Goto Help Contents


Dialog Boxes (Defined)

Dialog Boxes have limited use compared to Forms. They are generally used to perform limited tasks, or a given task.

There are two types of Dialog Boxes.

Dialog Boxes relieve and shut out user interaction with the forms. Data that is compiled from or by a dialog box will be used by, and or within a form.

Most Dialog Boxes have buttons that require some type of action. These Dialog Boxes supply  more information and more choices than a simple Request Box that can only give a simple Yes or No.

The second type of Dialog Box requires much greater interaction to complete a given task. This type of dialog box may have buttons, check boxes, and or edit boxes just like a form (see below)

Duplicate Files (Defined)

Duplicate files are files that reside with in a given directory that are exactly alike but have different file names.

Duplicate files may have different file names and or file extensions. They may have different file modification dates and or file modification times, but the internal code is exactly the same. For further information on file names and extensions see File Types And Parts (General Overview)

If developing web pages from downloaded graphic files, the chances of having duplicate files in a given directory is very great. It is not uncommon to have 1,250 to 2,000 files in a given caching directory.

For further information on Duplicate File Conservation see Copy, Move, and Delete

2.	Photographs that have been taken using a digital camera.

3.	Photographs that have been taken using a regular film camera, then scanned using a scanner, then saved as a Graphics File.

There are two main formats that web browsers currently use.
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
JPG (JPEG Graphics Interchange Format)

Generally, the GIF is used for animation. That is, several pictures that are layered into a matrix, and combined into one file, then these layers or pictures are then given a delay time. When this file is then viewed using a web browser, it looks as if it is part of a moving picture.

Automatically Create A New File Name (General Overview)

This software is equipped to automatically create a new file name when a file by the same name exists in a target directory.

No control is given to what file name this software will generate. It generates a file name using the "HEX" (base 16) numbering system.

It counts from 1 plus the file extension to whatever number the software does not find.

Example:

If a file by the name of "TEST.TXT" exists in a target directory, this software starts out with 1.TXT. If this software finds that this 1.TXT file exists, it increments the count by 1 (2.TXT) until a file is not found.

File Caching
Cache (General Overview)

(pronounced Cash)

Off line storage of files to disk.

Files are stored in a Caching Directory to free on board memory, thus stabilizing the onboard environmental resources needed to display text and or graphics. Cached files also aid in the speed at which files are accessed and displayed from the Internet. If files have to be recreated each and every time a historical page is visited, then the speed at which these visited pages are then accessed and displayed is significantly slowed. If a visited page can be pulled or accessed locally from a caching directory, then the speed of file accessibility is then reduced.

File Types And Parts (General Overview)

General Explanation

A file name with it's associated path can be compared to a public library. In many large cities there is more than one library building. This can be compared to different computer systems.

Inside of a library there are many book cases. This can be compared to the Drive Letter in a given computer system.

Each book case contains shelves. These are the Directories (or path names) in a given Drive in a single computer system

Each shelve has books. These are then the files in a given Directory that are in a given Drive in a given computer system.

A single book can be compared to a single File.

If every book were colored coded, representing it's contents, then this would represent the Files Extension.

The print in a given book is called Code.

In the English Language there are 26 characters and 10 numbers to the alphabet.

In the computer world, there are two Alphabets each containing 256 characters, called Character Codes.

ASCII Code "American Standard Code for Information Interchange". Pronounced As'kee (with a long "e")

And

ANSI Code "American National Standards Institute". Pronounced An'see (with a long "e")

File Name Parts

The single most important thing about a file name is it's extension. This tells what type of file a program, or file a person is dealing with.

There are four things to a file name.
Drive Letter
Path
File Name
Extension

For this example we have a file who's name is
C:\Internet\Cache\iea10201.htm

The Drive Letter is "C:"
The Directory Name (or) Path is "\Internet\Cache"
The File Name is "iea10201"
The Extension is "HTM"
The Period (or Dot) is a separator only.

HTML Text or Script Files

These files are made up of

ASCII Code
or
ANSI Code

Generic Script Files use the Character code (or set) between 32 and 126, 32 being the Space " " and 126 being the Tilde ~"

There are other invisible characters that are used in many Script files. These being

Tab Spaces	Character Value 9
Line Feed	Character Value 10
Form Feed	Character Value 12
Carriage Return	Character Value 13

An HTML File format is also called Script, Text, Generic Text, or Plain Text.

This means that this file can be viewed using almost any word processor, script editor, text editor, or plain text viewer, just to name a few.

