Had a chance to use Helium [0], a wrapper around Selenium to make web automation easier, and well it did in fact do that. I was initially just going to use requests to pull the page [1] but the page (a yu-gi-oh decklist) does some JS nonsense that I needed to wait for before the elements I want showed up. With Helium I was able to load the page in a headless Firefox session, wait for the elements to show up and then iterate over all the elements in less then 5 lines of code.

The point of all this was to pull a bunch of card art which I then ran through a background remover [2] so I can potentially do cheap pepper's ghost holograms as an additional element to duels. As with AI generally we got some good results and some garbage, I suspect I can partially fix this with settings, but of particular interest I feel was the Mokey Mokey card which came out almost perfect.

in so deep into modding sims 3 that I made a script to mass change 2000 cc files' hex header 😭😭😭😭😭

[dragonfly7022003]

Some programs I have created and use.

File Scanner

This program is more of a scanner to search a server and find all the older files. I set it up to scan for older files that are over 7 years old and compile them into an excel file so they can be reviewed before deletion. This is a good program for users for file retention policies. Also to find those information hoarders.

Now the program will ask you for a file path, then ask where you want to store the excel folder.

import os import datetime from openpyxl import Workbook from tkinter import filedialog import tkinter as tk

def get_file_creation_time(file_path): """ Get the creation time of a file. """ print("File path:", file_path) #Debug Print try: return datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getctime(file_path)) except OSError as e: print("Error:", e) #debug print return None

def get_file_size(file_path): """ Get the size of a file. """ return os.path.getsize(file_path)

def list_old_files(folder_path, output_directory): """ List files older than 7 years in a folder and store their information in an Excel file. """ # Initialize Excel workbook wb = Workbook() ws = wb.active ws.append(["File Name", "File Path", "Creation Date", "Size (bytes)"])

# Get current date current_date = datetime.datetime.now()

# Traverse through files in the folder for root, dirs, files in os.walk(folder_path): for file in files: file_path = os.path.join(root, file) creation_time = get_file_creation_time(file_path) if creation_time is None: continue #Skip files that could not be retrived

file_age = current_date - creation_time if file_age.days > 7 * 365: # Check if file is older than 7 years file_size = get_file_size(file_path) ws.append([file, file_path, creation_time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'), file_size])

# Save Excel file to the specified directory output_excel = os.path.join(output_directory, "old_files.xlsx") wb.save(output_excel) print("Old files listed and saved to", output_excel)

if __name__ == "__main__": # Initialize Tkinter root = tk.Tk() root.withdraw() # Hide the main window

# Ask for folder path folder_path = filedialog.askdirectory(title="Select Folder")

# Ask for output directory output_directory = filedialog.askdirectory(title="Select Output Directory")

list_old_files(folder_path, output_directory)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Older file Scanner and Delete

Working in the IT field, you will find that the users will fill up the space on the servers with older files.

Especially if you work within an industry that needs to have document retention policies where you can not keep some documents longer than a certain amount of time or you just have hoarders on your network. You will know those people who do not delete anything and save everything.

So I wrote up a program that will search through a selected server and find all empty files, older files, and delete them.

import os import datetime import tkinter as tk from tkinter import filedialog

def list_files_and_empty_folders_to_delete(folder_path): # Get the current date current_date = datetime.datetime.now()

# Calculate the date seven years ago seven_years_ago = current_date - datetime.timedelta(days=7*365)

files_to_delete = [] empty_folders_to_delete = []

# Iterate over files and folders recursively for root, dirs, files in os.walk(folder_path, topdown=False): # Collect files older than seven years for file_name in files: file_path = os.path.join(root, file_name) # Get the modification time of the file file_modified_time = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getmtime(file_path)) # Check if the file is older than seven years if file_modified_time < seven_years_ago: files_to_delete.append(file_path)

# Collect empty folders for dir_name in dirs: dir_path = os.path.join(root, dir_name) if not os.listdir(dir_path): # Check if directory is empty empty_folders_to_delete.append(dir_path)

return files_to_delete, empty_folders_to_delete

def delete_files_and_empty_folders(files_to_delete, empty_folders_to_delete): # Print files to be deleted print("Files to be deleted:") for file_path in files_to_delete: print(file_path)

