Hi,

i've been spending more time laterly codeing, for work, and my stuff at home.

so this has made me hunt for more code examples, and useful udf files,

at the moment, i store my stuff on 2 PC,s and a USB stick to "sync" it together,

( why u ask, having it in 3 location, backup, nothing worse than have a wonderful peice of code you wrote get lost, and have to start again )

for me, I have 3 groups,

UDF, Code snippets ( useful Functions ) and small programs,

and i'm starting to find it hard to keep track of it all,

so i'm wondering what do other people use, how do you find the peice of code you know u got in your collection,

is there any good management software to keep track of all this ?

thanks in advanced for any replies,

Nigel

when you do a bunch of programs you know what is in there (so anytime you need a some function, etc...when you need some function/code..you can open up that program and copy what you need)

I store autoit examples, udf, programs on a folder in my DropBox, no file'll be lost ;)

Heroes, there is no such thing

One day I'll discover what IE.au3 has of special for so many users using it.

Link_UDF

remember where lies

There is a temporary folder, every month new. Best scripts rename and put in a collection. Then search by file name or by text in files.

Sweet, I'm in the list, but the link is wrong.

UDF List:

 
_AdapterConnections() • _AlwaysRun() • _AppMon() • _AppMonEx() • _ArrayFilter/_ArrayReduce • _BinaryBin() • _CheckMsgBox() • _CmdLineRaw() • _ContextMenu() • _ConvertLHWebColor()/_ConvertSHWebColor() • _DesktopDimensions() • _DisplayPassword() • _DotNet_Load()/_DotNet_Unload() • _Fibonacci() • _FileCompare() • _FileCompareContents() • _FileNameByHandle() • _FilePrefix/SRE() • _FindInFile() • _GetBackgroundColor()/_SetBackgroundColor() • _GetConrolID() • _GetCtrlClass() • _GetDirectoryFormat() • _GetDriveMediaType() • _GetFilename()/_GetFilenameExt() • _GetHardwareID() • _GetIP() • _GetIP_Country() • _GetOSLanguage() • _GetSavedSource() • _GetStringSize() • _GetSystemPaths() • _GetURLImage() • _GIFImage() • _GoogleWeather() • _GUICtrlCreateGroup() • _GUICtrlListBox_CreateArray() • _GUICtrlListView_CreateArray() • _GUICtrlListView_SaveCSV() • _GUICtrlListView_SaveHTML() • _GUICtrlListView_SaveTxt() • _GUICtrlListView_SaveXML() • _GUICtrlMenu_Recent() • _GUICtrlMenu_SetItemImage() • _GUICtrlTreeView_CreateArray() • _GUIDisable() • _GUIImageList_SetIconFromHandle() • _GUIRegisterMsg() • _GUISetIcon() • _Icon_Clear()/_Icon_Set() • _IdleTime() • _InetGet() • _InetGetGUI() • _InetGetProgress() • _IPDetails() • _IsFileOlder() • _IsGUID() • _IsHex() • _IsPalindrome() • _IsRegKey() • _IsStringRegExp() • _IsSystemDrive() • _IsUPX() • _IsValidType() • _IsWebColor() • _Language() • _Log() • _MicrosoftInternetConnectivity() • _MSDNDataType() • _PathFull/GetRelative/Split() • _PathSplitEx() • _PrintFromArray() • _ProgressSetMarquee() • _ReDim() • _RockPaperScissors()/_RockPaperScissorsLizardSpock() • _ScrollingCredits • _SelfDelete() • _SelfRename() • _SelfUpdate() • _SendTo() • _ShellAll() • _ShellFile() • _ShellFolder() • _SingletonHWID() • _SingletonPID() • _Startup() • _StringCompact() • _StringIsValid() • _StringRegExpMetaCharacters() • _StringReplaceWholeWord() • _StringStripChars() • _Temperature() • _TrialPeriod() • _UKToUSDate()/_USToUKDate() • _WinAPI_Create_CTL_CODE() • _WinAPI_CreateGUID() • _WMIDateStringToDate()/_DateToWMIDateString() • Au3 script parsing • AutoIt Search • AutoIt3 Portable • AutoIt3WrapperToPragma • AutoItWinGetTitle()/AutoItWinSetTitle() • Coding • DirToHTML5 • FileInstallr • FileReadLastChars() • GeoIP database • GUI - Only Close Button • GUI Examples • GUICtrlDeleteImage() • GUICtrlGetBkColor() • GUICtrlGetStyle() • GUIEvents • GUIGetBkColor() • Int_Parse() & Int_TryParse() • IsISBN() • LockFile() • Mapping CtrlIDs • OOP in AutoIt • ParseHeadersToSciTE() • PasswordValid • PasteBin • Posts Per Day • PreExpand • Protect Globals • Queue() • Resource Update • ResourcesEx • SciTE Jump • Settings INI • SHELLHOOK • Shunting-Yard • Signature Creator • Stack() • Stopwatch() • StringAddLF()/StringStripLF() • StringEOLToCRLF() • VSCROLL • WM_COPYDATA • More Examples...

+1 for Dropbox. I have all my projects and sample programs and snippets saved on there so no matter where I am I can get to my code if I have web access.

GitHub desktop app (free) + BitBucket free private repo (not just for version control, but great for sync / organization / lookup of snippets or whole projects).

Explanation:

0) Yeah, bitbucket now has a vc client, but started using this combo way before they launched it - GH client is (IMHO) fast and easy to use + u don't need to use GH repo with it ('cause they're public when free)

1) BB provides u with free wiki and issue system (great when soloing multiple projects, IMHO, 'cause you don't need to remember stuff, or search thru ur own comments in code (tends to be tedious; my 'issues' comments are large, to put it simply)

2) Code and snippets sync across desktop, netbook and smartphone (in my case), so u can work / lookup snippets where-/whenever u need/want to

Disclaimer:

It is not my intent to advertise these companies or their products - during my work as a programmer I've found that Dropbox and simmilar sware don't fullfill my needs for snippet collections cause they get too cluttered, too fast.

Everything expressed is based on personal experience and opinion; I'm not saying this kind of setup works for everybody (got flamed in the past by purists for using version control this way =) ).

Not exactly sure why no-one mentioned Snippet Holder, which is available here somewhere at the forum ... other than it may no longer be supported or updated?

I seem to recall a few other similar programs here that have surfaced from time to time.
