- AminetFilter is the small tool which was designed to process Aminet
- recents especially those from Aminet-daily / Aminet-weekly mailing lists.
- I myself am completely not interested in some kind of uploads as their
- category lies far behind my interests (yes, "mods/techno" is one of them).
- However I can simply skip them myself reading the recent, they are just
- unnecesary junk in my recent. Unfortunately Aminet MLs are not configurable
- so I had to find out other way to avoid that junk. And Aminet Filter
- was born. It's very simple tool, but it does what it was designed for.
- Filter reads any file (ASCII, containing Aminet Recents are sugested ;-)
- compares every Recent's entry with the pattern and removes it if matches.
- Filter is smart enough to process only Recent's entries, leaving any
- headers (e.g. mail headers) and footers (e.g. MOTD) untouched. Theoretically
- it should make no change to files containing no Recent.
-
- I use Aminet Filter together with small script for YAM which among other
- things automatically process New mails. Now my Recents are much better ;-)

- HISTORY
- ---------
-
- v1.0 - initial release
-
- v1.1 - fixed small flaw, making AF saying there's 1 file on empty Recents
- - ARexx script (YAM) for automatic mail filtering is now enclosed
- - new switch COMPACT -> makes Filter's report a little bit smaller
-
- v1.2 - Now works about 50% faster!
- - Buffered I/O used. New switch: BUFFERSIZE
- - new switch: IGNOREBLANKS
- - More secure renaming scheme implemened. The original file will
- not be deleted if any more if the final Rename() failed.
- - prints error messages to the standard output (redirect it to
- NIL: if you don't need that info)
