Waiting for work to be completed by coder. Max Accepted Bid: Bidding is closed Project Type: Small Business Project: $100 (USD) + Bidding Type: Open Auction Categories: C++ / C, Delphi Enter chat room for this bid request (0 active users at Jul 8, 2003 5:06:32 PM EDT) Description: I would like an application that when opened automatically searches for and displays (unencrypted) the index.dat files on a computer. This app should also have an export function that exports the information inside the dat files to a readable format. The app should have a preview pane that loads any of the urls that are single clicked. Those urls should be opened in your default browser when double-clicked. Menu items - The only menu items should be a search function that searches through the index.dat file entries for specific words in the urls found. And also an 'Export' button. That's it. Cookie, Internet, and History dat files can all be opened at once in the same window if it's too much work to have the option of opening them separately. Additionally there should be a url coded into the app (plainly visible) that says... Protect Your Privacy - Click Here To Erase All Of This Information. What I'm wondering... Is there a way to randomly insert the destination url for that link through a separate app? Clearer explanation... [] Two apps. [] One opens and can export index.dat files. [] The second app can open the first app and change the destination url of the link inside of it that says... Protect Your Privacy - Click Here To Erase All Of This Information. If you can create icons for the apps then great but if not I can do that for you. If you have questions about any of this please contact me for additional information. Here is the url of a working index.dat viewer similar to what I want. Not sure what language it was written in. Don't need a clone of this program just something close with the functionality described above. http://www.exits.ro/index-dat-viewer.html That's just to give you a visual clue as to what I'm looking for. Thanks. Deliverables: 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
