Using the Code
In order to download this program, you can go to the releases page and download the latest build, or alternatively you can always download the latest release here: Latest Release Download.
In order to build it yourself, simply download the source code and open the physicsEvents.sln in Visual Studio. You will be able to edit anything to your heart's content. As this program is written under the GNU-GPLv3, you must abide by that license whenever you work with the source code itself. You can publish anything you want, as long as it isn't closed source, and you must credit me for my code that you use in your project.
Once you have the latest build, run the .exe file. Upon first launch, you will be instructed to change the path and the name of the file, and you can only progress once you have set both of those values. You will then be greeted with a few options, running the program, modifying the settings, and quitting. Choose accordingly.
The syntax of the path is as follows: c:\users\kees wolterstorff\desktop\ You must have a trailing backslash, you must have the drive letter, and this is not case-sensitive. The syntax of the path is slightly different, as it is case-sensitive, and will always be written to .docx file. As such, you are encouraged to omit the .docx part of the name, lest you want the file to be called filename.docx.docx.
Once you have modified the settings to your heart's content, you can now run the program. To do so, press 1 and enter at the main menu, and enter the dates you want to look at.
Note: the dates you enter here have to follow a certain syntax, but it isn't very strict. The program will advise you to put it in MM/DD format, but it can also understand MM/DD/YYYY format. To find all the formats it will accept, look here: .NET DateTime Syntax.
If the date you've entered causes the program to crash, then that means that whatever you entered is not in the correct formatting. Re-run the program and re-do it to get the desired result.
Once you've entered both the start and end dates, the program will take a few seconds while it parses the information you want, and will output it to a .docx file in the location and of the name you chose earlier. This completes the task of the program.
