  • MarcEdit 5.0 Update

    Ok — so I finished testing some of the generated code snippets and everything looks like its working.  So I’ve posted the update.  The program includes the changes noted from this following post: https://blog.reeset.net/archives/292.  It appears that the perl generation is working well and I corrected a small error with the vbscript generation.  So download…

  • MarcEdit 5.0: Generate Perl example

    So I’m wrapping this up as we speak.  I’ve been testing some of the instances and noticing that I’d left out a small block of code in the modified subfield section — so I’ll be finishing that tonight with the hope to post tonight.  But I thought I’d include a sample perl script generated by…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Updates

    I won’t be posting these till tomorrow or Sunday, but here’s what’s coming: Script Maker:  Script maker will now support the generation of PERL scripts.  I’ve added the code to the interpreter and now its generating PERL scripts.  I need to test them.  Very likely, I’ll be fixing a few problems with them once I…

  • Sigh — another stupid software patent

    I see on Slashdot that Friendster (never heard of them) recently was granted a patent covering online social networks.  Sound broad — it is.  The actual patent itself reads: “system, method, and apparatus for connecting users in an online computer system based on their relationships within social networks.”  Well, that covers quite a bit.  Anyway,…

  • A hole in my ceiling

    Ah, one of the many joys of home ownership.  I was going up the stairs on Tuesday and on my way up, noticed a small wet spot on the carpet.  Of course, my first thought was where is the dog and Nathan.  The both are in the drooly stages of life (of which, hopefully Nathan…

  • Using RegEx in C#

    Something I found out today that I thought interesting.  Within MarcEdit, I have one regular expression which looks for entities and converts them to their byte equivalents (i.e., &#1B;).  Since this regular expression has the potential to be called a number of times, I decided to make use of the RegEx compile option.  In the…

  • MarcEdit Script maker PERL template (for those wanting to take a look)

    So, the new Script maker uses templates — which is making my life much easier in terms of implementating the script maker because the lion share of the code isn’t in the compiled libraries.  It also what is making implementing new scripting languages possible.  This is because MarcEdit’s script maker actually writes a script in…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 — quick update

    In updating the script maker — I forgot to update the COM component that it links to.  Important stuff to have.  I’ve reposted the project as of 10:15 am Pacific Standard Time.  As usual, download from: http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/software/development/MarcEdit50_Setup.exe –tr

  • MarcEdit 5.0 update

    New updates to the MarcEdit 5.0 program.  The updates are as follows: Script Wizard:  The script wizard is back in MarcEdit.  Currently the script wizard only produces VBscripts (i.e., has the same functionality as the 4.6 version) — but the internal framework is such that new script language should be easy to add.  I’ll be…

  • Shuttle Discovery Takes flight

    Shuttle launch days are exciting days around our house.  I love watching the shuttle launch.   And my boys love it as well.  At this point, there are 2 minutes till the shuttle launch and I find it very appropriate that we should be sending the shuttle back into space on the 4th.  I know that…
