Red, you code? Program? Have the ability to create software??? How about shell extensions?

Boy oh boy, you should have never let this be known to WinT.

Actually yes. Only batch files tho, but man can I code batch file! Created my own wall changer once. You still can right click an bmp image and set it as your wall. I can code it for other image types, but stopped using it so I never did.

Looks like we've got another batch junkie here . Do you know if the SHIFT command works in Win98? That way you could spellcheck more than 9 words at a time, by reusing %1 after a shift instead of %1, %2, %3, etc.

/me recalls an eppie themechanger batch file that never got released... any word on that, Red ?

LOL, now that's a great idea there Plastic.

Undefined: Yep. I also could try and use loops or atrilficail loops to make it infinate. That's what I would like to do, but that takes a lil more thinking, and seemed a bit over kill at the time.
When I was first devising it I considered just getting user input and making it a dos app more or less. It's tricky, but mid app user input text can be done. You can't paste though. Makes the whole thing tedious. Bad enough you can't just copy the result. I'm looking for a lil command line app to do that for me tho.

plastic: oops... I forgot. So many things going on that it just slipped my mind. ; That and my ShortPopUp installer need to be worked on. I'll get back to work on it as soon as I can.

WinT: The thing has been an alpha for like a year or something.

You can copy text with Clip

Usage:
command | clip

Do you have something that does the opposite?
Takes stuff from the clipboard and makes it usable?
Would make for another way to do it, ya know?

Btw, I got the idea for the spell checker partialy from metapad. You can set one of the external apps to aSpell, save the file, and spell check it. That's also a lot faster than loading up a word proccessor, but my lil trick is even faster. Esp if you only want to check a few specific words.

Oh, sorry misread your post.

Paste looks like it can do that.

No, you didn't misread. That's just another thing I've been looking for.

Since I most likely wanted the word to be put someplace, but couldn't easily copy it, I often had to retype it. This should save me some time and errors.

Thx again for the app. You know your stuff pretty well. What kinda stuff you done before?

Just the odd batch file to make things easier or faster.

Anyway, that would be pretty nice... run the script, it takes the clipboard data and corrects the spelling, then pastes it back error-free .

That's kinda what I'm thinking too. I like things to be as simple and quick as possible. That would be almost as if it was built into an app. I might even be able to do a lil vb script to send ctrol+c & ctrl+v to copy and paste it for you. You could just select the word, run the app, correct the speling, and be done. Not sure if it would work though.

What do you guys think? Possibly?

Wouldn't using a vbscript be a ton harder? If the script is being run from the Run dialog, the window with the selected text would lose focus. So you would have to somehow refocus the window before copying somehow.

Personally, I think it's fine just by copying the text manually and running the script.

I'm thinking if you had a menu (if one could autorestore focus) or a hotkey (which never looses focus). It would bypass the run box. Work as if it were integrated into the app.

It would be easier to have it just work from the run bow. That is true.
