How to do string edit

[domainduck]

Anyone know how to automatically or batch change a long string of domain names like:

abcdef.com
123456.com
000000.com

To:

http://www.abcdef.com
http://www.123456.com
http://www.000000.com


This must be pretty simple, but I do not know what software to use.

quack :huh:

Easy. Get a text editor that has macro functions.

I use EditPlus (editplus.com - not my site).

You just copy "http://www" so it's on your clipboard, start recording keystrokes (Ctrl-Q), do one paste - down arrow- home combo, stop recording, then playback your macro (hold down Alt-1).

I'm sure there are tons of other text editors with macro functionality you could try too.

Not sure what you want to do with them.

php has the explode function that can seperate text files into variables. Then you could concatenate the additional text on the beginning of each variable. Do you need a custom script?

A spreadsheet can also work wonders! Sometimes I combine a spreadsheet with a replace function in Word.

And of course macros can be programmed as well! But they can be a little tricky.

Then there's plain old search and replace functions in most word processors.

I hope some of that will help you, mighty Quack Master!

UltraEdit will do this job easily and quickly.

It has Column Mode to do this task.

This is simple to do with php - here's a quick script I knocked up:

www.samscripts.com/blahblahblah.php

Just copy and paste a list of domains and enter the string to change them to, using {domain} as a placeholder for each domain. There are a couple of examples on the page.

If anyone wants a copy they can download it at www.samscripts.com/blahblahblah.php.txt - 100% public domain, open source blah blah blah.

hope that helps,

Sam

Wiz,

Thank you very much.

I have UltraEdit and will give this a shot.

And SAM, talk about over-and-above the call of duty.

That's a great little script that you wrote.

Thanks to all who answered my plea... I really appreciate the help.


quack, quack, quack
