I've released v1.1 of String Functions, which makes the whole thing a lot more user-friendly by means of a much more intuitive menu-based UI, as well as adding in some additional useful functions.

Some screenshots will follow shortly, in the meantime you can read more here, or grab the download directly:

My Champions Online guild have a cool bbcode plugin for displaying your character's powers. However, you have to set it up manually - that won't do!

This page is intended to remove the manual work from setting this up, by parsing your character's profile page on the www.champions-online.com website. If that site is down, or your character profile isn't publicly accessible, then this won't work.

We use SQLite in Modular Combat, and I wanted to be able to browse the database like you might do in SQL Server Management Studio. This application lets you do just that.

This is the kind of thing I get up to when I'm bored. This application controls a smiley face, and has sliders to control 4 seperate emotional components: happiness/sadness, suprise, anger and confusion. As they are independent, you can combine theme into "combo" emotions such as "happy and suprised", "angry and confused", etc.

In my job, I regularly have to manipulate, and extract data from, large xml files and large sql queries. Sometimes its a "remove first 10 chars from 100 lines" situation, or a "find all the lines that don't contain any of these strings," or just I want to do a find and replace on a string that involves newline characters.

I've moved my site over to a drupal-based system, with the hope that this will facilitate more regular usage. I had been going to port across all my old articles and content - but they were rather disparate and pretty useless, ultimately I just can't be bothered. So I've swept the old site under to rug to www.ftwinston.com/old, and I'll just leave it there.
