List Converter - a program by yours truly

[Sephious]

Well, I wanted to convert a list from linebreak format to comma format, so naturally, I took a few hours to create this program (and research how to create it) instead of the few minutes it would have taken to convert the list. At least now I can convert future lists!

I've uploaded it here to see if you guys can find any bugs and to share it with you

It was created in Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition, so you'll probably need the Visual Basic Runtimes and .NET Framework.

Version 1.1.0 released!

- Added scrollbars to the text boxes for long lists
- Allows Ctrl+A to be pressed to select all text in a box

Next on the agenda:

- Adding an import feature to further automate things for people too lazy to copy and paste from a text file filled with either a linebreak format list, or a comma format list

I'd just like to post that the program has gone through its first minor revision. The changelog and new version of the program are in the first post.

I have a question for you people who have worked on large projects though: Should I keep backups of the source code of old versions, or just backups of the old versions of the program?

Nice, something not all of us have done, created a program

[falcobird]

good job!
I personaly have no use for it but it could be very helpful!

[GuS]

Haha, it's awesome you took the time to make this - but honestly, I'd never use it.

For this I just open it in an editor (dreamweaver works), and just use the standard 'find and replace all' from the edit menu. And replace all '\n\n' or:
'

' with a ',' character.

Good practice this sort of thing though.

Its good practice to make a copy of the entire project with every significant revision. The easiest way (there are many ways, I know) is, after the changes have been made close the program 'close solution', then goto the directory that the project has been saved in and create a backup of the entire directory. (I just name it with the date, and maybe the changes made). In the end you should have a current version of the project, as well as many other stand-alone versions that you can refer to at any time.

If you had VI installed (yes there is a windows version) you could of just done:

:%s/\n/, /

lol... but at least you learned something new.
