Clipboard Spam Link Wonks
In Excel columns I have the URLs, and I copy them
Then I look at what is in the clipboard with the aim of adding enough BB Code URL tags
This is what two links look like
Code:
"https" & ":" & "/" & "/" & "www" & "." & "youtube" & "." & "com" & "/" & "watch" & "?" & "v" & "=" & "pGcerfVqYyU" & "&" & "lc" & "=" & "UgwYnetS3HRljX9vOLx4AaABAg" & "." & "94UVSldHOOy9VDJUb" & "_" & "mRBH" & vbCr & vbLf & "https" & ":" & "/" & "/" & "www" & "." & "youtube" & "." & "com" & "/" & "watch" & "?" & "v" & "=" & "pGcerfVqYyU" & "&" & "lc" & "=" & "UgzCtsi4abaxZnZJjZR4AaABAg" & vbCr & vbLf
Fortunately, no surprises, so we just need to add the BB Code URL tags in some convenient way. First thought is to replace the vbCr & vbLf with [/url] & vbCr & vbLf and replace the http with [url] & http
The we put the modified string back in the clipboard
Code:

ps1 PowerShell script text like files
Insert some lines without losing what’s there / Retain Comments / Shift what’s there to the right
A fairly simple problem
A common requirement for me is that I want to put some raw code lines into an existing script or VBA code, but I don’t want to change the line numbers referring to where they do in the existing code file.
This might occur if I want to replace some coding, but would like to keep the existing coding for future reference, possibly commented out to the right
What I might do typically for just a few lines is to manually put a comment at the start left of lines to be replaced, and then shift those now comments a few spaces to the right, then start typing the replacement lines from the left, which then pushed those comments to the left
Pictorially this is what I mean for the simple case of wanting to replace just one line
Code:
Sub Original()
Dim Msg As String
Let Msg = "Hello"
MsgBox Prompt:="Hello shit World"
End Sub
Sub ModifiedByInsertingNewCodeLine()
Dim Msg As String
Let Msg = "Hello"
Debug.Print "Hello shit World" ' MsgBox Prompt:="Hello shit World"
End Sub
That’s easy for a few lines, but for a lot of lines it’s a tedious pain in the arse
.ps1 PowerShell text like code lines
Currently have some large .ps1 PowerShell files that I am inserting a lot of lines in and want to do it in the way I am talking about
In this post I will check out the format of the files first, in case there are any unusual “invisible” characters in them, since I have seen that in some PowerShell related text files ( https://excelfox.com/forum/showthrea...ll=1#post15357 https://excelfox.com/forum/showthrea...age3#post15357 )
Here is a File of 250 code line, that I want to put in,
Share ‘blockIPhostsRawAll250.ps1’ https://app.box.com/s/7019x59uvvxt7osvb0tojr0z4g7bfdgk ,
and here is just the first 4 lines for testing here,
Share ‘blockIPhosts4Lines.ps1’ https://app.box.com/s/37pjl9jfk9wue413xewgcjg1cdwk9dwb .
Here is a File I want to put that in from about line 200,
Share ‘Temp7BeforeIPhostsInsert.ps1’ https://app.box.com/s/fttlmwny6y4s5ub1q66kvqbrw2ppxdwz

So, no major problems or surprises, ( or so I thought – see next post )
It looks like a different line separator is used sometimes. But we have seen this before.
I have a slight personal tendency to prefer the two character line separator, vbCr & vbLf , and also the first file was the main one in which the other will be inserted, so I will do a simple conversion to the file to be inserted to replace all vbLf with vbCr & vbLf
One small interesting note. I don’t have a last trailing line feed character or characters. That is not so usual, at least I have not experienced it yet so far in playing around with .csv and other text files
