================================================================================
If you are upgrading from an older version, we strongly recommend that you check
this file for the words UPGRADE ADVISORY to see if any enhancements might affect
the way the program works for you.
================================================================================
Overview
================================================================================
This file (ReadMe.txt) contains additional documentation that in most cases will
not concern users of this product. It provides a chronology of enhancements for
each version and may also include instructions for specific operating systems or
hardware. To view the primary user documentation, start up the main application
then click on the "Help" button.
If the application is not working as expected and this file does not provide any
helpful information, please email info@parse-o-matic.com with a full description
of your machine (operating system and version, programs running in the tray, and
anything else you think is significant), plus a full description of the problem.
The more details you provide, the faster we can get you back up and running.
Please write to us if there is a feature you would like added to TextHarvest. If
you need the enhancement right away, we can arrange for custom programming.
================================================================================
Version History (In Reverse Chronological Order)
================================================================================
3.00.00 General
Can now process fixed-record-length and character-terminated records
To support this, Config is no longer an Advanced Scripting feature
Added "Default Output Folder" to Path dialog
Scripting Help now indicates which commands use Advanced Scripting
Previously, this was not explicitly documented
Scripting
New freeware commands: AlphaNumPatt, Numeric, ParseName, Plural
LogMsg and LogMsgLF are no longer "Advanced Scripting" commands
New Config variables
$CfgDefaultIFN, $CfgDefaultOFN, $CfgOutFileType
2.50.00 Interface
New Path button saves you time and effort
The "Search Path" lets TextHarvest know where your files are
Log and Error files are no longer deleted when program starts
They are now deleted only at the start of processing
Added /E command line parameter to set Append checkbox
Autoview no longer displays if the output file is empty
Various small changes to address minor issues
File viewer
Find and Repeat-find now back up two lines - text no longer at top
Simple print capability lets you make hardcopy of files and help
Various small changes to address minor issues

New Advanced commands (require Advanced Scripting License)
Subroutine commands: Call, Procedure, Exit
CompareCtrl command lets you control case sensitivity
Que command lets you save the result of a comparison
Config lets the script change the appearance of the user interface

Various small changes to address minor issues
Miscellaneous
New installation program (Inno Setup)
Sample scripts now have Help files
2.40.00 Fixed problem with Break and Continue proceeding to the correct Again
If in a loop within a loop, they simply would go to the next one
Fixed problem with Break re-executing the Again's comparison
Added Comprises comparator
Added Control setting to OutCSV
Added MultiPass/OnePass option to Change command
Added Inc and Dec commands
Vastly improved performance when using arrays with thousands of elements
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPGRADE ADVISORY: The Change command now repeats the process until the
value being sought is no longer found (unless Change sess that this
would cause an infinite loop). In most cases this will not affect your
scripts, but if it does you can enforce the old behaviour by using the
'OnePass' option. Please see the Help file for details.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.31.00 Added SplitCSV command (requires Advanced Scripting License)
2.30.00 New Scripting features (in freeware package unless otherwise noted)
"Matches" comparator allows comparisons with patterns
Improved reporting of errors during script compilation
Script compilation warns of one-time use of simple variables
This almost always means the variable was typed incorrectly
Array variables are not currently checked this way, though
Special variables (e.g. $ActualIFN) are exempt from this checking
New commands: ScanFollow and ShowNote
New special variables $Compare and $Ignore
----------------------------------------------------------------------
UPGRADE ADVISORY: The Break and Continue commands can no longer be
used to jump to the End command in a Begin/End block. They now follow
standard programming practice and will jump to the next Again command.
Please check your scripts to ensure that this does not cause problems.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
