File Description
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
RALPURGE.EXE This is the executable (honest)
RALPURGE.CFG This is the configuration file for the above
RALPURGE.DOC This is the RALPURGE documentation. You are reading it!
FILE_ID.DIZ This is a brief description of the archive.

│░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓ Program Information ▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░│
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
RALPURGE is a wee utility designed to intelligently purge records from your
RA log file. I found that my log file was getting large and rather than
delete it in my daily/weeky bat file I wanted to have it purged retaining
the last x number of days. This is specially useful for programs which
read the log file for recent activity (eg THEYDID etc). If the RA log file
is deleted then it seems (incorrectly) to be that there is no recent
activity. I couldn't find anything to do this for me so I wrote it myself.

│░░░▒▒▒▓▓▓ Installing RALPURGE ▓▓▓▒▒▒░░░│
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Ok, by now you have alreadfy unzipped the archive into a directory of your
choosing. All you have to do now is the configure RALPURGE. Load the
config file - RALPURGE.CFG - into your favorite editor and configure it
accordingly. The following parameters are allowed...
NUMBER OF DAYS =
This determines how many days will be left in the log file starting from
the current date.
eg. if the date is 3.8.95 and NUMBER OF DAYS = 12, then only records with
the dates 23.7.95 thru 3.8.95 will be left in the log file. All others
will be purged.
LOG FILE =
This is the path and file name of the RA log file.
eg. LOG FILE = d:\log\ra1.log
DEBUG =
If this is set to Y then the number of records purged will be displayed.
Save the config file. All you now have to do is put the a command in
your bat file which runs the BBS to run RALPURGE (I run RALPURGE once a
week in my weekly maintenance run). If you put RALPURGE in a directory
c:\ralpurge the following should be added...
CD\RALPURGE
C:\RALPURGE\RALPURGE
Thats all there is to it!