Script files have the following extensions.

No extension
TXT
DOC	(Some DOC files are encrypted)
HTM
CSS
JS
ASX
ASP

Just to name a few.

The Internet browser relies on a Script File that has an extension of HTM or HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and also TXT (TeXT).

Encrypted Files

What Are Graphic Files ? These files are made up of

ASCII or ANSI character code

These files use all 255 characters set.

These files can be a combination of Script and Special Characters, or Special Characters only.

When viewing these Encrypted files using a text viewer, many times words or phrases can easily be seen.

These files have the following extensions.

Jpg (JPEG) Joint Photographic Experts Group
Gif Graphics Interchange Format
DB
ZIP
MID
JPE
CLA

Just to name a few.

The Internet browser relies on an Encrypted Files that have extensions of

Jpg	Pronounced "Jay Peg"
Gif	Pronounced "Gif" (the "G" is pronounced just like the "G" in gift)

for the graphics.

Creating Automated Search Templates (Tutorial)

Searching For Files (Tutorial)

Normally when applications and / or HTML Pages are in the processes of being developed, they are placed in dedicated directories such as HTMLwip (HTML Work In Process). There could be other directories that are not easily accessed or near the directory being used for application or web page development. Therefore, keeping track of these directories is like mental gymnastics at best. By allowing the HTML Script / Graphics Utility to generate HTMLSTRI.DIR files then renaming these DIR files to say "HTMLWIP.DIR" reduces the loss of directories and data.

The initial search files are stored as "HTMLSTRI.DIR" regardless of the search pattern. After the search has been completed, press the <Ctrl><S> keys. The "DIR Directory List" Dialog Box will appear (see below).

The "HTMLSTRI.DIR" file name can be now changed to say "WIP1" by editing the file name in the Change File Name To text box.

Detailing A Single Directory Display Search (Tutorial)

This is a true form of Data Mining and Data ReMining. The storage of this data with in web pages as a report can be compared to Data Warehousing.

Many times during a display search it becomes necessary to detail or hone a search with much more accuracy.

A search was conducted for the word JavaScript with a file filter of *.htm (see above). Consequently there were 17 files found

Main Detailing File Selection Process

The This Form menu selection was made from the Select Files For menu (see left).

If the current file filter is not *.* then a request box will appear asking for this change. Click on the button labeled "Yes".

Another request box appeared asking to clear all of the highlighted files. Again click on the button labeled "Yes".

All of the files that were in the "Files Found List" are then highlighted to the File List Box

The word "button" was input into the "Text To Search For" text box.

Only files containing the words "JavaScript" and "Button" will be displayed.

As can be seen, there were 12 files containing the word "JavaScript" and out of these 12 there were 4 files that contain the word "Button".

By repeating the above Main Detailing File Selection Process it becomes very easy to search for say JavaScript then Button then Red then Blue. The only files that will be displayed in the "Files Found" list box will contain files that have "JavaScript", "Button", "Red", and "Blue" words or phrases in the files.

If these files are to be Copied to different directories, Moved, or Delete then select the Select Files For Menu Option form the HTML Script / Graphics Utility. This will transfer any file names to the Background File Handling Utility for further processing.

File Filter (Tutorial)

Drive / Directory / File (Group)

As has been discussed earlier, the single most important item about a file name is it's extension. The file extension generally tells what type of file is being viewed and or worked with at any given time.

For further information see "File Types And Parts"

In the "Current File Filter Display Text Box" below the "Number Of Files" display (see above) enter the following pressing the <Enter> key after each entry.

*.*
*.dir
*.gif
*.gif;*.jpg
*.htm
*.htm;*.jpg;*.gif

Other entries can be added at any time.

To drop the list box down, click on the down arrow. The display should look something like the sample that is to the left.

File filters can also be added by simply dragging and dropping files into the "Current File Filter Display Text Box". To do this make sure the "File Dragging" check box is checked (see top display on this page)

It is not necessary that all file filters be added to each and every file filter combo list box. File filters can be spread or Integrated using the "Integrate All File Filters" selection under the "Directory / File" menu selection (see left).

Select the "Integrate All File Filters" selection. Now press the <Ctrl><H> keys or select the "View File Handling Utility" for the "Directory / File" menu selection. Selected file filters may now be deleted to customize each file filter combo list box.

After all of the file filters have been added and customized, select a file filter from the drop down list box.

With each file filter selection, the File List Box display changes accordingly, and displays the number of files that correspond to this file filter.

Additional file filters may automatically be added while under regular program control when processing the following:
