Simple Way of Saving Code Snippets?

TodayIsTheDay · Post by **TodayIsTheDay** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 2:17 am

I'm sure there are tons of ways but can you guys recommend a good way to store little snippets of code I can add notes to and keyword tags?

Thanks!

Take a look at the Scripter's Scrapbook: http://www.flexiblelearning.com/ssbk.htm
Written in Revolution, allows sharing of snippets online,...
Great work by Hugh Senior of FLexible Learning.

Scripter's Scrapbook is amazing, inspiring in its scope.

This revJournal article is a good introduction:

But better still, download it and play with it yourself.

Scripter's Scrapbook is certainly amazing and inspiring in its scope, as Richard wrote.

I created a Rev plug-in called My Script Collector which is neither amazing or inspiring; but it is free! It's a basic script collector to put snippets into different categories. If that's all you need then you can download via:

Forum Index>Announcements>My first app: free plugin

There's a catch though. As I can't seem to upload to Rev 3.5's RevOnline, it can only be downloaded from RevOnline via Rev 2.5 to 3.0. (Although if you do really want a copy, and you haven't an earlier version than 3.5, I can always email it to you if you wish).

PS Much credit must go to Bernd especially as well as SparkOut and Mark for My Script Collector. Without their scripting contributions I wouldn't have been able to produce it.

Dave, I'm glad you posted about your tool - I saw it in RevOnline a couple weeks ago and it's very nice indeed, one of the better such implementations I've seen.

I noticed from your sig links you're a musician - do you have a page at SoundClick.com? Much of my listening is to ambient, and sometimes keep a SoundClick channel running while I'm working. Really liked the tracks I heard at your MySpace page.

Thank you Richard, that's appreciated.

Glad you like my music! I've checked out SoundClick; it looks a good site, thanks for the link. Although before I upload stuff, I really must get my tracks (120+) to a particular music library which I promised myself over a year ago I'd do...I wish I had three brains and six pairs of arms sometimes!

Please drop me a PM with the link to your SoundClick page when you get it up. I love SoundClick, and look forward to adding some of your recordings to my playlist.

Back on the original topic, I thought of another quick-n-dirty solution:

Make a stack with a few fields and use that. It's not nearly as cool as some of the existing solutions, but or the person learning Rev may make a useful exercise. While I don't recommend storing data on cards for large data sets, something like this isn't like to exceed more than a few hundred so it might do reasonably well as a learning exercise that's also useful.
