macOS Where can I ask for some program?

That's the question. Is there any webpage along the internet where you can ask for some program? (It's pretty simple, I know how to do it with MATLAB in less than 4 minutes)
The perfect solution would be an .html document which let's you paste some text and then processes it.
But Applescript, or even Automator could work.

In short, if you could tell me a website where I can ask for a little program in .html, Applescript or Automator, I would really appreciate it

Thank you!

PS: the text contains "words" with three numbers separated by commas, colons or dots (e.g., 13.16.30, for the example A.B.C). On other place I need to input a different (global) number (D). And then the "application" or script should take that text, and that number, select the words with that pattern A.B.C or A:B:C, and for each of those words, give you links like:


where the number D is global (so should have a place to input it, different fron the whole text).

PS2: in MATLAB I know how to do it if the text contains only those kind of words. So if it's difficult to "select" them from a whole text, you could think that the text contains only those words.

Thanks for the fast answer.

The reason why I would really like it to be an .html (or something that runs from any web browser) is that I need it everywhere and on different machines. And if I get that, then put it in Dropbox and use it wherever I want.
But I know nothing about .html or some "web language", even less about forums about that subject. And that's basically what I'm asking.

In second place, if the html solution doesn't come up, then I think some applescript would work.

Thank you for the answer, and that could really work in a machine with sed installed, but not everywhere :S

@ArtOfWarfare It's okey, I will look into sed. I wrote "man sed" in my terminal and gave me nothing. That's why I wrote about installing it. I have done it again just now and it works... I don't know what I wrote before.

@960design considering that I'm a begginer in MATLAB and took me 6 minutes to do it, I hope that in a place where people know how html works it could be done for free.

By the way, the main question remains. Any html forum or community where this small request could fit and be done? If not, any AppleScript one?

The problem with the applescript is that I should be in a Mac and that it couldn't be done automatically in a new computer. The optimal solution is an html file (which I would put in Dropbox) and then, in any machine with internet, open that webpage, paste a text, write the number D, click a button and have a bunch of links.

Mmm... I don't really think this fits there (it's not a question since I know nothing, it's more like a request). I have been for some time in that (nice) place, and the reason to come here to ask is that I think this question is not really appropriate there.

Thank you.

That's perfect. I wasn't really expecting anything here, but to get an address of a forum. But instead I got it. Thank you.

It needs some tweaks, but I can NOW go to StackOverflow, just to ask small questions.

Thank you!

EDIT: Well I say what the problem is here so may be you can solve it.
The links are right, but the ideal is to have clickable links (and even better if they automatically open in a NEW TAB).
And just to say, if all the fonts were Lucida that could be great

I want clickable links. And, the perfect thing would be that when I click on them they open a new tab (in front), I explain later.

And thanks for the monospace tip, I will edit the .CSS (with TextMate, which is the editor I'm familiar with).

Here it is the workflow.

1. User collects info from a source, and writes down the triplets on a .txt file (or in a mail or wherever). And calculates the D number. This has nothing to do with the program, but just to add info.
2. User enters a value for D.
3. User enters or pastes in a series of lines containing triplets.
4. User presses "Process" button.
5. The textarea below the "Process" button is cleared, and the contents is replaced by a series of lines with the replacement strings given in the first post.
6. The user visit each of those links and do a small business there.
7. And it's over. The next time, with new data, the user goes through another list of triplets and a different number D.

The idea of this programs is to make it easy to visit each of those links. Instead of clicking and writing on a webpage, you write those triplets, calculate the D number, click process and there you have the links automatically.
The next (and, I think, last) step is to make those links clickable. As the user has to go into all of them, to save more time, the point 6. of the list could be expanded (and detailed) like this

1. User clicks on first link.
2. New tab is opened and automatically placed on screen (I mean, the tab should be opened in front).
3. User do a small business there.
4. User presses CMD + W to close that tab and go back to the list of links (the "app").
5. And then the second link, and all the same for all the rest of generated links.

I hope I made myself clear.
Thank you really much for your attention.

Doesn't matter if the text content and the href are the same.
But I think it's better to have the text content as the triplets.

And, yes, as you say, then it isn't a "textarea".

MATLAB is unsatisfactory because I don't have it anywhere, and, even at home, I need to open MATLAB to process a .txt file. With an .html, I just need to open it in the browser (which is almost always open), and it isn't necessary a .txt (can be a copied text).

That's it. I guess there's nothing more. I've been trying it and works ideally (with my MATLAB solution I just got an .html with the links, with the same href as the text content, and with no spacing...). This is beautiful, well organized, and, of course, useful. If I find something more I will tell you.

Thank you very much!
