Have You tried my search program?
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
- CTRL-C copies the currently selected brick text to the Clipboard
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>
For the moment only the first line in each file is processed, but it's
not such a big hack to look for KEYWORD lines etc. Only time will
tell...
