LineDumper 0.96 beta
PCBoard & General text file line trimmer.

-------
Purpose
-------
Don't you hate all those extra lines PCBoard and other programs add
to log files? I got sick of looking at my 3.4 megabyte callers log
and seeing that half of it was garbage I would never need.
Line Dumper will trim lines from any text file that contain up to 10
specified search strings. There is also an option for it to KEEP any
of those "to kill" lines if followed by any of 5 other text strings.
See the LINEDUMP.CFG file for a better picture of what I mean here.
This program is relatively fast. I trimmed a 3.4 meg/79,432 line log file
down to 1.6meg/31,682 line file in 2.13 minutes on a 486DX/2-66 using the
/NS option (see below). Your mileage may vary.
--------------------
Unregistered Version
--------------------
Don't you also hate crippleware that keeps you from really seeing
what a shareware program can do? There are no features disabled in
this program. The Unregistered version simply has a delay at the END
of processing and asks you to hit a key. It will not explode after 30
days. I figure if you use it infrequently enough to not lay out $7.00,
then it's not worth it for you.
------------
Instructions
------------
Check out the LINEDUMP.CFG file which contains about all the info you
need to run it if you hate reading docs like I do.
There are 2 possible command line parameters.
/NS - No Screen output. This cuts the processing time by an average of
40%. This is essentially for EVENT processing.
The second option is the name & location of your LINEDUMP.CFG file. This
should include any necessary information like drive and path if required.
This will allow you to have multiple CFG files so you don't have to
modify the same one over and over.
If you do not specify one, it will look in the current directory for
LINEDUMP.CFG.
-----------------------
Requirements and Limits
-----------------------
I have tested this program on a 96,000 line file with no ill effects
running under OS/2 and Desqview in as little as 90k!
---------
Liability
---------
Sorry but I cannot be held responsible for anything that happens while
running Line Dumper. I have tested it to the best of my ability and
have found it to be both physically and mentally stable.
