-Dear Soren, 
- 
-First of all I think the template for editing the hosts is great. 
- 
-Subsequent code sections did not work for me. The command setAlias requires that an entry already exists in the hosts. 
-In my opinion it should be called setHosts which worked for me. 
- 
-[PatchHosts_add] 
-setAlias %website% 
- 
-[PatchHosts_remove] 
-delAlias %website%

-BR,

-Hello Martin 
- 
-You have a point - I forgot to take into account that the 127.0.0.1 might not exist :-/ 
- 
-I started out with the **setHosts**, but in my experience the hosts would be overwritten by each other, so that you would end out with just the last line from the blocklist. 
- 
-I need to figure out a way of using both.. 
- 
-Regards, 
-Soren

-Dear Soren, 
- 
-I am actually using this very usefull tool. I encounter some troubles as previously given by Martin. 
- 
-1) I cannot declare domains if the entry 127.0.0.1 did not exist in the hosts file. After that, if IP 127.0.0.1 without anything else after, is set i can push all domains. 
- 
-2) When i try to remove all entries, it allways let the firt line in the blocklist defineded previously. It won't clear all. 
-         a) example : 127.0.0.1 netflix.com stay and in never deleted, but all others entries are removed 
-3) Then if I modify list in blocklist file, and i push again the script, the first entry in hosts file is not overwritten but added ... so if i do that many times for example i had that in host file : 
-         a) 127.0.0.1 netflix.com netflix.com www.netflix.com bho.com www.bho.com crave.ca www.crave.ca movies.disney.com www.movies.disney.com disneyplus.com www.disneyplus.com wetransfer.com thepiratebay.org 
-         b) I noted that space between domains is not the same, is that due to tab spaces or something else ? 
-         c) I find that domains are not written in list but all on the same line (is that a normal way or not ?) 
- 
-Thanks a lot for your help. Asks me if in can give you more informations about my issues to help to increase the script. 
-          
-Regards Guillaume
