Super -- yeah, there's no doubt this isn't all that hard an app to write, but i have 0 programming skills with which to do so.

Here's the type of functionality and interface I had in mind -- of course anyone's free to create their own, but maybe this will be of some guidance.

1) It should have a basic "select files" option from either a dropdown menu or a button on the main GUI, which would bring up a window that lets the user select the files to be filtered.

2) It should also have checkboxes on the main page that correspond to each of the 6 (or however many) sites that this will work with, so you can tell the program which site's HHs it will be looking at, because I'm guessing the reading and parsing of the HHs will have to be slightly different for each -- personally, I'd like to see it be able to handle UB, Pacific, Stars, FTP, and Prima. THis differentiation is needed, because, for example, the format that Gametime+ spits out UB HHs in is one big amalgamated text file with 300 HHs, whereas the Pacific Handgrabber program creates individual text files with one hand each.

3) Lastly, it should have a "desired output folder" field, where the user could specify what folder he wants the 'filtered' HHs to be put in. They could either be separated into single text files with one HH per file, or kept (or converted in Pacific's case) in amalgamated text files with many HHs per file. One quick caveat if it's the latter: I once used a free text amalgamation program that I found on the web to take 500 Stars HHs, and amalgamate them all into a single TXT file with all 500 HHs in it. I then tried to import this combined file into PT, but found that whatever the amalgamator had done in combining the files, it had rendered it unreadable to PT (I can't figure out why, because all it did was insert a line of space, no characters, between each HH in the amalgamated file). Anyway, I just bring that up as a quick caveat that just dumping all the text into a TXT file doesn't mean PT will be able to read it all.
