win32-doc md files

https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/win32
MS Win32 help files in md-format.

Test program just open zip-file and check all md-files for "api_name:" keywords.

At first might be better just to extract one folder and zip it again for testing.

One full test 58416 files.

Keyword test for keywords

Code Select Expand

int ParseFile(char *pMem, int nSize, char *szFile, int nLen, int nIdx)
{
char *pPtr, *pPtr1, *pPtr2;
pPtr = strstr(pMem, "api_name:"); // CRT
//pPtr = StrStr(pMem, "api_name:"); // shlwapi.dll
if (pPtr) {
printf("%s\t", szFile);
pPtr += 9; // pass
while (*pPtr != 10) pPtr++;
pPtr++;
pPtr1 = pPtr;
pPtr2 = pPtr;
//*(pPtr+10) = 0;
do {
while (*pPtr2 != 10) pPtr2++;
*pPtr2 = 0; // cut to newline
printf("%s ", pPtr1);
pPtr2++;
pPtr1 = pPtr2;
} while (*pPtr2 == '-');
printf("\n");
} else printf("%s\n", szFile);
return 0;

Hi TimoVJL.

Here is a SQLITE3 database and some crude sample code to access it.  The DB3 file is 7Z inside of the project zip so it must be un7z'd into the application directory.  The DB contains the API NAMES your utility identified in the WIN32-docs.zip downloaded from GitHub. For each* API NAME it contains the path within the ZIP files needed to extract the .md file for the API so that the .md file can be viewed. A small dialog is used for the demo.

*This is just a first pass as the WIN32-Docs was not consistent in file naming, so there are some names it will not yet work on.  This can be handled if the project seems to be of value by making multiple queries for a given API name trying each of the various filename formats.

There is a readme in the project directory as well.

A your example provide, that MS help file is just useless.

Last locally working help file is from 2019-09-05

After that, just pile of shi....
