Insert App Page URL and App name. App Page URL example: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mspass.html

 

Note: only for 32-bit portable apps. Regex was tested against several urls in this site retrieving NO error (24-01-2009).

@FranciscoR,

THANKS for you effort... I will try to test it in the next few days!

[FranciscoR]

This is no big deal and there's certainly no comparison with your own templates... for me this is usefull because like this I only have to import one single template with customized tags (including commands), insert url and name, push update and everything else is done in a breeze.

 

Btw, if there is demand, I can also provide a 64-bit version of it.

Notice: today I updated 3 files to the same version, so I thought there was an error on XML. There isn't; although release date is unchanged, 25/01/2009, files where updated on the Nirsofer server on 28/01/2009 and 29/01/2009.

Just tried this, and Ketarin complains of a stray  tag in line 18-- is it misinterpreting the regular expression characters? I'm not an XML expert- can anyone help?

I'm not exactly "an expert" but I believe (judging from my own experiences with Ketarin) that it may very well be "picking" on the "regex quantifier" on that line (e.g.: "{0,4}" or "{1,5}" right after) - my solution in all cases were this was true was to either eliminate the quantifier, substituting it for an "+" (ilimited, greedy), or just try to "escape" the all "{" characters (JUST IN REGEX QUANTIFIERS!!! NOT IN VARIABLES!), e.g. "\{".

 

Also, if you're editing directly (manually, in notepad) your .XML files, there's some characters that should be "converted". e.g.: "<" becomes "<" (html 'lesser than') and ">" becomes ">" (html 'greater than') inside the "values" of any field, in this case, the "Regex" field, noted by <Regex> (start of the field) and </Regex> (end of the field).

 

So, line 18 could become:

<Regex>(?:<td>.\{0,4}?(?:\w+?\s)\{1,5})+?(?:v)(\d\{1,2}\p{P}\d\d)</Regex>

 

INSTEAD OF:

<Regex>(?:<td>.{0,4}?(?:\w+?\s){1,5})+?(?:v)(\d{1,2}\p{P}\d\d)</td></Regex>
