All of the new features that google has added has broken other add-ons that I have used.  For it to work now I use two add-ons in conjunction with each other.  OH, three actually..

http://http://www.greasespot.net/

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/11213

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/googleenhancer/

The key to getting things working is to return google to it’s glory days when it didn’t have all of the extra stuff.  You can do that with one checkbox in the options for the google enhancer add-on.

You also need to install the greasemonkey add-on and then restart firefox.  After you’ve restarted you can navigate to the site where the greasemonkey script resides that will number the result for you.  You could also just turn on the numbering option in the GoogleEnhancer options

but it wasn’t working for me for some reason.  Also, when it did work, it would include numbering for the blended results which would throw off the regular numbering.

To install the greasemonkey script you click on this button in the upper-right-hand corner at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/11213

Then you get happy results:

When the search results include a 7 pack, it does not number those.  But when we get blended results as in the image above, it does number those results, which is not the most ideal, but beggars can’t be choosers.

This was difficult information to find.  I searched for a method using Notepad++, Vim for windows, and a few others, but finally found the easy way to do this using – of all things – Microsoft Word.

I’ll spare you the details of the other methods I attempted and just give you the detailed answer of how to accomplish this with Microsoft Word.

So I’ll use my scenario as the example for what you might want to use this for.

I had a bunch of html code from which I needed to extract every instance of anchor text between the <a href=”…”></a> tags.  In this particular case here is how you accomplish this:

Your needs will most likely be different and you will need to research a bit if you’re unfamiliar with regular expressions.  Even if you are familiar with regular expressions (as I am) you’ll still probably need to do a little research to get the exact expression that will work for you.  I’m sure there are regex gurus out there who dream in regex, but in my case I find that I always have to spend more time than I would like just coming up with the syntax for the regular expression that will provide me the results I am looking for.  Microsoft Word regular expressions.

Here are the results in my scenario (which is exactly what I want… well, not exactly.  I’d like to just get the text in between the <a> and </a> tags, but I don’t know how to do that in one step.  The only way I know to do it is to include the “> and the </a> at the beginning and end of the regular expression so that it captures what I’m looking for):

In the “Replace with:” field put this code -> “\1″ (without the quotation marks)

Make sure the “Use wildcards” checkbox is checked and then click “Replace All”

Kudos and thanks to Ivaylo for posting his workaround which led to my finding this solution and expanding on it here.

Using Command Line (Only for advanced Users)

To enable the universe and multiverse repositories using the command line, you can execute the following steps:

Open a terminal and open your sources.list file using the following command

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Assuming you are using the default sources.list, you should be able to replace everything currently in that file with the following

## MAIN REPOSITORIES
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted universe multiverse

## MAJOR BUG FIX UPDATES produced after the final release
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted universe multiverse

## UBUNTU SECURITY UPDATES
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted universe multiverse

If you wish to enable the backports and proposed repositories as well (recommended), then add these lines as well

## BACKPORTS REPOSITORY
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse

## PROPOSED REPOSITORY
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-proposed main restricted universe multiverse

Now save and close the file, and then reload new source list using the following command

sudo apt-get update

If that command runs with no errors, then you have successfully enabled the universe and multiverse repositories.

1 – Download the AWESOME dos drivers made available here.
2 – Move the downloaded executable “wp51hplj.exe” to the WP folder.
3 – Double click it to extract the contents to the current folder.
4 – I couldn’t figure out how to change the default printer that is selected within WP for dos.  It kept defaulting back to LaserJetIIIP for me.  So, my solution was to rename the file to match the name of the printer driver that would always come up as the default when I went into the WP printer options.

Go to this columbia.edu page for full instructions on how to install the print driver for WP for Dos 5.1+ that you have downloaded.

Based on info from this site, you may need to use the built-in HP Laserjet6L PCL driver.

This is the Printer settings page for WP 5.1. For me the printer would always default to HP LaserJet IIIP. From here hit "s" and it will take you to the next screen.

Here we see the actual name of the HP LaserJet IIIP print driver -> "HPLASIII.PRS".

We see here that the file name for the downloaded HP Dos printer driver is HL12SEPC.PRS

Mine would always default to HP LaserJet IIIP even after I had selected the new 1200 laserjet driver.

Rename the HPLASIII.PRS file to HPLASIII.old

Rename the new HL12SEPC.PRS file..

to HPLASIII.PRS. Now it will show that you are using the HP LaserJet IIIP printer, but you are actually using the new print driver for the HL12SEPC.PRS

I uninstalled and then ran the “WinCS3Clean” application provided by Adobe here -> http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html

On Amber’s computer I was unable to uninstall at first. Then I logged off her profile and then logged in under mine and proceeded to uninstall under that profile. That worked without issue.

So be sure to uninstall under the same profile you installed it under if you have multiple profiles you use.

On my laptop I ran into a problem installing CS4. It spent about 20 minutes installing and then put up an error:

“Error 1603. Fatal error during installation.” I found this page at adobe’s site -> http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408436.html

This seems to be a common error. The fix is to go to c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color\ and unlock the “sRGB Color Space Profile.icm” file. Use the great freeware tool “Unlocker” to do this.

Download unlocker here -> http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker

Best to check this file beforehand and make sure it is unlocked, then you won’t get interrupted in the installation and have to start the install over again.

1 – Use DVD shrink 3.2 to save the VOB files for the part you want to extract.

Choose “Full disc” and then look through the structure and try different Titles (you can play it in the bottom left side) to see which part you’re trying to find.

Once you’ve figured out which “Title #” you want, then switch over to “Re-author” mode.

Scroll down on the right side until you get to the title (in this case “Title 5″) and double click it to add it to the compilation on the left.

Click on “Backup!” and then choose “Hard Disk Folder” for the “Select backup target:” field.

Choose a location to save the files to. You can either check or uncheck the “Create VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS subfolders checkbox depending on your preference (it actually doesn’t create any AUDIO_TS files in this case, so just leave it unchecked.. I guess it depends on the DVD)

Now use “SmartRipper” to actually extract the audio from the VOB files that DVDShrink created.

I followed this tutorial for this part. But I’m reproducing it here in case it ever goes away and is not available.

Don’t worry if this screen pops up. It still seems to work.

Choose the file location that you saved the VOB files to from DVDShrink in the first part by clicking on the folder and choosing it (in the upper-right corner)

Make sure everything is selected in the “Input” tab. Then click on the “Stream Processing” tab.

Make sure the “Enable Stream Processing” checkbox is checked. You can uncheck the “Video NTSC…” if you only are wanting to extract audio.

Also on the right side change the radio button to “Demux to extra file”

If the “Start” button on the left side doesn’t show up, then be sure that you’ve selected a valid “Target” in that field. It didn’t show up for me at first because it was just pointing to “vts_01″ instead of “C:\INC0NNS1\vts_01″

It needs a full path.

Now you can look in the folder you’re working with and there will be a file with an “AC3″ extension at the end.

You can open the AC3 file in Audacity just by clicking and dragging it into an open session of Audacity.

From there you can figure out the rest.
