Most of the developers have the need to take a file and put it into "printf" statements for output to the screen. With the advent of the World Wide Web and home pages, there is a number of tools to create web pages.

Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs are used to react to html form data, perform some backend function (such as look up data in a database) and create on-the-fly html for display back to the calling web browser.

Unfortunately, creating that html for the CGI output is usually done by hand and is very tedious and time-consuming. The tools used to create web pages don't do very good when their output cannot be readily used for CGI output.

JHtml2Printf will help a lot in that aspect. It can take any text file and output a file with wrapper printf statements around each line.

These formatted output lines can be cut and pasted into a 'C' CGI program file. In this manner you can use the web page development tools you like for developing the CGI output you want.

Here are some key features of "JHtml2Printf":

· Uses Drag and Drop for the file to generate printf output for
· Output file extension (default is .dat) can be set to whatever you want via a menu option.
· Small and compact.
· Printf statement (default is 'printf') can be set to whatever you want via a menu option.
· Saves configuration information (file extension,printf statement, etc) to the .properties file.
· Register /Report Bugs / Suggest Enhancements On-Line.
· Now in JAVA for use on systems other than Microsoft Windows.
· Self extracting: jar file contains all files needed for use.
· Shows converted data in window. Allows you to edit the data prior to saving it.
· Help documentation is included.


Requirements:

· Java needs to be installed and available on your system. The minimum Java version is 1.3
