MemoRX
memoRX is really not your average memo editor. What makes it special is
a extremely powerful search and replace capability based on Lua regexp.
In short, you can explain to memoRX what kind of data you are looking for
and what to do with the data it finds.
If you have a 'boring', repetitive task to perform on a
long memo, chances are really good that memoRX can be used to perform the
task automatically. Here are a few examples:
- convert the exported data from one application to a format suitable for
import to another Palm application
- automatically extract all the email addresses / web pages / telephone
numbers from a memo to a clipboard
- add a full area code to all the exported telephone numbers that lack one
- change places of rows in a csv-formated memo
- find all the prices in US$ and convert them to some other currency
- convert all the YELLING to lowercase but bold, using HTML tags
- replace a complex mathematical expression with it's result (no more need for a separate calculator)
These are just a few examples of the things it can be used for, not a full
list of 'features'. Most other similar programs can only do a small list of
things it's developers thought you would need.
You can think of memoRX as a text editor equivalent of a very good
programmable calculator.
For those who know what a regexp is, just to note that memoRX has not
just a regexp capabilities but can also pass captured data through a user-written
functions! You can even choose to interpret a
captured string as an expression and execute it (turning your Memo Pad
to a powerful calculator)! You can use the full power of Lua programming
language for tougher tasks.
It's like a really big pack of LEGO. You can build a few things
that you received instructions for, but you can also build a lot of
things nobody else has thought of (or even considered possible).
The memoRX has been tested on a HiRES Sony Clie OS4.0 device. It should
work no all Palm OS 3.5 and 4.X devices. You can download it from
here.
