Good Day,

Anyone know of a program or script that I can use to COPY the text in my TITLE BAR??? I am using XP Pro.

Jazz

I assume you mean in Internet Explorer? You can go to View > Source and look for the stuff between < title > and < / title > (without the spaces). But if you're looking to do this on a large scale... can't really help you there.

Thankyou for your reply...

Actually, I am referring to the text that is in Windows EXPLORER...not in Internet Explorer...any OTHER suggestions???

Are you talking about Red or Green:

Well assuming in the red you CAN copy and paste already thenI guess it is green. I would just go to the folder before it -> rename, highlight it, and copy, then put it anywhere you want.

hey! don't sass me! Any moron could also just READ the titlebar and retype it. He said macro/program, so that says to me that either he wants to do it really fast, or he wants to do it many, many times. Anyway...


Jazz, where do you want it to be copied to? just to the clipboard? It's easy enough to write a program to read either the titlebar or the address bar, and i could probably get it done by the end of the night, depending on how bored i get Just give me a destination. I could copy it to a file, clipboard, wherever.

Also, would you be copying multiple titles at once? Again, if you provide me with some specifics on what you're trying to do, my primary joy is writing tiny programs to do simple things so I don't have to

Can you REALLY do that??? I want to copy to the CLIPBOARD. I have found out hoiw to copy the Windows Explorer TITLE bar by setting up the FOLDER OPTIONS to "Display Path in Title Bar" option.
To tell you how this started...
I use download accelerator programs, in particular, FLASHGET ( www.amazesoft.com ) to download my files off of the internet. Sometimes, a file will not activate my Flashget to accept the download, so I wind up using IE to take the download. That's fine, IF the file is less than 100 megs. If the file is larger than 100 megs, then I need the ability to RESUME the download at a later time... as you already know...IE does not support resumable downloads.

NOTE: I have DirecWay one way satellite and they have what they call a FAP rule (Fair Access Policy) which shuts down your download just when it is getting good. his prevents bandwidth hogs, such as myself, from using up ALL 'de bandwidth.

Now, when this happens, (I get shutdown while using IE for the download), I LOSE everything that I have downloaded so far and have to start anew. I wish that I was able to SAVE a partially downloaded IE download and to resume it later but I could never find WHERE IE stashes it.

However, I can see the URL at the top of the IE download window...and IF I could copy this URL, then I might be able to paste it into Flashget and use its resumable download feature...THIS is the TITLE bar that I am trying to copy.
Also, I can never read the entire address because I cannot resize the IE download window to a larger size where the ENTIRE URL is visible. That is the problem in its entirety...suggestions???
Also, how would you suggest that a novice like me get started "writing tiny programs to do simple things..."?

I think i understand what you want, i'll get started on it right away. Unfortunately, I hurt my left hand tonight, so I can't type as comfortably as I would like...so we'll see how that goes.

The easiest way to write things like this is in Visual Basic. If you have any programming experience, it shouldn't take much time at all to get comfortable, and then it's just a matter of making friends with the Windows API calls (a set of commands to do low-level windows functions). I'll provide you with the source code when it's complete, so you can take a look. Unfortunately, I don't have any great sites to send you to learn VB, but here's the places I've been known to go:

http://www.visualbasicforum.com <- a forum where you can find people who are much smarter than I
http://www.winsockvb.com <-networking in visual basic. Hold off on this till you are more than a noob at programming.
http://www.directx4vb.com <-this is the complicated crap i recommend you not even look at until you've been programming in VB for at least a couple months.


if you want some quick help, try contacting me on IM at Lord Dakas. I'm almost always on, so just leave a message if i'm away, and I'll get back to you. Or you could just PM me, since I seem to be here more often than I care to say...

Try this one, it resumes downloads and it has a bunch of other options.....plus, it's free

Thanks for the suggestion...
My program, FLASHGET, does what this one does also. It's just a matter of WILL the software detect the download. Download Accelrator Pro (DAP) seems to be the most universally recognized download manager, but it is just too darn invasive, ie; it takes over everything.
