#7316 — code base(not a technical question)

I have a lot of code snippets in my system which I mostly use during development. Is there any tool(like VSS though I don't need version control) in which I can store them and later get whenever I need ?

I don't quite understand: if you do not need revision control, you can 
store them anywhere - or put them into an archive.  You could even 
compile them and package sources and class files into a JAR.

Kind regards

This is like thousands of text files containing code and explanation. This is impossible to retrieve efficiently.

I need something which will tag something in a text file and store it. By searching in, I will get the code.

You're basically talking about an (enterprise) content management
system, or (E)CMS. One of the main things they do is store documents for
efficient search and retrieval by metadata (properties or keywords) and
content. There are a large number of free (and often open-source) CMSs
out there - you've probably heard of Drupal and Alfresco, to mention two
out of dozens.

I am sure that they can do it.

But using Alfresco to be able to search a few thousand text
files may be a bit of an overkill.

Granted. I wouldn't necessarily recommend IBM FileNet either. :-)

Still, my general observation stands: Asit is basically asking for CMS
functionality. He can get that by writing his own, or by locating a
minimal existing CMS solution.

When I need to locate some code I've already written, I use grep.

Write a little Java app that can generate and search a full
text index of the files content in a database.

Optionally the files themselves can be stored in the database
as well.

I use such a tool for all the example code I have written over the
years.

Depending upon your development environment, you could search <my 
development environment>+code+snippet.
When I search Eclipse+code+snippet, I get references to Snippet View and 
Template View. Thanks, I wasn't even aware of them.
When I search emacs+code+snippet, I get yasnippet and Textmate.

Another Eclipse feature you're post reminded me of is the Java Scrapbook 
Page. Thanks I had forgotten it.

Thank you everybody for reading my query and suggesting me.

This is what I do now.
I have a folder named Java. In this folder code snippets are stored in small text files. File name is what the snippet is about. 
e.g.:-
CounDownLatch.java
HorseRace.java
SingletonThreaSafe.java

What I need is every file should be associated with some index string, which is search able.

Again grep can't help me as I use Windows 7 for development environment.

I'm sure, there's also "grep" for Windows (7, like any other).

But then, grep wouldn't satisfy your needs, anyway, as you'd better 
find some kind of fuzzy-search-engine.  A non-fuzzy search wouldn't
find anything for "Count" or "Thread" among the snippets you named...

PS: I'm being serious here. If your spelling isn't all that good,
  then you're going to have a hard time later, trying to figure
  out with what spelling errors you might have stored a particular
  snippet some time ago. A fuzzy search may then be a big help.

For this kind of thing I have created text files and imported them in Access 
which I can then search with a query.  Typically my text file is text in the 
first 75 columns and a page number in  columns 77 to 80.  Later on I filled 
in the book title so I could combine all the text files into one DB.  I did 
this because I found the indexes in books to be inadequate.

grep and other unix tools are of course available for Windows.

I don't understand what you think you're going to build the index string 
with.  What goes in the index string?  All symbols in the file?  Just 
the file names?  Please be as specific as possible.


For example, here's a code snippet:

hw.java:
package simple;
public class Hello {
   public static void Main( String... args ) {
     System.out.println( "Hello world" );
   }
}

What precisely would go in your index string for this example?

You can use "find" for that in the Windows shell.

However, I would just create an Eclipse project where I put all those 
files and use Eclipse's text search (which is pretty fast).  You could 
even do something like

/*
  * Search index
  *
  * keyword: thread
  * keyword: list
  */

somewhere in the file and then do a regexp search for "keyword:\s*thread"

Kind regards

You could just store them as files in a directory tree. What other
service do you need?

I converted my snippets onto a set of classes in a private package/jar 
file, documented it using Javadoc and put the lot under CVS to provide a 
bit of fat-finger protection. I thought that was what most programmers do.
