Hi all!
I have made a small program, to help me search through the LDRAW parts. It
scans the PARTS directory, and collects all the description lines (first
line) to a private data file (A scan is only needed when the parts have been
updated).
Then I can enter one or more words to search for, in the combined text (.dat
file name + description) and immediately see all the matching lines (The
order of the search words is irrelevant).
I can for example search for 'roof glass', and immediately see the result:
2348B.DAT Car Roof 4 x 4 Sunroof Glass with Ridges
2348A.DAT Car Roof 4 x 4 Sunroof Glass with Ridges
4448.DAT Window 4 x 4 x 3 Roof Glass
The search is incremental (as soon as You write a letter, You only see those
lines that match), and is (at least on my machine) instantaneous.
If You are interested to try it, there is a ZIP file (170 kB) available at:
http://user.tninet.se/~hbh828t/ldlist.zip
Happy LDRAWing,

Nifty little program, Anders!
Thanks, this should come in handy. :-)

Cool. Now I don't have to add this to LDAO. :)
One question - why didn't you use parts.lst as the source of
descriptions?

Two things:
1. When I start typing, the entire list disappears, and doesn't come
back.
2. (Minor) To get the path to LDraw, use the LDRAWDIR environment
variable, or look in ldraw.ini, section [LDraw], key BaseDirectory.

Huh? It doesn't do that for me... Perhaps You are trying to use the single
quote for an exact match - it should be the double quote, preferrably no
quote at all.
(What did You type?)
Has anyone else tested the program, and found it to work?

Yeah, I will do that sooner or later - this was a 30 minutes hack that
became useful... The point is, ldraw.ini doesn't have to exist if I only
have LDraw, and what should the priority be if LDRAWDIR and ldraw.ini are
different - or is it only me that keeps more than one version of ldraw on
the computer (never trust a part update or BlockCAD development :-))
(And in another message)

Never thought of that :-) Also, I have some specialized 'parts' for BlockCAD
(submodels) lying around in (one of) my PARTS directory, but I don't want
them in parts.lst for now.

I installed the program, and it did the same thing to me: the moment that I
entered the first letter, the list dissapeared.
Also tried wildcards (*,?,#) single and double quotes, but the result was
the same.

Um, it _was_ working. But I just tried it and it says I have to re-scan again.
Come to think of it, the first time I used it, I had to scan twice before it
worked.
And just now, I scanned, and the window filled up with the list, but typing
anything in the box caused the list to go blank.
So I scanned again, and the parts came back, but again, typing in anything
caused the list to blank.
So I exited and restarted and now it works fine.
But I wonder if it will lose its list again?

I typed 'roof glass' (without the quotes).

Weird. Today I started the program and it already haved the parts list, and
when I entered a word, it began to sort out the list. The weird thing is that
yesterday I scanned the Parts directory, typed a search, list got blank, I
exit the program, runned the program again, the list was empty again, and as
soon as I typed a word it went blank. So I don't have an idea why today is
working fine.
The important thing is that it works.
One idea: Would be nice if when you select a part from the list, it is drawn
in LdLite.

Yes, everyone has reported the same problem with it...
I told You it was a 30 minutes hack !!! :-)
Anyway, it's fixed now - just a stupid programming error. It can still be
found at:

Yes, that's on my own wish list, it will surely come (sometime...). Maybe I
could incorporate a preview window...

Ok, I have updated the program a little:
I incorporated the drawing engine from Paul Gyuguis LDlite 0.3, which I had
translated to Delphi Pascal earlier, so now there is a piece preview too.
The environment variable LDRAWDIR is now essential for the program to find
the .dat files.
Find it at:

A Little?
This may be little to you, but I think it is major.
Not having to depend on the quirks of just the name is outstanding.

Great program!
One suggestion for your next version.
When I change the viewing options from the menu, I'd like the
view change to take place on the menu click. As it is now,
I have to reselect the part (or click Redraw) to get the view
to change.
Minor nit, I know.

I'm nagging myself about that :-)
It will be there in the next release (no promises when...)

Anders, I still seem to have a problem with the program not finding its
ldrawlist.txt file, and having to re-scan. Even though the file is right there
in the same directory, and the ldlist.ini file has the correct path shown.
But for some reason, the problem of not finding the file is intermittant. I
can't seem to force it to misbehave.
And I seem to have found a clue to its behavior:
I stumbled upon an ldrawlist.txt file in a pov-ray subdirectory I had recently
been working in. So I did a search of the entire computer, and found SIX other
ldrawlist.txt files scattered around in various places. All directories I had
been in at sometime just prior to running a scan.
So it appears that ldlist seems to be using the current directory as a place to
save its file.

Thanks, Anders!
There's just one other item on my wishlist:
A way to switch from a custom view to a regular view and back
without having to re-type the custom view coordinates.
It seems the regular view always overwrites any coordinates I've
placed in the custom view. :(

Maybe so, but bugs are to be expected from such a large multi-tentacled
monster as LDAO.
So you can just keep your bugs.

