Free search inside text files software for mac

Drag and drop scripts (or folders full of scripts) on the Save Scripts as Text Files applet, choose a destination folder, and this script will save all of your compiled scripts as AppleScript text files in the destination folder.

The text files will have the same modification dates as the original compiled scripts. Unfortunately, this only works with editable compiled scripts and not script applications. This is a great way to archive and protect your precious source code.

Compare Files is a tool for comparing the lines in two text files. You may use it, for example, to compare two different versions of a HTML file. Or you might want to compare your iTunes library to a database of your audio CDs.

Whatever you want to compare, just get it into two text files (i.e. files in SimpleText format) and drag them to the Compare Files window. Compare Files will look through both files and display their contents next to each other, with any new, modified, or deleted lines appearing highlighted. See this screenshot for an example. It’s also possible to apply single blocks of non-matching lines from one file to the other.

Compare Files provides a number of options controlling its comparing behavior. For example, it can ignore slight differences such as additional spaces or blank lines, or it can skip comments in source code.

Stalker CommuniGate File 1.4 is a powerful program that makes it quick and easy to send messages: if an application composes a message as a plain text file and places that file in the CommuniGate File OutBox folder.

The CommuniGate File module reads it and submits the message to the system in the same way as if that messages was read from the Internet. Applications can use the CommuniGate File module to receive messages: if a message is addressed/routed to File module, the user_name part of the address is used as a name of a folder or a text file inside the CommuniGate File InBoxes folder.

If a folder is found, the CommuniGate File module stores the message in that folder as a plain text file. If a text file is found, the CommuniGate File module appends the message (converted to the plain text format) to the file. So, each application can have its own InBox and it can receive messages either by scanning the folder and reading the text files found, or by reading the mailbox text file. The CommuniGate File module allows you to use the CommuniGate Server with some mailers that can exchange messages via the file system.

For example, you can use Eudora in its "UUCP" mode on machines connected to the File Server that also runs the CommuniGate Server. It is especially useful if you use PPP on the CommuniGate Server: since the current version of MacOS does not allow to use TCP/IP via Ethernet if you use PPP, unless you have a router, computers on your Ethernet network cannot access the Server via the regular SMTP and POP protocols.

Decompile AppleScripts to Text Files can be used as a droplet. Save it as an application with your script editor, and drag applescript applications or compiled scripts, or folders of applescript applications or compiled scripts onto its icon to create a hierarchical backup of them saved in text format with the name extension "applescript" in a folder called "Script_backups" in the same folder as the items you drag.

Decompile AppleScripts to Text Files does exactly what its name says.

The scripts to be backed up must be named with either the "scpt" or "app" name extensions. If any of the items you drag contain applications other than Applescript applications, they will be ignored.

If a dropped Applescript application is in bundle (package) format, the entire hierarchy of the application will be created from the package folder down to its applescript file in the Scripts folder of the package which will be saved in text format with the name extension "applescript". The backed up version will still appear as an application in the Finder, but will not work, and youll have to use the "Show Package Contents" command to get to the text version of the script in the Finder.

If two scripts having the same name, one ending with the "scpt" name extension, and the other ending with the "app" name extension, they will both be saved, the latter of the two retaining the original name extension and the "applescript" name extension.

Quick Save as Text is yet another Entourage script to save messages as text files! I dont know how I got so many of these things.

Completly freeware for personal use.
