SortSRS

SortSRS is a fairly esoteric utility. It is an add-on for Funduc Search-Replace.

It tidies *.srs script files by sorting, deduping and general tidying.

It is only of use to users of the Funduc SR bulk Search Replace Utility.

Be careful. Sorting a script may it behave differently since SR

applies the search/replaces in the same order they appear in the *.srs

script file. Make a backup before using SortSRS in case sorting makes the

script stop working.

It sorts the search/replace pairs by search string, using a

case-insensitive sort, i.e. interleaving upper and lower case.

It also sort the path items.

To convert a script file, type:

java -jar C:\com\mindprod\sortsrs\sortsrs.jar myscript.srs

The results replace the old file, so you had better make a backup just in case this is not what you want.

You can also list several files on the command line:

java -jar C:\com\mindprod\sortsrs\sortsrs.jar my.srs C:\myscripts\another.srs

DON'T USE WILDCARDS unless you deeply understand how they work.

Read up on wildcard in the mindprod.com wildcard entry in the

Java glossary.

The -s switch makes all subsequent directories searched recursively to

include all their subdirectories.

e.g.

java -jar C:\com\mindprod\sortsrs\sortsrs.jar -s E:\env\srscripts

will fix all *.srs files in the E:\env\srscripts directory tree, ignoring

other types of files.

If you have the jar extension set up as executable, you can abbreviate:

C:\com\mindprod\sortsrs\sortsrs.jar .

If you have Jet, that abbreviates even further to

sortsrs.exe .

If this utility is of use to you, possibly the CSVToSRS utility part of

the mindprod.com CSV suite may also be of interest.
