TEXT REPLACE BATCH FILE

[dbenham]

It doesn't make much sense to reprocess the entire file each time interval. Wouldn't it be better to only append the new lines (after modifying)?

The following should work provided
- none of the lines are longer than 1021 bytes,
- you don't need to preserve empty lines
- you don't have control characters at the end of lines that need to be preserved

Your poker tracker software can monitor the modified output in nearly real time

EDIT: Added the critical stdout redirection to the output file. I originally removed it for testing, and forgot to put it back
EDIT: Path to input file now expected in %1 and path to output directory in %2

fixHivePoker.bat

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
set "in=%~1"
set "out=%~f2.\%~nx1"

call :processInput <"%in%" >"%out%"
exit /b

:processInput
set "ln="

:: My choice of 100 is somewhat arbitrary
:: I'm assuming the input never has 100 consecutive empty lines
:: If there are never empty lines, then you can remove the FOR /L loop entirely
:: and just keep the inner portion
for /l %%N in (1 1 100) do (
  set /p "ln="
  if defined ln (
    %= Make whatever changes you need here =%
    set "ln=!ln:Hive Poker=PokerStars!"
    %= Write the line to the output =%
    echo(!ln!
    goto :processInput
  )
)

:: If input is no longer locked, then we are done
2>nul (call >>"%in%" && exit /b)

:: Can't use TIMEOUT when input has been redirected so use PING delay instead
:: If your machine has more than one CPU or multiple cores, then this delay may not be needed
ping localhost /n 2 >nul

goto :processInput

Hi Dave and thanks I dont understand what I need to edit in your batch file, anyway here is some more information i thought I would try and make it more understandable.

here is an example of the DATA contained in the .txt files. As we already know I need to change Hive Poker to Pokerstars in order for POKERTRACKER to be able to read them. The file name of each .txt file inside the folder is whatever the name of the tournament is, in this case "2014-12-20-#1293827-HPF 17 €5,000 GTD R + A.txt"

Code: Select all

these .txt files are by default located here C:\Users\Better than peter\AppData\Roaming\YachtingPoker\HandHistoryNG\Bob\2014-12

these files cannot be opened when the poker client is running as they are locked by the client!

To get around this I want to copy the subfolder C:\Users\Better than peter\AppData\Roaming\YachtingPoker\HandHistoryNG\Bob including all folders and subfiles

to

E:\yachtinghistory

Then I need the copy replace command to change Hive Poker to Pokerstars

set up a loop and then hopefully it continues to update all the new data as I play???

[dbenham]

I've modified my script in my prior post to make it easier to use. Please try it.

I've called the script fixHivePoker.bat, so if the game in your example were actively running, you would run the following commands in a dedicated command session:

Code: Select all

pushd "C:\Users\Better than peter\AppData\Roaming\YachtingPoker\HandHistoryNG\Bob\2014-12"
md "E:\yachtinghistory\Bob\2014-12" 2>nul
fixHivePoker  "2014-12-20-#1293827-HPF 17 €5,000 GTD R + A.txt"  "E:\yachtinghistory\Bob\2014-12"

You won't see anything on the screen, but the script will run continuously as long as the game continues, copying the modified information for that one game to your desired location in real time.

You should be able to run your POKERTRACKER against the modified copy in real time.

Ok so this will control the moving of the files?

Is this supposed to go inside the above code?

Sorry like I said I'm a total newbie, can't see anything in the last code that changed the text to pokerstars?

[dbenham]

Please read my prior two posts more carefully. The script that actually copies the modified data to the new location is from two posts ago. The code that makes the change is in the middle.

My last post simply shows how you would call the script.
