took me one night (maybe 6-7 hours) to re-write the parser and surrounding code. I'll bet back then it would have taken me a few days to program, and even with the extra development time it would not be quite so flexible or fool-proof. You can teach an old dog new tricks!

AND Great ones at that... Thanks

Thanks! (To you and everyone else)

It was actually an interesting to revisit the number-parsing code, because it is program code that I haven't looked at in several years. In the time since then, my coding has continued to evolve and improve, so looking back on that old code was a little strange. (And asking myself, Why did I do it that way? )

Ooh Todd, that mod is fierce! I put some numbers in the P3 Deflate that I was sure was gonna get the heave-ho. Not! The Deflate tool chewed em up and spit them out without even blinking

Great Job

Thanks!

Now that it no longer requires one pick per line, do you think I should change the copy feature for the Lucky's Followers System to copy like 123, 456, 789 , or should I keep it as-is?

Pasting from Deflate should be a snap now.

I have a gift for all the predictors out there tonight!

I finished re-building the number-parsing engine for the predictions posting page, to make entering your predictions much easier and more error-resistant.

No longer do you need to enter each pick on its own line!

Anything that looks readable to your eye should be OK for the parser to handle. It will even throw away extra junk it finds, like extra blank lines, miscellaneous characters, HTML markup, etc.

I tested as much as I coul... [ More ]
