Chromium history allow us to browse our history by a specific word, like if I wanted to know what wikipedia pages I was browsing last week I could search by "wikipedia" then browse to last week, but is it possible to search by time, I would enter a specific date and it will bring me to what pages I was browsing around this time ?
The History file is a sqlite database so you can use sql to extract what you want. Create a file of sql commands called (for eg) "show.sql" with the following contents:
.mode line
SELECT
DATETIME((last_visit_time/1000000)-11644473600, 'UNIXEPOCH', 'LOCALTIME') AS date,
title,
url
FROM
urls
WHERE
date < "2019-09-28 02:46:36"
AND
date > "2019-09-28 02:15:56"
ORDER BY
last_visit_time;
and use a command like this
sqlite3 History < show.sql > out.txt
which will put the data for the date range you choose into the text file out.txt so you can browse it with an editor.
the line ".mode line" is sqlite specific and chooses the format for the output putting each field on a separate line.

I would like to export the file-save history of one or more files as a text file, possibly csv.
For example: I'd like to ideally select a file or group of files in the file explorer, or select a time-range in a file's the timeline panel, then export that as a summary in csv form, ie:
file name, time-stamp
file name, time-stamp etc
Can't find functionality for this. Perhaps an extension exists?
Suppose I do:
ctrl+shift+p
Search: Find in Files
<provide search term>
Can I sort the results by recent changes?
Note, all included files are also under version control, if that matters.
It isn't very accessible (not on the search side bar / panel) but there is a setting for this:
Features > Search > Sort Order
And an option to set it to modified like this in JSON:
"search.sortOrder": "modified"
That is still shown grouped by file but at last shows the most recently modified result first.
Yes, I know; this question has been asked thousands of times in hundreds of different places, but Google Sheets stubbornly refuses to let me convert a date such as "9/18/2004" to "2004-9-18". I select one or more cells whose date format is "dd/mm/yyyy", click on FORMAT, then NUMBER, then MORE FORMATS, then I select "More date and time formats", and then select the example "1930-08-05", and then nothing happens. Nothing changes. I need help with this. Here is a link to the problem column:

Thanks.
From Google:
Change locale and time zone
When you change the locale and time zone of a spreadsheet, it changes the spreadsheet’s default currency, date, and number formatting.
On your computer, open a spreadsheet in Google Sheets.
Click File and then Spreadsheet settings.
Under "General," click the "Locale" and "Time zone" menus to change your settings.
Click Save settings.
Changing the locale doesn’t change your language settings in Google Sheets. You can set the language in Google Account settings.
Worked for me :)
9/18/2004 is not a date. its text string. if you change it to 18/9/2004 then you have a valid date and you can apply your desired formatting
to quickly reformat it you may use:
=ARRAYFORMULA(TEXT(IF(ISNUMBER(A2:A*1), A2:A, DATE(
REGEXEXTRACT(A2:A, ".{4}$"),
REGEXEXTRACT(A2:A, "^\d+"),
REGEXEXTRACT(A2:A, "/(\d+)/"))), "yyyy-mm-dd"))
So this just worked for me:
Change settings as advised - but THEN:
Insert a new column
Copy all dates from the original column into the new on with "paste special" => "values only".
Then select all dates and format again as date. From there on I could sort according to date etc.
I'm writing a data-sync/merge solution in FileMaker where I have two data sources and compare/merge them.
That means I have a number of tables and each with a number of fields.
I have for a testing field built my logic and a layout so that FM shows me when the local and remote data source are different and shows me two buttons to let me choose which data to merge into the other set.
I could, of course, manually replicate all the formulas and buttons for all fields in all tables, but that would be insane. Is there a way to tell FileMaker "use this layout and script steps on the buttons for all fields, changing the names of the fields as you go" ?
Or, in other words, I have two fields and two buttons. Let's call them DataA::field and DataB::field. I have a layout that shows them side-by-side. That layout has two buttons with attached logic to show the buttons only if the field values are different. Button A has a "single step" formula that says "set field value of B to A" and button B has a formula "set field value of A to B".
