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.

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.
