Export of all notebook files as text files


I want to export all my notebook files located in a root directory as text files.



Below is a simple code that I use.


Ho can I export "only" the necessary text content of each notebook file?


ChoiceDialog[{FileNameSetter[Dynamic[imageDir], "Directory"], 
Dynamic[imageDir]}];
notebookFiles = FileNames["*.nb", imageDir, Infinity]
num = Length[notebookFiles];

Table[
file = notebookFiles[[i]];
notebookText = Import[file, "Text"];

Export[StringJoin[StringTake[file, StringLength[file] - 2], "txt"],
notebookText]
, {i, 1, num}
];

E.g.:


If I have a notebook file with the following content:


a = 10;

then the corresponding text files contains:



(* Content-type: application/vnd.wolfram.mathematica *)

(*** Wolfram Notebook File ***)
(* http://www.wolfram.com/nb *)

(* CreatedBy='Mathematica 10.4' *)

(*CacheID: 234*)
(* Internal cache information:
NotebookFileLineBreakTest

NotebookFileLineBreakTest
NotebookDataPosition[ 158, 7]
NotebookDataLength[ 941, 38]
NotebookOptionsPosition[ 698, 25]
NotebookOutlinePosition[ 1046, 40]
CellTagsIndexPosition[ 1003, 37]
WindowFrame->Normal*)

(* Beginning of Notebook Content *)
Notebook[{

Cell[BoxData[
RowBox[{
RowBox[{"a", "=", "10"}], ";"}]], "Input",
CellChangeTimes->{{3.670749642550244*^9, 3.6707496447180743`*^9}}]
},
WindowSize->{1092, 1175},
WindowMargins->{{Automatic, 238}, {Automatic, 0}},
FrontEndVersion->"10.4 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (February 25, 2016)",
StyleDefinitions->"Default.nb"
]

(* End of Notebook Content *)

(* Internal cache information *)
(*CellTagsOutline
CellTagsIndex->{}
*)
(*CellTagsIndex
CellTagsIndex->{}
*)
(*NotebookFileOutline

Notebook[{
Cell[558, 20, 136, 3, 31, "Input"]
}
]
*)

(* End of internal cache information *)

Instead I only would like to create a text file with:


a=10;


Answer



How about:


Export[
StringDrop[path, -2] <> "txt",
StringRiffle[
NotebookImport[path, "Input" -> "InputText"],
"\n"
]
]

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...
