02:19 <mrmcpowned> i'm so happy that i got to finally make something of my personal site xD
03:02:38 <gluxon> mrmcpowned: Link? :)
03:02:44 <mrmcpowned> http://mrmcpowned.com
03:02:46 <mrmcpowned> :D
03:02:55 <mrmcpowned> css3 ftw
03:03:08 <JohnTHaller> Eek. AUto music
03:03:13 <mrmcpowned> Lol
03:03:49 <JohnTHaller> Honestly, I close sites that automatically play music

03:04:25 <mrmcpowned> that*
03:04:50 <mrmcpowned> gluxon: Heh, thats what happens when i make my css from scratch xD
03:05:19 <mrmcpowned> s/css/html/ :P
03:05:42 <gluxon> Don't worry, from looking over the list, you could probably fix that in less than 10 minutes :P
03:06:15 <mrmcpowned> wait a second...
03:06:22 <mrmcpowned> All those problems arent my fault xD
03:06:32 <mrzero> gluxon: http://pastebin.com/8rEBPAqK can you see any mistakes?
03:08:09 <mrzero> it's an apache-styled configurationfile if that has anything to do with it
03:08:55 <gluxon> Perhaps it's \n
03:09:17 <mrzero> i've tried both with \n, \r\n and without
03:09:44 <mrzero> \n is regex, don't know if launcher.ini supports it
03:10:09 <gluxon> Yeah, that's what I'm wondering.
03:12:24 <gluxon> mrmcpowned: Out of curiosity, has anyone ever ordered one of your five bucks deals? :P
03:12:55 <mrmcpowned> I shall tell you my total earnings in a second
03:13:34 <mrmcpowned> I have cashed out a total of $287.0
03:13:41 <mrmcpowned> :)
03:14:28 <mrmcpowned> My most popular gig is the script install with a total earning of $236

03:17:00 <mrmcpowned> gluxon: Lol
03:17:12 <mrmcpowned> gluxon: You should read the feedback for the script install gig
03:17:14 <gluxon> Wait, 6 months and $236 bucks for installing scripts!
03:17:19 <mrmcpowned> yup
03:17:29 <gluxon> .. may I steal your idea? :P
03:17:34 <mrmcpowned> nope ;)
03:17:39 <gluxon> :P
03:17:46 <mrmcpowned> though, i wasnt the first to put the idea ;)
03:17:56 <mrmcpowned> Just the first succesfull one xD
03:18:13 <mrmcpowned> that cash is what's funding my host as well
03:18:23 <gluxon> Hm.. how did you get public awareness on your script install?
03:18:37 <mrmcpowned> I used to send messages to people who needed teh installs
03:18:51 <mrmcpowned> after time, you get some public view and people talk about you
03:19:07 <mrmcpowned> For the past 4 months i've been getting random orders
03:19:18 *** JohnTHaller has parted #portableapps (None)
03:19:37 <mrmcpowned> Sadly though, ive been on a streak of cancels :(
03:19:48 <mrzero> gluxon: by the way, thanks for the help :)
03:20:08 <gluxon> mrzero: Sorry I couldn't solve the entire problem though.
03:20:16 <mrmcpowned> gluxon: People either give me a broken script, or they dont give me the full info I need
03:20:33 <gluxon> mrzero: Perhaps you could take advantage of the next line?
03:21:13 <gluxon> Something like this? "Find=FilePath*FilePath"
03:21:40 <gluxon> "Replace=FilePath %COMPANYPORTABLEFILEPATH% FilePath"
03:22:43 <gluxon> Hm.. perhaps I could get some scrap money for setting up a blog for people for $10 :-/
03:24:11 <mrzero> gluxon: nope, doesn't look like it. perhaps the wildcard is only for directory\files? The docs doesn't mention find or replace
03:24:38 <gluxon> No, wilcard support does work for FileWriteN -> http://portableapps.chrismorgan.info/launcher/manual/topics/files-and-directories/#wildcards
03:25:02 <gluxon> Only problem I can think of is the regex.
03:25:16 <gluxon> *regex being treated as literal I mean..
03:25:31 <mrmcpowned> gluxon: Heh, point them to my host xD
03:25:54 <gluxon> Perhaps in your dreams :P
03:26:06 <mrmcpowned> lol
03:26:30 <gluxon> My only problem is getting money from the guy afterward. I don't have any from of deposit set up :-/
03:28:31 <mrmcpowned> No paypal?

23:59:18 <pa_7331> I have installed portable apps on my flash drive and they are running very slow... there is a very hi spu usage
23:59:24 <pa_7331> i didnt use to have this on my old flash drive
23:59:39 <gluxon> Flash drives have different read/write speeds.
23:59:51 <gluxon> Your old one was just faster.
23:59:58 <OliverK> speed is worse the larger the drive gets as well