Anders,
LDAO maintains a list of LDraw viewpoints in the c:\windows\ldraw.ini
file. If you look for and use this list, people who use both programs
will be happier. If you don't use LDAO yourself, here is the format of
the list, with just a few entries:
[Views]
Back=-1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,-1
Left=0,0,1,0,1,0,-1,0,0
Right=0,0,-1,0,1,0,1,0,0

Hi Anders!
I have been using ldlist quite a bit lately, and had few suggestions
(hopefully new ones):
It would be nice if the program remembered its last state when starting. I like
to use it full screen, with 2x magnification, and it sure would be nice to have
it come up that way by default.
It would be great to have the behavior of the "Search for:" box selectable
between "find everything" and "exact match"
When you type 'plate' if would be nice to be able to exclude all the
baseplates. And if you put 'plate 1 x 2' it would be great to just be
presented with the 1x2 plates.
You know how when in Windows Explorer you pass your mouse over a directory name
in the left pane, and if the name is too long to fit in the pane a little
pop-up label appears to show the full name?
Would that be possible to do in the left pane of ldlist? Some part names are
too long for the full name to appear in the pane.
And lastly, would it be possible to be able to CTRL-C the highlited part name
into the Windows Clipboard? (not a pressing need, just something I would find
occasionally useful)
And thanks for such a great little tool. :-)

Easy as one, two, three... plop! Should I save the info in LDraw.INI
or in a separate .INI-file?

Have to think about that one...

This is already there (in a way): If You start Your search string with
a double quote (") it will only match the complete string - but it
must match _exactly_ ie. all spaces must be present (You don't need an
ending quote).
BTW, I tested " plate, and this eliminates most baseplates.

Of course it's possible! I just don't know how it's done. Give me time
will ya! :-) (I'll put the text in a little status panel in the bottom
for now...but it's not there until You click on a line :-()

Put it in ldraw.ini. Part of the reason I used that filename in LDAO is
because I figured we could all share it.

OK folks!
Version 3.4 of LDLIST is available for download at
http://user.tninet.se/~hbh828t/ldlist.zip
<BLURB>
Summary:
Ldlist is a little Windows program made for searching the available
LDRAW .DAT files. Combined with a built-in piece preview, it's a
fast way to find that brick, whatever it's name, number or
description.
You can for example enter 'roof glass', and immediately see the
results:
2348B.DAT Car Roof 4 x 4 Sunroof Glass with Ridges
2348A.DAT Car Roof 4 x 4 Sunroof Glass with Ridges
4448.DAT Window 4 x 4 x 3 Roof Glass
If You click on one of the result lines, a preview of that brick will
be drawn.
The search is incremental (as soon as You write a letter, You only see
those bricks that match), and is (at least on my machine)
instantaneous.
By starting the search string with a " (double quote), You will only
see bricks with an exact match, spaces included.
News in version 3.4:
- Stores all settings in LDRAW.INI - size, view, scale
- You can use all the views You have set up in LDRAW.INI
(You can still use the old way of setting views for ldlist)
- CTRL-C copies the currently selected brick text to the Clipboard
(What are You going to use that for, Terry?)
Acknowledgments:
LDLIST would not have been possible without Paul Gyugyi's Ldlite!
Warning:
As my port of Ldlite is a bit dated (and not completely correct!),
some memory leaks are still there, so if You use LDLIST full screen
for a while, Your swap file may get a bit large. Just exit LDLIST
and restart...
</BLURB>
Well, that's about it... What are You waiting for? Go get it.

OK two issues for me. I unzipped the program and it said, " No LDRAWLIST.TXT
file found. Press SCAN to generate it." I went to the file menu and selected
"Scan". It created the file, but the file was empty. I figured I could just
rename the Parts.LST file to the specified file, which seemed to correct the
problem. The other issue is the preview. I didn't get one. Everything else
seemed to work fine though - even Terry's cut and paste :)
What could be my problem?

When people ask questions here or on RTL or email, and I need to reference a
part in LDraw. I am too lazy to memorize and type the whole name. :-)
I also bugged Steve about breaking that (unintentional) feature in LDAO's VEC
window. So, seeing as I use LDList more and more, I found I missed that
CTRL-C capability.

Just a sec, not done reading....

In LDAO 2.0.2, is that fixed now, or still broken for you?

OK. Let me make sure we're saying the same thing. In the VEC, I can
point at a part-image, and the box at the bottom of the window displays
the number and description. I then drag my mouse across the text to
highlight the part-number. After right-clicking on the selection, I can
pick 'copy' from the pop-up menu.
Is this how you are trying to grab the part-number? If not, let me know
how you would do this, and I'll see if I can support your approach.

Oh. OK, that does work. I can probably live with that. I was highlighting
the text and then pressing CTRL-C to copy.
