<!-- BEGIN AUTO INSERTION BLOCK OF menu template -->
    [your menu code goes here]
<!-- END AUTO INSERTION BLOCK OF menu template -->

Usage is instmpl8.exe [Template-file] [Target-file]
The markers being looked for are
  "<!-- BEGIN AUTO INSERTION BLOCK OF "
  "<!-- END AUTO INSERTION BLOCK OF "
(The quotes are not included, of course).
There must be only one set of markers in the [Template-file].
A log file will be found in the same folder as instmpl8.exe if there are any errors.

setcurpos 0 0		Cursor to upper left
setcurpos 12 60		Cursor to upper left - perhaps to the Back button on your browser
setcurpos 9999/2 9999/2		Cursor to center of screen
setcurpos 20 9999-10		Cursor to Start button

The are also 3 possible command line flags to SetCurPos.exe:

• -g   Get the current cursor position and save it in SetCurPos.txt
• -s   Set the cursor position to the value saved in SetCurPos.txt
• -r   Become memory Resident (hides itself - run again to unhide)

Example: Running the Netscape E-Mail application
1. Change to a directory that is in your path
2. copy DoIt.exe NSmail.exe
3. echo "C:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\netscape.exe" -mail > NSmail.dat
Now just add the following to your batch file:
NSmail

Example: Calling myeditor with certain flags set:
1. Change to a directory that is in your path
2. copy DoIt.exe ed.exe
3. echo c:\mypath\myeditor.exe -flags > ed.dat
Now just type:
C:\any\path>ed filename.ext

Examples:

traverse del *.bak
traverse grep printf *.c

Usage is traverse {-flag(s)} [some command line to run]
The given command will be run in the current directory & all subdirectories
the optional echo -flag can be one of the following:
    -q echos nothing
    -d echos the drive:directory as each is entered
    -o echos the directories without any drive
    -D only echos the command followed by the drive:directory in quotes
    -O only echos the command followed by the directory in quotes
          (-D and -O do not actually run the command - they only echo)
    (Default is to echo drive:directory and command)
the optional limit -flag limits the depth of subdirectories
    -0 only the current directory, no subdirectories
    -1 the current directory and its subdirectories
    -2 the current directory, its subdirectories and their subdirectories
    -N where N is a number: current dir, and subdirs to N levels

1. It automatically stores previous ClipBoard entries of type TEXT and OEMTEXT. If there is a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the window, there are previous ClipBoard entries available - use the scrollbar to view them. If you find an entry that you would like to be the current contents of the ClipBoard, press the "Copy to ClipBoard" button just above the scrollbar. The previous entries (up to 64 of them) are stored in an internal 16384 byte buffer. This buffer is saved to disk when the program exits or File/SaveBuffer is selected. They are stored in most-recently-used order. Only TEXT and OEMTEXT entries are saved and only if they are less than 8192 bytes long.

2. You can place numeric markers on ClipBoard entries so that they can be retrieved to the ClipBoard with a single keystroke. To mark the currently displayed entry, press the letter 'm' and then press a number between 0 and 9. To retrieve a marked entry, simply press the number you used to mark it and it will be copied to the clipboard. Entries of type TEXT, OEMTEXT and RTF can be marked and retrieved.

copythis2 /f c:/dir/filename.ext => filename.ext

copythis2 /f /q "C:\Program Files\Dir\File Name.ext" => File Name.ext

copythis2 /i /fredunix/dir/filename.ext => /fredunix/dir/filename.ext

I'm using your CopyThis utility in my WinXP SendTo menu as a simple way to copy a path/filename to the clipboard. It works just fine, but I'd would like to have the possibility to just copy the filepart of the path. Would it be possible for you to add a /f option to CopyThis that does this?

CopyFile can be used with batch files to quickly place data on the clipboard. Here's an example of a batch file that will copy the current date and time to the clipboard:

@echo off
date /T > %temp%\now.txt
time /T >>%temp%\now.txt
copyfile  %temp%\now.txt
del       %temp%\now.txt

These small slideshow HTML files, along with an allin1.html file will be written to the same folder as the contact sheet. This method uses only HTML - no javascript, etc. On Firefox, the images are automatically resized. The IrfanView image viewer is a great way to generate HTML contact sheets (use File > Save as HTML File on the Thumbnail screen to generate the contact sheet).

In SldShwGen, use File > Open to select the HTML contact sheet or else provide the filename on the command line.

Usage is lsed [find-str-file] [replace-str-file] [input-file]
      where
• [find-str-file] is a one line file containing the text to find,
• [replace-str-file] is a one line file containing the text to replace the found text. This file could consist of just a CR LF,
• [input-file] saved with extension BAK; it must not have extension TMP

Example: for %h in (*.ht*) do lsed find.txt replace.txt %h

Usage is lgrep {options} [pattern] [filename]
[pattern] is matched against lines of [filename]
{options} are as follows:
-c Output to stdout is matching lines of [filename] with 10 lines preceding the matched line & 12 following the matched line
-# Output to stdout is matching lines of [filename] where # <= 50 is number of lines to print as context with #/2 lines preceding the matched line & #/2 following the matched line
-#1:#2 Output to stdout is matching lines of [filename] with #1 lines preceding the matched line & #2 following the matched line
-b matches only at beginning of line
-e matches only at end of line
-i ignore case
-w matches words
-v print lines where pattern is NOT found (sets #==1)
-t precedes file with a title line
-n line-numbers each line and *'s each matched line
-p pauses after each context (ignored with -v)

Example: splitit filename.ext
Restore: copy /b splitit.1+splitit.2+splitit.3 filename.ext

You can also run the program with command line arguments:
    Usage: timetaken {flags} [filename]
        where {flags} can be any combo of the following:
            -l -> show long paths for files
            -q -> quiet: suppresses bgn & end msgs
            -t -> touch file(s) to make mod-time = time-taken
            if no -t, just display time-taken for each file
       and [filename] is the JPG file(s) to display/touch
            [filename] may contain a path and/or wildcards
            [filename] may be omitted & will be prompted for.
