Short version:
ver 1.7 - make version a global variable for my sanity
- 12/4 noticed menu has one extra line after sent 1.6 out
- start ingredient list in col 12 - Randy Shearer
- split line at 39 rather than 38 - Randy Shearer
- handle numeric differently so 9" pie crust handled
- messing up 'of' handling- modified to remove 'of' as
first word of ingredient line - Randy Shearer
- store BlueWave date correctly- Dale Shipp
- store the parameters entered for next run- clear
registration. Store default cat; titles; generic; & zap
- fix so setting 'generic head' correctly when run from
menu
- add 'CU' for cup - Sylvia Steiger
- skip FROM:, COOKING TIME:, PREP:, COOK:, DESCRIPTION :
MARINATE:
before ingredients (asst'd; Mike Bowers)
- handle RECIPE NAME : in title (Mike Bowers)
- swap servings & categories for Recipe Box (Bowers)
- recognize CATEGORY : (Bowers)
- accept H for quantity for HEADER
To do (future stuff):
- adjustable default serving
- conference or area option
- 1-3 (ranges) handled better ???
- generic not work on BWAVE??
- fix MM indentation in directions - Larry Christley
- allow for big comment like Sylvia and Dale use (read
in from designated file?)
- fix MM missing YIELD quantity, formatting?
With explication:
ver 1.7 - make version a global variable for my sanity
This is just programming stuff. I had the version
number 3 different places & had to change it in all of
them. Now it is in one place and I fix it there and it
gets used everywhere.
- 12/4 noticed menu has one extra line after sent 1.6 out
As soon as I shipped 1.6, I ran it noticed that I could
go clear down to the bottom and it would wait for input.
Think I have it fixed right finally.
- start ingredient list in col 12 - Randy Shearer
- split line at 39 rather than 38 - Randy Shearer
Randy pointed out that I could get 2 more characters on
each line. On most recipes no big deal. But once in a
while, this should save a line or two. Thanks, Randy.
- handle numeric differently so 9" pie crust handled
This has been an ongoing annoyance. 9" now gets split
reasonably. Think it helps with some fractions, too.
- messing up 'of' handling- modified to remove 'of' as
first word of ingredient line - Randy Shearer
Randy again. Pointed out that 'of' was getting handled
oddly. I fixed it. Then I decided I don't like recipes
with things like: 1 lb of butter. I prefer 1 lb butter.
So I fixed to take 'of' off start of line.
- store BlueWave date correctly- Dale Shipp
Dale pointed out that BlueWave recipes did not get date
set at bottom. I think it is fixed now.
- store the parameters entered for next run- clear
registration. Store default cat; titles; generic; & zap
Tired of having to change the parameters every time when
running from the menu? So what don't you like about my
defaults, anyway? But the parameters are now saved in
the file MMCONV.PRM. So if you like something else you
don't have to reset all the time. (I figured you only
needed to get registration info once in a while, so this
always defaults to "N".)
- fix so setting 'generic head' correctly when run from
menu
I had the generic heading working backwards in the menu.
I still have not fixed the problem that generic doesn't
recognize BWAVE recipes, but the non-generic does in my
testing. I'll work on that some more next time.
- add 'CU' for cup - Sylvia Steiger
Another wacky abbreviation added.
- skip FROM:, COOKING TIME:, PREP:, COOK:
MARINATE:
before ingredients
Skip some leading lines that occur in QBOOK from time to
time before ingredients and confuse MMCONV. (MMCONV
capitalizes the line before checking for stuff, so it
will find it even if your recipe has lower case.)
- skip DESCRIPTION : before ingredients (Mike Bowers)
- handle RECIPE NAME : in title (Mike Bowers)
- swap servings & categories for Recipe Box (Bowers)
- recognize CATEGORY : (Bowers)
Mike Bowers posted some recipes from a program I believe
is called Recipe Box. I added the above to process
those. The nasty little habit of putting each category
on a different line I didn't try to handle. They have
to be combined on one line manually or the extras
removed.
- accept H for quantity for HEADER
This seemed like a good idea. But MM only accepts "H"
as a "quantity" when run interactively. It doesn't like
getting it from a file. After some more diddling I got
a format I can generate from the "H" that MM will
believe is a HEADER line. Minimal editing at this point
so you can probably mess things up by putting a very
long heading. But why would you?
