Google Ads - Added 12/21/2008
- Yes, there are google ads at the top and the bottom. This has changed the layout of the page a
little bit. I ask that you support the stripping engine and do what you need to do to make
those ads work for me! :D
(I cant tell you exactly what to do with the ads cause Google
doesn't like that.)
Engine Updates / Database optimization - Added 12/21/2008
- I've made some updates to the stripping engine to account for some of the new release groups. I
also reduced the database size by 40%. This should improve the performance of the NFO stripping
engine and should further allow me to expand the engine to have more capabilities.
Optimized Engine - Added 09/05/2008
- I optimized the stripping engine some and did some maintenance to fix some bugs. I also changed
the way some stats are processed to try and cut back on resource usage.
Added / Modified Filters - Added 07/18/2008
- Today I added a filter that detects borders with reverse characters. Such as / and \ or < and >
or \ and /. This allows for more accurate border stripping. I also added more specific lines to
the removal file. All lines being removed can be looked at
remove.txt.
Thanks!
Image Conversion - Added 07/14/2008
- Yes, you can now convert the nfo to an IMAGE!!! Yes, an IMAGE!!! It can be done with our
without the stripping enabled. Due to just life and server resources, I am no longer enforcing
a bunch of rules on the NFO stripping engine. It can now be used by anyone. If you can figure
out the POST method please feel free to use it in your program.
I will be recoding this
from scratch pretty soon to optimize the code and make it run better.
Thanks!
Improvements Made - Added 07/13/2008
- Well, I just got finished rearranging some code and redoing some of the logic on the stripping
engine. Now the line breaks should be removed quite a bit cleaner and should allow for a more
spaced out look instead of data on some NFO's getting rammed together. Also, Nympho releases
are now having headers stripped out properly. I'm going to continue to make improvements as I
watch the NFO's being stripped before and afters.
Few improvements - Added 07/13/2008
- Well, After looking at some NFOs that are being stripped im finding spelling errors and more.
So, I'm going to be adding a few new features including automatic spell checking and more
detection for section headers during BBCode integration.
NFO Stripper for Windows - Added 02/24/2008
- I present the NFO Stripper Client for Windows. Available under the downloads section about 2
lines above this.
NFO Stripper v1.1 - Added 02/22/2008
- Yes, There is a new version of my NFO Stripper out for Linux. It is version 1.1 and relies upon
NO curl libraries. ONLY standard C libraries which are included in every Linux distribution by
default.
Pesky single lines - Added 02/19/2008
- Ya know those pesky single lines that no NFO stripper can get. I really hate those. So now,
there is a filter specifically for those pesky lines. If you have a pesky line you want added
to the filter send an e-mail to 'admin AT nexcast DOT net' or submit a bug report.
Improved algorithms - Added 02/19/2008
- I've improved a few of the algorithms used to remove bad content. Specifically the placement of
the atripped by line, the key stripping, and the ASCII border removal :shifty eyes:.
Downloads - Added 02/18/2008
- There is now a download posted
nfostrip.tar.gz. This is a
linux native binary (x86) that allows you to strip an NFO and get the results with a single
command. A Readme is included that contains all the documentation you should need. This program
comes with an auto-generated passkey compiled right into the code.
Want to use this engine? - Added 02/17/2008
- As of now I am giving out passkeys so that individual users can use this system in an automated
uploading system or in an application that is used to auto-upload or auto-create torrents.
Please send an e-mail to 'admin AT nexcast DOT net' if you would like to get one of these keys.
They are free for end users.
Advanced Statistics - Added 02/08/2008
- I've added in a few more statistics to allow for a better look at just how much work this NFO
stripper does. Thanks!
Del.icio.us Bookmark - Added 02/05/2008
- I figured I would make the site easier to bookmark so there is now a del.icio.us link at the
top of the page. Thanks for all of your support everyone!
NFO Stripping from a URL - Added 02/05/2008
- This feature was added by popular request. You can now specify a url in the following format:
'[http|ftp]://[user:pass@]domain.com/directory/file.nfo' Thanks guys!
Protection - Added 02/01/2008
- Courtesy of some naughty people. I am setting up some protections to make sure people don't hot
link or POST directly to the nfo.html page. Thank you!
Installation Key Stripping - Added 12/27/2007
- I can now strip out all sorts of installation keys. The key is replaced with X's. If I have a
problem please file a bug report.
Border Detection - Added 12/16/2007
- I know how to detect borders that are left over and strip them out. Right now I only strip out
borders that use certain characters.
BB Code Formatting - Added 12/14/2007
- I know how to format certain things into BB Code to make it more readable in a forum. Required
BB Tags: [pre][b][url] (more are to come)
ASCII Stripping
- I strip out all ASCII characters below 0x20 and above 0x7E
Line Trimming
- I remove all excessive spaces before and after I do my ASCII stripping
Character Detection
- I check every line for a certain number of distinct characters. If I dont find a certain number
of distinct characters, I remove the line.
Symbol Detection
- If I find that a line is comprised of over a certain percentage of symbols, I remove the line.
Line Break Correction
- After I have done everything above if a line is still empty and shouldn't be I check the lines
around it and see if I need to correct the line breaks
