Youtube Cite Version 1.6 .exe File /source code

Quick update that adds a condition to end or continue the program with a yes or no answer. My favorite IDE is visual studio code at the moment, but that might change.

The file is a .zip file; you will have to:

1. Extract to the folder of choice

2. Double click on the YT_CiteV1.5.exe file to run it

3. Cut and Paste a YouTube link

4. The citation will show up in a notepad file

Version 2.0

YT_CiteV2.0 is In the making, and I will make a tutorial for this project. Please be patient, and thank you for following my blog.

Here is the source code to version 1.6 and happy citing.

Note: if you cannot paste the URL, simply cut a new link and paste it into the program.