Is there a way to replicate those buttons and their logic to all the fields in my table without doing a lot of manual work ?
The answer is YES!
You need...
fmWorkMate
[Makes your FileMaker work]
fmWorkMate is a free Power Toolbox for FileMaker Developers from www.mrwatson.de (that I have written over the last 10 years or so).
I use fmWorkMate myself to do exactly what you are doing! In my case I'm syncing fields between tables of my FileMaker solution and embedded ESS tables, but the process is the same... make one field / bit of code... and then automatically generate ('multiply') the rest.:-)
So, how?
First up download and install fmWorkMate - This is actually the trickiest part of the process, since the latest version is yet to be published (and I will correct this once published)
If you use Mac OS < Catalina you can download the fmWorkMate Bundle from the downloads page
If you use Windows you'll need to download the old Windows version from the downloads page
If you have anything else, or have any troubles, contact me, and I'll get the tool out (at last) or to you (at least)
Here are several examples to illustrate how you can use fmWorkMate to do what you wish:
The above here does not answer the question directly, rather shows how to replace fields A and B with fields C and D.
The examples are nonetheless useful and illustrative as they stand, and the techniques build on each other.
I have added example 4 as the full answer to the question below.
Example 1: From your two Buttons with A and B, create two similar buttons with C and D
In Theory:
Copy your buttons out of FileMaker (CMD+C / ctrl+c)
Convert the FileMaker objects to editable XML with fmCheckMate
Open fmCheckMate
Open fmWorkMate
Choose the fmCheckMate tool (or press CMD+2 / ctrl+2)
Press the button [Convert Clipboard FM ⭤ XML]
Or press CMD+2 / ctrl+2
Or press CMD+OPT+C / ctrl+alt+c)
And if you are not automatically changed to the XML editor view...
Press the edit button (or CMD+3 / ctrl+3) to change to the XML-Edit view
Or set up fmCheckMate to always switch to the XML editor:
fmCheckMate > Settings... > XML editor > Small editor)
Find and Replace text in the XML as needed
Replace field A with field C
Click in the [F]ind field (or press CMD+F / ctrl+F)
Type the name of the field you want to change A
Click in the [R]eplace field (or press TAB or CMD+SHIFT+F / ctrl+shift+F)
Type the name of the field you want to change to C
Replace all occurrences:
Press CMD+OPT+A / ctrl+alt+A
Or (on newer versions of fmCheckMate) Press the [R] button
Or (on older versions of fmCheckMate) Hold ALT and press the [R] button
Replace field B with field D
Repeat with B and D
Convert back to FileMaker objects
Press the [-> FM] Button (or press CMD+OPT+V / ctrl+alt+V)
Paste into FileMaker (CMD+V / ctrl+V)
Voilá!
(Or rather - oops - did we break it?)
In Practice:
For the particular example you have given - using only one-letter field names A and B - the above will break the XML and not work - because the search and replace is across the entire XML, and the letters A and B appear in various places throughout the XML and replacing them will make the XML unreadable.
However, 99.9% of the field names you will actually be replacing will be quite unique and it is turns out to rarely be a problem.
For example, if your fields were named Previous value and Current value and you wanted to change them to Previous event and Current event that would be no problem at all.
Note, however, that just replacing value with event would (probably) break the XML as well, since value is (highly likely) the name of an XML attribute too. In general: Avoid using single word search words like name, id, Layout,.
[And, of course, the table names DataA and DataB would work fine as they are unique/non-conflicting with XML tag and element names.]
Example 2: Multiply a bit of code for multiple fields
Let's say you have a list of 10 fields you want to sync:
CustomerName
Company
Street
HouseNumber
City
ZIP
Country
Item
Quantity
UnitPrice
How can we produce code for these 10 fields in a fraction of the time?
Write the code for your first field
Multiply your code
How?
