starting to work as an IT man lately
with some programing background,
there are so many occasions where there’s a need for processing large amount of data.
mainly strings i guess..
for example:
- there’s 2 large sets of lines, and we need all the lines in both of the sets
- replacing one or more white characters in a row, to one line break…
- taking the 4th to 7th character of each line and print them in one line with comma as a delimiter
these are not the best examples, but generally any kind of parsing, manipulating and query of texts.
it’s very often that the task is extremely easy in any programing language, but it is just to frustrating to open the IDE of such language….
i’m looking to some way to write code (with intelisence/autocomplete), in an easy fast window…… with simple input and output textboxes….
do you understand my need? can you think of anything that can help?
i know some of the problems can be solved using excel.. but i really prefer some good old programing…. unless someone is strongly believe i’m wrong.
if i will build something myself, there will be an option to add any amount of unlimited multiline textboxes. they’ll be automatically named, although the name is changeable (the names will be the the name of the variables).
you can as well add any number of output textboxes that have names…
and you have the editor window, in which you write the procedure….. and it will have some interactive intelisence like interface…
can you see what i’m saying? do you know anything similar?
Seems like Python would be fine for this.
Has an interactive keyboard interface, quite nice abstraction facilities,
and strings as objects with good libraries for processing such strings.
