Advanced Amazon Search Engine Scripts for JAWS

Using Windows Explorer in a local folder, in a network folder, or in an remote FTP folder, this JAWS script will do the following:

1. Take the currently selected file or folder name, including the desired sub-folder names,
2. Convert them to a query string by running a sudo regular expression on each character to strip out invalid characters,
3. Then send the query to The Advanced Amazon Search Engine, where the service will look up the desired item.

The JAWS header navigation commands will then allow you to jump directly to the desired info, such as Editor Review for descriptions, or to read public reviews.

This is particularly useful for looking up book descriptions and reviews, but the following categories are available for different types of collections:

• Books
• Classical Music
• DVD and Videos
• MP3 Downloads for individual tracks
• Music for all music

1. You have a main folder where you keep your library of audio books, the path being
   Y:\\Library\Audio Books
2. Within this folder, you have a group of sub folders that indicate the author's name, and type of material, such as
   Martin, George R. R. - (Fantasy)
3. In wich, you have more subfolders such as
   Song of Ice and Fire (series)
4. And within this folder, you have another folder named
   1 - A Game of Thrones (Unabridged, MP3, 128KBPS)

So, to look up the description and review of this book, you would do the following:

1. Go to the root folder
   Y:\\Library\Audio Books using Windows Explorer;
2. Then activate the SetBaseFolder script to set this folder as the top level base path; This path is saved to an ini file, so it need only be done once until you wish to use another folder instead.
3. Open the folder
   Martin, George R. R. - (Fantasy) ;
4. Then open the folder
   Song of Ice and Fire (series)
   and arrow down to
   1 - A Game of Thrones (Unabridged, MP3 128KBPS) ;
5. Now activate the ParseBook script to look up A Game of Thrones (book 1 of the Song of Ice and Fire series), by George R. R. Martin within the Books category.

To select different countries and category choices on the fly, simply use the SetLocale and SetCategory scripts.

1. Open any folder using Windows Explorer, and press Insert+0 to open the Script Manager;
2. Paste the contents of the downloaded text file into the bottom of the script file;
3. Go line by line through the constant declarations to set up your defaults, then set up hotkeys for each of the scripts by pressing Control+D on each;
4. Press Control+S to save the scripts, and close the Script Manager.