First prepare fmTextMultiplier:
Start fmTextMultiplier
Open fmWorkMate
Choose the fmTextMultiplier tool
If necessary press [New] (CMD+2 / ctrl+2) to get an empty record
Paste your field list into the empty Replace field
=> Note: The first line appears in the search field
Press the button [Don't duplicate original]
=> The first line is removed from the replace field
=> fmTextMultiplier is ready to go:-)
Then
Create some code for field 1 - e.g. the field named CustomerName
Multiply the code
Copy the code out of FileMaker (CMD+C / ctrl+c)
Paste the XML into fmTextMultiplier
Click in the fmTextMultiplier Text field
Select Edit > Paste FileMaker Clipboard -> XML (or press CMD+ALT+V / ctrl+alt+V)
Click [Multiply Text x Values] (or press CMD+5 / ctrl+5)
Click [-> FM] (or press CMD+6 / ctrl+6)
Paste your code back into FileMaker
Check + tweak your code as necessary
For example, you might want to correct the field data types.
The best thing is, this same method works for field definitions, layout-fields, buttons, script steps, scripts, whatever!
Once you have set up fmTextMultiplier once you can use the same multiplier function to multiply all the different bits of code around the fields.:D
Example 3: Generating a Series of Fields
Say you are building a calendar and need a series of fields to hold the days:
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Day 5
Day 6
Day 7
Day 8
Day 9
Day 10
Day 11
Day 12
Day 13
Day 14
Day 15
Day 16
Day 17
Day 18
Day 19
Day 20
Day 21
Day 22
Day 23
Day 24
Day 25
Day 26
Day 27
Day 28
Day 29
Day 30
Day 31
Day 32
Day 33
Day 34
Day 35
Day 36
Day 37
Day 38
Day 39
Day 40
Day 41
Day 42
Gee, this is going to be hard work!
Nope!
We shall use fmTextSeries to generate the series automatically and fmTextMultiplier to multiply the Day 1 code.
Generate the list (series) of field names you need using fmTextSeries
Start a fresh fmTextSeries
Open fmWorkMate
Choose fmTextSeries tool
Press New if necessary
Enter the following values into the dialog and press OK
Text: Day 1
Times: 42
Ìncrement: 1
=> The series is already on your clipboard, ready to paste!
Prepare fmTextMultiplier
Go back to fmWorkMate (via the standard 'back' navigation):
Click the mrwatson logo
Or press CMD+1/ ctrl+1
Start a fresh fmTextMultiplier
Choose the fmTextMultiplier tool
Press New to start a new multiplication
Paste the generated field names into the Replace field
Choose [Don't duplicate original]
Multiply your code as in Example 2 above
And repeat for any other such fields - or indeed for any code you need (e.g. Day 1 Event Summary field, Calendar Reset script, Calendar picker layout, ...)
Example 4: Changing direction of Set Field[ DataA::field ; DataB::field ]
So,...
You have a script step (or a button with a script step - or even multiple buttons/steps) that sets 'field A' to 'field B' (or, in your case, a field in table DataA to a field in DataB)...
And you want to change the direction?
Easy! Use a fmCheckMate XSLT transform to swap the source and target fields around!
How?
Additionally to fmWorkMate and fmCheckMate (see above) you'll need the fmCheckMate XSLT library:
This is in the fmWorkMate Bundle from the downloads page
Or can be downloaded from MrWatson's fmCheckMate-XSLT GitHub repo
Once you have copied the fmCheckMate XSLT folder to your documents folder:
Copy the buttons (or script steps)
Convert to XML using fmCheckMate (see above)
Press the [T]ransform button
If this is the first time using fmCheckMate-XSLT the library is loaded
Note: In some (old?) Versions of the library + tool you may see loading errors here - these can be ignored as they are caused by some badly formatted XSLT files, that have no bearing on the further procedure here.
Find and perform the desired transformation
Either in list view
Browse to or find the Swap Set Field Target And Value function
Clicking the function name performs the function
Note:
Clicking other fields filters the list, so you can reduce the list to browse by
Clicking Change to show only Change functions
Clicking Script step to show only the Change Script step functions
Clicking the headers sorts the column
Or in tree view
Click [Change]
Click [Change > Script steps]
Click [Change > Script steps > Swap]
Click [Change > Script steps > Swap > Set]
-...
