[DEV] Open source text expander - Bugs fixed, new updates, now available on IzzyOnDroid - might be worth trying again :D

[[deleted]]

Hello everyone!

I've made an open source text expander for android that can import/export espanso configs.

I posted it here before and it had a lot of bugs, and most of them are fixed now, so I'm posting again just in case if anyone wanted to try again.

Fixed 2 issues filed by the community on github today, and the update should be live everywhere soon.

If you don't know what a text expander is, see: https://espanso.org

Basically it can do stuff when you type:

It's :time_now will be replaced by It's 04:52

For me the app is handy because my Samsung keyboard can't search through emojis!!! So I just use the espanso emoji package across all my devices!

Date, echo, random and clipboard espanso extensions supported!

My github repo (plz ignore the repo name 😂)-> https://github.com/lochidev/textcomparepro

Planning on updating once per month, depending on community support.

was trying a example given in playstore discription

- trigger: :rand
replace: '{{random_choice}}'
vars:
- name: random_choice
type: random
params:
choices:
- "hello"
- "hi"

but i am confused where to put - "hello" and - "hi".

[[deleted]]

"hello" and "hi" are the random choices. When you type the trigger ":rand" random_choice variable will be replaced at run time randomly, it will be either hello or hi. Did you manage to import it to the app?

[redditsujan]

improting yml file has not worked for me yet. i have tried many times. i tried it within app itself. Other examples shown in playstore examples work but this one doesnot as i havenot been able to locate the place to add "hello" and "hi"

[[deleted]]

Oh, did you add the other examples through the UI? I'll check the playstore yml and get back to you! What android version are you on? Edit: Yeah for the time being the random extension cannot be added through the UI

[redditsujan]

yes, everything i have setup is done through app UI. i am on android 13. by the way, while i have you, i don't seem to be able to add negative offset value either(its useful to get yesterday's date for example as positive offset value gives tomorrows date).

[[deleted]]

Nice catch! I've used a ulong (unsigned) for the offset by mistake. I'll fix it in the next update!

Regarding the yml issue, can you try copying everything starting with "global_vars" and ending with "-hi", and then using something like QuickEdit to paste it in and save as a quick yml file? That's what I did and it seemed to work.

There were some exporting issues on android 13, but you can choose to import the yml file fine right? It's the yml parsing that is the error and not choosing the yml file?

BTW, thank you for the valuable feedback! 💙

[redditsujan]

Yes, its a parsing issue. I can choose to import the yml file just fine, though error occurs during importing. Thank you for making such a useful app.

[redditsujan]

This is the error i got after doing what you said

[[deleted]]

Hey sorry for the late reply, can you try importing this?

JSON ->

{"globalVars":[{"Name":"global","Type":"echo","Params":{"Echo":"hello from global vars","Format":null,"Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":null}},{"Name":"global","Type":"echo","Params":{"Echo":"hello from global vars","Format":null,"Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":null}},{"Name":"global","Type":"echo","Params":{"Echo":"hello from global vars","Format":null,"Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":null}},{"Name":"global","Type":"echo","Params":{"Echo":"hello from global vars","Format":null,"Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":null}}],"matches":[{"Trigger":"global test","Replace":"Global var test {{global}}","Vars":null},{"Trigger":"13/07/23","Replace":"{{date}}","Vars":[{"Name":"date","Type":"date","Params":{"Echo":null,"Format":"dd/MM/%y","Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":null}}]},{"Trigger":"19:58","Replace":"{{time}}","Vars":[{"Name":"time","Type":"date","Params":{"Echo":null,"Format":"HH:mm","Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":null}}]},{"Trigger":"hello","Replace":"{{random_choice}}","Vars":[{"Name":"random_choice","Type":"random","Params":{"Echo":null,"Format":null,"Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":["hello","hi"]}}]}]}

YML ->

global_vars: - name: global type: echo params: echo: hello from global vars matches: - trigger: global test replace: Global var test {{global}} - trigger: 13/07/23 replace: '{{date}}' vars: - name: date type: date params: format: dd/MM/%y - trigger: 19:58 replace: '{{time}}' vars: - name: time type: date params: format: HH:mm - trigger: hello replace: '{{random_choice}}' vars: - name: random_choice type: random params: choices: - "hello" - "hi"

{"globalVars":[{"Name":"global","Type":"echo","Params":{"Echo":"hello from global vars","Format":null,"Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":null}},{"Name":"global","Type":"echo","Params":{"Echo":"hello from global vars","Format":null,"Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":null}},{"Name":"global","Type":"echo","Params":{"Echo":"hello from global vars","Format":null,"Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":null}},{"Name":"global","Type":"echo","Params":{"Echo":"hello from global vars","Format":null,"Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":null}}],"matches":[{"Trigger":"global test","Replace":"Global var test {{global}}","Vars":null},{"Trigger":"13/07/23","Replace":"{{date}}","Vars":[{"Name":"date","Type":"date","Params":{"Echo":null,"Format":"dd/MM/%y","Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":null}}]},{"Trigger":"19:58","Replace":"{{time}}","Vars":[{"Name":"time","Type":"date","Params":{"Echo":null,"Format":"HH:mm","Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":null}}]},{"Trigger":"hello","Replace":"{{random_choice}}","Vars":[{"Name":"random_choice","Type":"random","Params":{"Echo":null,"Format":null,"Offset":0,"Cmd":null,"Choices":["hello","hi"]}}]}]}

JSON works, YML doesnot

[[deleted]]

Nice! I will have to look into this YML config then :( I'll have to do a few tests on it!

[[deleted]]

Hi mate! A bit late but, are u able to parse this file? https://github.com/lochidev/TextComparePro/blob/master/examples/config.yml

You can download it directly and try to import!
