Jan 26, 2014 Replies: 9 Retriever is a little utility program we have been using for years. It allows the user to search through files for different code examples. Retriever will search in .b4j and .bas files for the text and display it in a list. The files found can be selected and a View window displays the Line Number and the line of text where Retriever found the text. Retriever can open the file in the B4J editor for .b4j files and in MS WordPad for .bas files. Unzip the attached file and it can be placed anywhere as it does not need installation. Have fun! EDIT: Update to B4JRetriever.exe - download Retriever_Fix1.zip - uncompress - use the B4JRetriever.exe by copying it to the original download folder and thereby replacing the B4JRetriever.exe that was in original download (B4JRetriever.zip). Found a small bug in the search pattern. Fixed. Status Bar now shows better info! NEW - Can now search in CSS files!

R rboeck Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 26, 2014 #3 Thanks for this tool! Would it be hard to make an switchable version to use it in B4A too?

The source code is in C type language which i have been using for a long time on other projects. A good project for someone keen to do it in B4J... The Help file is adequate for a developer to follow.

BPak Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 17, 2014 #9 An update for the B4JRetriever is now in Post #1. I often find a need to look up info on CSS and have updated B4JRetriever which now allows for searching in CSS files. The CSS file will be opened in WordPad.

BPak Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 8, 2014 #10 B4J has had a bug fix. The program was not reading the files correctly, and missing some Line Numbers in the View Window. We have extended the ability of the Line Reading for longer lines which appears to have fixed this issue. Users can unzip the file 'B4JRetriever with CSS 2.zip' and use the program from the unzipped folder. If a user already is using the B4JRetriever program then the B4JRetriever.exe from this Download can be used to replace a old B4JRetriever.exe. This keeps all the Folders and Keywords that have been set up. Or use the new download and copy the 'folders.txt' and 'keywords.txt' file from the old B4JRetriever Folder. The Help file is not included in this Download. For Download of 'B4JRetriever with CSS - 2' see first post.
