I know in the update doug said to not mess with the file but I looked at the file and it seems really easy to just add notes directly to it. For example say after a session you review it and want to mark all the fishies green. Would you be able to just copy and paste the note tag in the file along with the color code, and just add the name of each player that you want to mark green? Seems this would be a lot faster than going to find player and add player notes for each one like you have to do now. If any of you software gurus out there could enlighten me that would be awesome.

example, this is what the new notes look like for each player

<NOTE PlayerId="player id" ColourIx="7" />

So, couldn't you just delete the "player id" part. Copy and paste this a bunch and just go through and add the players names in and save it and it would mark all the players green that you wanted?

Yes, I exported a ****e ton of players names from HEM, threw them in excel, and concatenated <NOTE PlayerID=" and " ColourIx="7" /> around the name. Pasted it into the xml file and voila.

All hail FTP

Could you explain how you concatenated the <NOTE PlayerID=" and " ColourIx="7" /> around each player name using excel? I'm assuming you mean there is some way in excel to tell it to put that around each name?

Load up your list of player names into excel, make sure columns A, B, and C have text formatting. Column A is your player names, column B is <NOTE PlayerID=" and column C is " ColourIx="7" />. Now in column D add this:

=CONCATENATE(B1,A1,C1)

Copy this formula down row D. This is the string you need to add to the xml file.

Alternately, fire up emacs on the text file. Press the following keys where C-x means control-x, C-e means control-e, and "Down Arrow" means pressing the actual down arrow on the keyboard. Also, start at the top of the file, with the cursor in the very first position. For the sections <NOTE PlayerID=" and ColourIx="7" /> actually press the spaces there, otherwise, each space means you're on a new command so don't press the space bar continuously between them.

Code:
C-x ( <NOTE PlayerID=" C-e " ColourIx="7" /> "Down Arrow" C-a C-x ) C-u 10000 C-x e
And that will convert a file 10000 lines long. If you have more, change the number 10000 to whatever you prefer. (Yes I know nobody will do this, but I'm feeling geeky this morning
