    Default How to delete hands from a certain player before a certain date?

    Hi,

    I've about 30k hands on a certain regular who has recently started changing his game dramatically, how do I delete his old data before say last month so my HUD reflects his new style of play?
    TIA

    You can delete the hands FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Purge Hands which will update your reports but until we build the cache rebuilder your hud stats wont refresh the changes unless you export and reimport all those hands into a new database

    This will not work because it delete hands from almost all players; Except the selected one...

    Can u add an option: "Delete ONLY hands from THIS player" ?!


    Tks,

    Icaro

    Hi Icaro - This procedure will achieve what you want

    Download & install this free program (npp 5.7) (The green button is the easy one to install) :
    >> http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad-plus/files/
    You will be using it to edit your raw HH's, but as a precaution against mistakes copy all your C:\HMArchive HH .txt files to a new folder

    ###
    IN THE npp PROGRAM & USING THE .TXTs IN THE NEW FOLDER:

    Open ALL the .txt files that date before July 2010 (open them with npp)

    npp menu bar > Search > Replace > The 'Replace' dialog box appears

    In the 'Find what:' field type 'playerX' EXACT screen name
    [best to copy/paste his SN from a HH to be sure it's exact]

    In the 'Replace with:' field type 'playerY' (which is a screen name you have invented. But it's important to use a name that doesn't exist already in your HH's)

    Check the 'Match Case' box

    Click the 'Replace All in All Opened Documents' button

    Close the dialog

    Save & close the open HH's

    Now 'playerX' only exists from July onwards

    ###
    IN HM:

    Create a new empty DB
    >> FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Database Management
    >> FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: Create / Delete Database

    Import all the HH's from the new folder into the new DB using the 'Import from Folder' button
    >> FAQ - Hold'em Manager Poker Tracking Software :: How to Import & Export Hands

    Check in HM reports & replayer that 'playerX' only shows recent stats & your new DB functions well

    If you are happy after using the DB for playing poker you can now delete the old DB

    ###
    Bear in mind...
    You will have to export/import player notes if you use them
    Tournament summaries
    bonuses & rakeback etc

    For this player...

    If you want to analyse all his hands for all time you will have to create an alias for him & include 'playerX' & 'playerY' in the alias
