- Description:
This dialog application processes 3 types of script files supplied by drag & drop.
The major reason, why these 3 script-like types came into being was the need to partially or even fully
automate data file manipulation.
Anyway, each type serves a particular purpose and saves some tedious
typing and thus preserves precious time.
TKSCR:
create file output from templates with embedded //task_... commands and $(...) or
$(c01) - $(cnn) defined variables.On using select or extend commands TASKSCRIPT
can quickly create results such as ready-made files or up to 200000 record lines.
The following example demonstrates this possibility:
##***TKSCR***********************************
//task_define: WorkPath = C:/WorkFolder/TaskHelper/Tester1
//task_define
// myInfo = Test
// arrays = [ABC,DEF,GHI,JKL]
//task_done
##-------------------------------------------
## EXTEND_DATA
##-------------------------------------------
UserToken(;):
## Data_Begins:
//task_repeat: 200000 times
// ;NUM_$(+1);$(myInfo)_$(arrays[1]);$(myInfo)_$(arrays[2])
//loop_done
## Data_Finish:
##-------------------------------------------
## EXTEND_EXIT
##-------------------------------------------
//task_writer: $(WorkPath)/TestExtend.txt
The entire syntax can be studied in TaskScript.chm file. In terms of commands,
either lower- or upper-case is interpreted.
TKMOD:
update,insert,delete data/lines from a list of files. Except for the mandatory parameter
"ModifyTask=[...]", a simple variable substitution is provided for. Each line has an internal
scan maximum of up to 512 characters.
I limited the use of wildcards because the *.* can be a quick road to disaster. Since TKMOD-
scripts change the original files you HAVE TO BACKUP your files which you have previously
named in the "ModifyList". Alternatively, you can set the parameter "ModifySave" to true.
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Usage: ModifyTask=[ModFile*,Updates*,Inserts*,Deletes*]
# Range: 001 - 999 for all variables
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
TKCLP:
extract data from one file and/or append a list of files. Except for the mandatory parameters
"SelectTask=[...]" and "AppendTask=[...]", a simple variable substitution is provided for.
Moreover, each line has an internal scan limit of 512 characters.
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Usage: SelectTask = [GetFile*,PutFile*,GetData*]
# GetData001 = 11111,FFFFF or 11111;AA222 or ABCDE:EOF
# Range: 001 - 999 for all variables
#
# Usage: AppendTask = [NewFile*,AppFile*]
# Range: 001 - 099 ... 901 - 999 for all variables (10 AppendFiles only)
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
All in all, these scripts are very straight forward and easy to use. Either combined or applied separately,
they could assist you in finishing and/or repeating various tasks or chores in less time.
There are examples in the download file in order to obtain a more details of the above mentioned functionality.
Functionality:
• Obtains script files via Drag & Drop only
• processes type of TKSRC script files
• processes type of TKMOD script files
• processes type of TKCLP script files
• Outputs ListBox display to clipboard ....
