Free ScrapeBox tool - Convert fast poster urls list to trackback format

[m3ownz]

Hello all.

Dont know how many people will find it usefull, but heres a small app i wrote in .net to convert a standard fastposter urls list Eg:

http:www.domain1.com {anchor1|anchor2|anchor3)
http:www.domain2.com {anchor1|anchor2|anchor3)
http:www.domain3.com {anchor1|anchor2|anchor3)

to trackback format:

anchor1
http:www.domain1.com
anchor2
http:www.domain1.com
anchor3
http:www.domain1.com
anchor1
http:www.domain2.com
anchor2
http:www.domain2.com
anchor3
http:www.domain2.com
anchor1
http:www.domain3.com
anchor2
http:www.domain3.com
anchor3
http:www.domain3.com

I wrote this because i often have to deal with huge urls/keywords lists, and converting them by hand is just not practical (it would reduce my profit margin to about the same as flipping burgers)

Its written in .net 4.0 so you will need the latest .net runtime files if you dont have them installed:

Its pretty basic software, without much in the way of error checking, so if you load i file in the wrong format, eg no keywords etc, it will probably throw an exception and close.

Think its great/totally crap? Have a bug to report? Then post in this thread, dont fill up my PM box please.

On *NIX machines, a SED/AWK one liner command would do this.

.NET is great too. Thanks for sharing

You can do this from the command line in windows powershell:

Get-Content INPUT.TXT | %{$d = [regex]::split($_, '\||{|}'); $c=0 ; foreach($i in $d){ if($c -gt 0 -and $i -ne ""){Write-Output "$($i)`n$($d[0])"}$c=$c+1}} | Out-File OUTPUT.TXT

Just change INPUT.TXT to whatever your filename is.

@twisted_one and proctor9000

Yeah, the code in this isnt groundbreaking, its a few lines in a for each.
It is simple for anyone to use though.

Glad its useful for a few people.

I tried it and it works perfectly. I have had no issues on both large and small files. With single or multiple spun keywords.

I was going to make something like this (or have it made rather, because I hate coding stuff, not my thing) but decided not to. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks and Rep given.

I have a free tool that does this, I don't want to hijack this thread, m3ownz is a good guy. But you can google scrapestuff and that will get you to my site and then just look at the menu.

 

[m3ownz]

Thanks loopline.
Anyone wanting to use this, just find looplines tool.

It didnt exist when i wrote the app in the OP, but it does the same thing plus a lot more, so its a good choice.

 

[omg123]

thanks very much - i will use it tomorrow hopefully.
