Hi all,

I've written a small tool which allows to merge player note files for Full Tilt Poker. When you play on different PCs, or let's say a desktop PC and your laptop, your player notes can easily get out of sync.

This tool can bring them together.



Primary file is YourName.dat of the Full Tilt software. Secondary file is the same from the other machine.
Options should be pretty self-explanatory.
Tagging is optional and puts a suffix after each note line, which can be used to identify where the note came from and delete them later again.

Please note that this is an early beta release. Also please note that I do not take any responsibility for corrupted files. Always take backups of your .dat files before trying anything.

Please let me know what you think. Any feedback and feature requests are appreciated.

Download the beta here: http://www.load.to/?d=iNBwnkFRcJ (requires Microsoft .NET framework)

Thanks
Bruno

Can you figure out a way to get the player's SN from the notes file so we can then import our old notes in the HM/PT3 HUDs?

No, there is only a player ID in the file. I dont think you can get to the screenname from it.

Looks cool.

thanks

Would be nice if it could extract notes from a PT database and convert them to the FTP note format. Since you've already reverse engineered the FTP format for notes, it shouldn't be too hard

yes it is...DUCY

This looks great. 2 questions:

Are there any issues if you try to combine notes with a friend (different user name)?

Also, what happens in the instance where each of the .dat files has a note about the same person?

Technically this is possible, it doesn't matter where the notes come from. I am not sure though if this is allowed. Please check the Full Tilt terms and conditions.

The notes are merged on a line by line basis... if there is additional (non-identical) information in the second file, it is appended to the first file's note.

I can't edit the first post, but I put the software onto my blog homepage: http://poker.docbru.com/software/ftp...notes-manager/

ANy possible updates will be put there

wow, this looks great, will check out soon

thanks buddy

I left a note on your blog. I'm getting an error with the following message:

Does anyone know if this if this program now works with the new FT notes file(s).

I'm really looking for something that will help merge notes from two computers and this sounds perfect.

Now that FT stores our notes in another format I wanted to see if this program has been updated...or if anyone knows if there is any other program that does in fact work with the new FT notes file format.

Thanks in advance !!!

Hi ffr,

I decided to update the program to work with the new XML based file format.

Please visit http://poker.docbru.com/software/ftp...notes-manager/ to get the updated version

Wasn't really difficult since only the file format changed (and the XML is much easier to understand )

Thanks
Bruno

Thanks for the program!

Does it eleminate duplicates? And if a duplicate is found, can I say: Use the version of the primary file?

It merges the notes.

Duplicates are checked on a per-line-basis. So if you have duplicate lines (containing the exact same text) in a note, they will be ignored. If the lines contain different text, they are added.

Any chance you could modify this tool to accept a list of player names (as generated out of HEM, for example), apply a color, and add it to the notes file? I use color notes to help me with table selection.

+1

A file like:
player1
player2
player3
...

And all of them added to the notes-file with specified colour and note.

And there is a little cosmetic error:
The FTP-notes-file looks like this:


After the merge with your program, the notes-file look like this:

So the line-wrap is gone. Its a bit better visible the FTP-way.

May you fix that please?

Cheers bro this made joining files easy as

Rock on, been playing on laptop for a while and you saved me a pain in the arse, thanks a lot for the nifty little timesaver

Used the FTP notes manager to merge my Laptop and Desktop notes together, and it works great! I was positive I had notes on the same player twice, that's why I didn't want to just used a text editor to copy and paste... this program handles that situation perfectly.

Does anything similar exist for Poker Stars "notes.txt" files?

Just bumping here to see if I can get a response from anyone Still wondering if there's any similar program out for Stars notes.txt files?

Just found this thread after searching the web for an easy way to merge PC & laptop notes.

Many many thanks.

Disco

Thanks a lot for your software.

I get an error when using this program. Is it working for anyone else?

I looked at the source code and if you have 2 notes on the same player, it causes an error. I have updated the code to look for matching player IDs first. Let me know if you want the updated code. It is hard to figure out the duplicates without debugging the source code.
