Just the same program from the front page of the database. I update it frequently, but I don’t change the front page to reflect that. Right-click on the ring icon and choose Help see what version you are running... it should be "Cubic". If not, update.

Ok, so let’s see if it works. Returned, Mad Thing, Now Perfected.

Awesome! Have a GP Kralik.

Without respite my blood will flow

Here come the acronyms! Whenever I program something, I like to think of ways to do things automatically rather than entering everything in by hand. So I wrote a program to turn every card title into an acronym! Then, it removed any doubles. The end result is that now you can use the AutoLinker to refer to cards such as Nine Fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom as NFFatRoD. Citadel of the Stars = CotS, Anduril, Sword that Was Broken = STWB, etc. All of the abbreviations in the stickied thread are covered!

Releasing version "Nein":
--Autolinks to sets indexes by either the full title or set abbreviations
--Autolinks to cards by acronym abbreviations
--Commas in card titles are now optional (eg. So Fair So Desperate)
--Cards with dashes can be linked with either dashes or spaces (eg. Red Faced Landlord or Red-Faced Landlord)

Usage examples:
Aragorn, Well-Traveled Guide = Aragorn WTG = WTG
Gollum, Mad Thing = Gollum MT but not plain MT (Mad Thing or Mountain-Troll?)
Galadriel, Lady Redeemed = Lady Redeemed = LR
Realms of the Elf-Lords = RotEL

Note: Black Rider refers to the card, BR or Black Rider* refers to the set.

If you feel like trying acronyms for random cards, know that card titles with the most words are the most likely to work. No cards with only one word were abbreviated (eg. Use Thorongil, not Aragorn, T). Many cards with only two words had identical initials to another card and so the abbreviations were automatically removed. Some things I had to write in manually. For example, Isildur’s Bane = Ithilien Blade, so since they share the same initials, neither was added. I added IB myself to refer to the obvious one. ToTO refers to the Nazzie mentioned in the abbreviations thread.

Note that it could link to cards in regular sentences, as you’ve no doubt noticed. For example:
"My dad and I decided to go fishing. So, we each grabbed a fishing rod and started heading down the forest paths to our favorite waterhole. Unfortunately, we got stuck in a bog! I’m afraid I had to bow out of the whole idea. Hungry and weary, we returned home. I hate getting muddy."

I don’t anticipate having much else to do on this program except bug and typo fixes. We’ll have to see how it works! Dancing Let me know if there are any particular abbreviations you want me to add that were removed due to doubling, or or if it’s linking words that it shouldn’t. Enjoy!

Great work, Kralik! GP Let’s test a couple of abbreviated cards....

WoBaS, DaD, and STWB are commonly seen in my decks.

Awesome! Very Happy
I had to put something here.

Wow. Um...

Shocked

Thanks man, but, just a question, do you have any other life besides programming for CC? (I’m completely fine with it if you don’t. Mr. Green)

Ah, thanks for the check ES! Cool Expect to see a bug fix release later, probably today. Wink

I love that cards like at, orc, hot, son, bow, etc. get linked... I knew this would happen! Razz
