I’ve been a fan of Zhorn Software’s Stickies<\/a> for Windows, but now that I’ve switched to a Mac, I need to get all those stickies back. <\/p>\n

First I had to find the stickies file on my Windows Laptop, located under C:\\Documents and Settings\\[YOUR NAME]\\Application Data\\stickies\\stickies.ini. I copied that to my Mac and wrote this little perl script to convert the stickies file to a bunch of little text files.<\/p>\n

#!\/usr\/bin\/perl -w <\/code> <\/p>\n


\nmkdir('stickies');
\n$i = 1;<\/code><\/p>\n


\nwhile (<>)
\n{
\n s\/.*\\\\fs20(.*)\\\\par\\^M\\}\\^M$\/$1\/;
\n s\/\\\\par\\^M\/\\n\/g;
\n# s\/\\r\\n\/\/g;
\n s\/\\\\\\{\/\\{\/g;
\n s\/\\\\\\}\/\\}\/g;
\n s\/\\\\f[01]\/\/g;
\n s\/^\\s+\/\/g;<\/code>
\n
\n open(NOTE, \">stickies\/$i.txt\");
\n print NOTE $_;
\n close(NOTE);
\n<\/code>
\n
\n $i++;
\n}
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

I ran it with
\n
\nperl stickies.pl < stickies.ini\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Then I ran Stickies and went to File > Import Text. I selected all files in the stickies folder and hit open. <\/p>\n

Tada! My surrogate brain is back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
