Zenit-Wiki Search by Ezadkiel Marbella: 

CmdUtils.CreateCommand({
 name: "zenit/wiki specific search:",
 takes: {"search zenit/wiki term": noun_arb_text},
 preview: function( pblock, wikiquery ) {
   pblock.innerHTML = "Will Search For: " + wikiquery.text;
 },
 execute: function( wikiquery ) {
  var url = "http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Special:Search?search={QUERY}&go=Go"
  var query = wikiquery.text;
  var urlString = url.replace("{QUERY}", query);
  Utils.openUrlInBrowser(urlString);
 }
})

This is my submission. I am assuming we are encouraged to reuse code wherever possible. When using the search it is recommended that you separate the terms by + signs as that is what the goggle interface inserts between search terms. I found that it works when spaces are used as well though.

   var printURL = wikiHome + "?title=" + wikiTitle + "&printable=yes";

   Utils.openUrlInBrowser( printURL );
 }

    } // preview
  }
)

I'll probably continue to work on it. Add some dynamic CSS to the preview div.

So I reused Ezadkiel Marbella's code and made code for searching cnet.com. this thing is so much fun I am thinking about making something else too.

  query = query.replace("+", " ");
  var urlString = url.replace("{QUERY}", query);
  Utils.openUrlInBrowser(urlString);

For this lab I was interested to see whether or not it would be possible to run a delayed command under Ubiquity. I've recently
been dealing with threads and sleeping them in C++.

At first I attempted something along the lines of:


CmdUtils.CreateCommand({
  name: "Timer",
  author: "Scott Lunel",
  takes: {"Time": noun_arb_text},
  preview: "A simple timer that executes a message to the user after the entered time period.",
  execute: function(directObj) {
    var start = new Date().getTime();
    var cur = start;
    var secDuration = start + parseInt(directObj.text);

    while(parseInt(cur) < parseInt(secDuration)){
      cur = new Date().getTime();
    }

    displayMessage( "Time's Up!" );
    
  }
})


However this wasn't exactly what I was looking for because it caused the browser to freeze while the command was running.

I did a little more looking and found this method instead:

CmdUtils.CreateCommand({
  name: "Timer",
  author: "Scott Lunel",
  takes: {"Time": noun_arb_text},
  preview: "A simple timer that executes a message to the user after the entered time period.",
  execute: function(directObj) {

    Utils.setTimeout(function() { displayMessage("Time's Up!"); }, parseInt(directObj.text)); 
    
  }
})


--- Unlike the previous command, it will not freeze the browser while the timed command is being performed.
