Save-Point

so i made another useless tool

Name Extractor:


Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/?wv53v1pd94449cd

System Requirements:
.Net Framework 4.0
Windows OS

Explanation:

It searches a text file for a terminator in each line and then rips out all the text before it.
eg.

text file:

wizoo:[junk text]
wizkid:[junk text]
pk8:[junk text]
wolfman:[junk text]
Yin:[junk text]
[junk text]
[junk text]
[junk text]
(...)

terminator:
":" without the quotes

extracted text:
wizoo
wizkid
pk8
wolfman
Yin


this was useful for extracting all the 20k names on this website:

Yeah, but I can't quite grasp what the purpose of doing so would be :)

*sigh*
look at the way the text is structured, all of them:

1. [Name][colon ":"][definition]

so the app allowed me to extract all the data i needed in a short amount of time.

I see, I understand now. ;)
