1. What is ListAnalyzer ?
This is a program that is useful for people who often have to handle lists
(e.g. with filenames).
In case of the option you can choose, two lists are loaded, analyzed and
compared. A destination file, containing special entries of the both lists,
will be written to disk.
2. Format of the lists
To guaranty that the program works correctly with all lists, they have to be
in a standard format.
The entries have to start in the first columm of a line and have to be
seperated from each other by a "return" (= binary code 10)
Most lists of archived files in BBS or lists generated by machine are in
this format.
3. start - how to use - functions of gadgets.
To start "ListAnalyzer" doublclick on its icon or type its name from the
Shell.
A window with the following gadgets will appear:
* Load List 1 ........... A filerequester appears and you have to choose the
first list. It will be loaded and analyzed. The
number of entries will be written in the status
line.
* Load List 2 ........... See above, but the second list will be loaded.
* Save .................. A filerequester appears and you have to choose a
destination file. The program now analyses both
lists and writes special entries of both lists into
the destination file. This may take some minutes
if you have long lists. The entries still to do are
written in the status line.
* About ................. some boring informations about the author.
4. Whats behind the MX gadgets ?
By pressing one of the three knobs you can choose an option for saving the
destination file.
a) all duplicates
All entries, that are present in the first and in the second list, will be
written to the destination file.
example:
first list ... second list ... destination list ...
street girl book
boy book tape
computer bundy
book tape
tape
duck
b) all singles
All entries, that are present in the first list but not in the second list,
will be written to the destination file.
example:
first list ... second list ... destination list ...
street girl street
boy book boy
computer bundy computer
book tape duck
tape
duck
c) all files
All entries of both lists will be written to the destination file. But if a
file is present in both lists, it will only be written once.
example:
first list ... second list ... destination list ...
street girl street
boy book boy
computer bundy computer
book tape book
tape tape
duck duck
girl
bundy
In the drawer "examples" there are two lists. Try "ListAnalyzer" with this
lists (or modify them) to understand the options.