Click [Change > Script steps > Swap > Set > … > … > Value]
You can change views with the [View] button
Convert the XML back to FM
Paste into FileMaker
Lol! The direction has been magically changed!
Example 5: Multiplying code using TWO separate field lists
You haven't asked for this directly, but this example may save you having to ask another question.
If your FileMaker-fields and SQL-fields have slightly different names, fmTextMultiplier can deal with that too.
Say you have these FileMaker fields (in your DataA table)
CustomerName
Company
Street
HouseNumber
City
ZIP
Country
Item
Quantity
UnitPrice
And these SQL fields:
customer_name
company
street
house_number
city
zip
country
item
quantity
unit_price
And on your layout you have the two fields with labels next to each other:
CustomerName [CustomerName] customer_name [customer_name]
You can multiply these using fmTextMultiplier by using two columns:
First, you need the two columns separated by tabs (or whatever)
CustomerName customer_name
Company company
Street street
HouseNumber house_number
City city
ZIP zip
Country country
Item item
Quantity quantity
UnitPrice unit_price
Set up fmTextMultiplier like this:
Start fmTextMultiplier
Opn fmWorkMate
Choose fmTextMultiplier tool
Press [New] to start a fresh new Multiplication
Paste the above text into the Replace field
Set the Split Values # char/textfield to {{TAB}} (or your chosen delimiter)
Choose [Don't duplicate original]
Then you can multiply your code in four easy steps
Copy your code in FileMaker
Multiply it in fmTextMultiplier - as described above
Paste it into the Text field
Click in the field
Select Edit > Paste FileMaker-Clipboard -> XML
Click [Multiply Text x Values]
Click [-> FM]
Paste the code back into FileMaker
Organise the multiplied objects in your layout
OK, so step 4 is not that easy because all of the multiplied layout objects end up in a big pile on top of one another, which is a real pain to pull apart - if you started with 4 separate layout objects, that is.
On the other hand, if you...
Group the layout objects together before you copy them
You can then just
Paste the pile of objects into FileMaker
Align them horizontally and vertically on top of the original group of objects
Click somewhere to deselect the new objects
Click on the top object
Move it down the layout to the correct position
You can calculate the position = orig_top + height_between_rows * (total_number_of_rows-1)
Select all the objects - including the original one
Choose Arrange > Distribute > Vertically
Et voilá... all the rows are in exactly the correct position!
Example 6 - fmTextConverter
There is an also a tool for performing multiple conversions to a text, fmTextConverter.
So If you have some code that operates on your FileMaker-fields, and you want the same code to do the same to your SQL-fields, you can simply
Set up fmTextConverter
Open fmWorkMate
Open fmTextConverter
Press [New] to create a new text Conversion
Paste the FileMaker-field-names in the Search field
Paste the SQL-field-names in the Replace field
Then
Copy your code out of FileMaker
Convert with fmTextConverter
Paste your code into the Text field as XML
Edit > Paste FileMaker Clipboard -> XML
Press [Convert text now]
Press [-> FM]
Paste it back into FileMaker
Note: If one of your field names is a substring of another field name then the substitution will go wrong, if the substring is converted first.
fmTextConverter highlights this problem and offers a sort button, which sorts longer strings to the top, ensuring that the substring is never converted first!
Note too that fmWorkMate is highly optimised for efficient batch work - there are lots of keyboard shortcuts and settings to make repetitive work efficient.
I use different editors in eclipse and I search for a short cut to insert a date or configurable timestamp like the F5-Key in notepad.
Often I wrote text, comments and other textual stuff, where I need the actual date.
If you read my question carefully, you will realize, that templates doesn't solve my problem, because in pure text files a content assist like the Java Content Assist isn't available.
I think there is no such short cut key is given in eclipse. You can try this plugin
Open any editor and press Shift + Ctrl + D to insert current date and time. You can change the format of date and time in Windows > Preferences > Chandrayya Plugins
