I have an app I developed and made a GUI for. In one of the directories I have a log.txt file.
I have a strip menu option meant to display the log file to the user. I'm wondering what would be the best method for displaying this log file?
Right now I'm just using
notepad log.txt
Which technically works but doesn't seem to be the most efficient or professional way.
I'm guessing it is probably just opening another form with a large read only text box but on the off chance someone has something that works even better I'll appreciate the suggestion.
Info displayed in log is:
Version
Description
Date
I have a GUI for AD user creation. One of the parameters I put in is location where the user shall be created. For now I have it in a text box as a simple text (ou=subcontainer,ou=container,dc=domain,dc=com). But this is not very user friendly and I'd like to add a button there to open a browser (like the left panel if you run dsa.msc) to select the path. I found a specially created browser for that, but it's again made of the text strings, which could be confusing for low-skilled technicians. Some of the people supposed to use this script are just skilled enough to create and modify a user in a GUI, but don't have much deeper knowledge and have no idea what that string means, so I'd like to have the classical gui from active directory users and computers. I tried to search classes under system.directoryservices.activedirectory but didn't find anything that could display the dialog

Is there a browser extension for Firefox or Chrome that can copy the form fields values from one page and paste/autofill them into another page/tab containing the same or similar form? Any suggestions for another way to achieve it are welcome too.
I found a way, fairly quick. I used Firefox and the Autofill Forms addon. Having the two forms, let's call them "form1" from where I want to copy the values and paste them in "form2", I had to execute manually the following steps:
Open form1
Right click in an input field and choose "Add complete form as profile ..."
Delete the "Site url" text and press Enter
Open form2
Press "Alt+J" to fill out the form.
From the Chrome side...

Right click and copy one form, right click and paste the other. I've used a few extensions for copying forms to and fro and they usually copy ALL forms on the page and then restore a bunch of data you don't want to restore. This one grabs just what you want and restores it.
Making a word document of our network set-up.
We have about 7 servers and I need to include screenshots and other info on each.
Is it possible to have a pic of the server that when clicked will open up another word doc that reveals all of the other info. Can this then be mailed to someone easily?
I think that you should have actually tried to do it in Word before asking. The answer is trivial. For completeness sake:
Right-click on the image, choose "Hyperlink..." from the menu. Select the document you want from the resulting standard file selection dialog.
That's it. Doing ctrl-click on the pickture will open up the document selected though you will probably get a security warning first.
You can also do it from a VBA macro. First select the desired image and then:
ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection.Range, Address:= _
"C:\Users\me\Documents\a-document.doc", SubAddress:=""
So you could automate the process of server discovery (or maybe you have the data in a spreadsheet that you could use), adding images and hyperlinks automatically. Probably not worth it for just 7 servers.
I'm not clear what you mean by the last part about emailing. Do you want to email the Master word document or the one opened after clicking on the hyperlink? Either way, Word has a menu option for doing this.
If you are wanting to send the document that is opened from the hyperlink - do you actually need the user to open that document or would you rather email it directly? A simple macro can be written that will ask you for the target email address and send the document directly without having to open it. There are really too many possibilities to write down here - we need more information.
Network analysis by Chrome when page loads
I would like to export this data to Microsoft Excel so that I will have a list of similar data when loaded at different times. Loading a page one time doesn't really tell me much especially if I want to compare pages.
if you right click on any of the rows you can export the item or the entire data set as HAR which appears to be a JSON format.
It shouldn't be terribly difficult to script up something to transform that to a csv if you really need it in excel, but if you're already scripting you might as well just use the script to ask your questions of the data.
If anyone knows how to drive the "load page, export data" part of the process from the command line I'd be quite interested in hearing how
from Chrome 76, you have Import/Export buttons.
I was trying to copy the size data measured from Chrome Network and stumbled on this post. I just found an easier way to "export" the data out to excel which is to copy the table and paste to excel.
The trick is click Control + A (select all) and once the entire table will be highlighted, paste it to Microsoft Excel. The only issue is if there are too many fields, not all rows are copied and you might have to copy and paste several times.
UPDATED: I found that copying the data only works when I turn off the filter options (the funnel-looking button above the table). – bendur
Right-click and export as HAR, then view it using Jan Odvarko's HAR Viewer
This helps in visualising the already captured HAR logs.
I came across the same problem, and found that easier way is to undock the developer tool's video to a separate window! (Using the right hand top corner toolbar button of developer tools window)
and in the new window , simply say select all and copy and paste to excel!!
In Chrome, in the Developer Tools, under Network, in the Name column, right-click and select "Save as HAR with content". Then open a new tab, go to https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/har_analyzer/ and open the saved HAR file.
Note that ≪Copy all as HAR≫ does not contain response body.
You can get response body via ≪Save as HAR with Content≫, but it breaks if you have any more than a trivial amount of logs (I tried once with only 8k requests and it doesn't work.) To solve this, you can script an output yourself using _request.contentData().
When there's too many logs, even _request.contentData() and ≪Copy response≫ would fail, hopefully they would fix this problem. Until then, inspecting any more than a trivial amount of network logs cannot be properly done with Chrome Network Inspector and its best to use another tool.
You can use fiddler web debugger to import the HAR and then it is very easy from their on... Ctrl+A (select all) then Ctrl+c (copy summary) then paste in excel and have fun
I don't see an export or save as option.
I filtered out all the unwanted requests using -.css -.js -.woff then right clicked on one of the requests then Copy > Copy all as HAR
Then pasted the content into a text editor and saved it.
I had same issue for which I came here. With some trials, I figured out for copying multiple pages of chrome data as in the question I zoomed out till I got all the data in one page, that is, without scroll, with very small font size. Now copy and paste that in excel which copies all the records and in normal font.
This is good for few pages of data I think.
In more modern versions of Chrome you can just drag a .har file into the network tab of Chrome Dev Tools to load it.
To get this in excel or csv format- right click the folder and select "copy response"- paste to excel and use text to columns.
You can try use Haiphen, which is a chrome extension that allows you to analyze network traffic and what API calls a web application is making.