# Print empty folders to be deleted print("\nEmpty folders to be deleted:") for folder_path in empty_folders_to_delete: print(folder_path)

# Confirmation before deletion confirmation = input("\nDo you want to proceed with the deletion? (yes/no): ") if confirmation.lower() == "yes": # Delete files for file_path in files_to_delete: os.remove(file_path) print(f"Deleted file: {file_path}")

# Delete empty folders for folder_path in empty_folders_to_delete: os.rmdir(folder_path) print(f"Deleted empty folder: {folder_path}") else: print("Deletion canceled.")

def get_folder_path(): root = tk.Tk() root.withdraw() # Hide the main window

folder_path = filedialog.askdirectory(title="Select Folder") return folder_path

# Ask for the folder path using a dialog box folder_path = get_folder_path()

# Check if the folder path is provided if folder_path: # List files and empty folders to be deleted files_to_delete, empty_folders_to_delete = list_files_and_empty_folders_to_delete(folder_path) # Delete files and empty folders if confirmed delete_files_and_empty_folders(files_to_delete, empty_folders_to_delete) else: print("No folder path provided.")

Batch File Mod

This program is used for when you need to mod Batch files. Any person in IT that has had to manage Batch files for a large company can think how annoying it would be to go through each one and make a single line change.

Well this program is made to search through all the batch files and you can write in a line, and it will replace it with another line you choose.

import os

def find_files_with_text(directory_path, text_to_find): files_with_text = [] for root, _, files in os.walk(directory_path): for file_name in files: if file_name.endswith('.bat'): file_path = os.path.join(root, file_name) with open(file_path, 'r') as file: if any(text_to_find in line for line in file): files_with_text.append(file_path) return files_with_text

def remove_line_from_file(file_path, text_to_remove): try: with open(file_path, 'r') as file: lines = file.readlines()

with open(file_path, 'w') as file: for line in lines: if text_to_remove not in line: file.write(line)

print(f"Removed lines containing '{text_to_remove}' from {file_path}.")

except FileNotFoundError: print(f"Error: The file {file_path} does not exist.") except Exception as e: print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

def process_directory(directory_path, text_to_remove): files_with_text = find_files_with_text(directory_path, text_to_remove)

if not files_with_text: print(f"No files found containing the text '{text_to_remove}'.") return

for file_path in files_with_text: print(f"Found '{text_to_remove}' in {file_path}") user_input = input( f"Do you want to remove the line containing '{text_to_remove}' from {file_path}? (yes/no): ").strip().lower() if user_input == 'yes': remove_line_from_file(file_path, text_to_remove) else: print(f"Skipped {file_path}.")

if __name__ == "__main__": directory_path = input("Enter the path to the directory containing batch files: ") text_to_remove = input("Enter the text to remove: ") process_directory(directory_path, text_to_remove)

I started to make a python script to do this, but if one wanted to imitate the way @hellsitegenetics does it (and it isn't always perfectly consistent from post to post as well...), it starts getting complicated.

Just preserving emojis for example it quite a lot of fiddly work to get right as not all "emoji" are in the same unicode blocks, doubly so with combining with zero-width-joiner, e.g. how the trans flag emoji is made (white flag + ZWJ + transgender symbol).

Also not sure how/if HSG has handled accented characters e.g. á (which is usually just an "a" with an accent) or characters that look like another character e.g. å (which in most(?) languages that use it is a separate letter)... adjusting for those is also a whole thing. You can decompose them and toss the diacritic part, but that assumes you are going to treat á and å the same, etc

Just doing uppercase and straight stripping out everything but ASCII ACGT is really easy... everything else is not so easy.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE DOING IT ALL BY HAND??? LIKE BACKSPACING OUT EVERY LETTER BEFORE YOU SEARCH THE STRING???

String identified: AT A ' G T A A??? ACACG T TT AC T TG???
