1. What is it?
--------------
TagScan is a little program that will scan TerMail's MSG/JAM
message base for taglines.
2. How to use it.
-----------------
A: Scanning your message base
TagScan <TerMailDir> <outfile>
TagScan will read the TM.BBS and scan all areas which do not
have the NOSCAN flag. If you want to scan a certain area which
has the NOSCAN flag, just put it in TAGSCAN.CFG. You can also
add areas which you do no want to scan but do not have the
NOSCAN flag.
Also see the included SCAN.BAT.
B: Dupe checking
TagScan will look for a file called TAGSCAN.DAT, in which the
dupe data is stored. To create/add taglines to that file, use
TagScan -a <tagline file>
The taglines will be stripped of spaces and full stops and
UPPERCASED before the CRC stored in TAGSCAN.DAT.
C: Exclusion of taglines
TagScan also looks for a file called EXCLUDE.TXT. It will load
the taglines from that file, and will skip them so they will
not be in <outfile>.
If you put a '@' sign in front of a tagline in the EXCLUDE.TXT
file, and the rest of the line will be used to check the found
tagline for that string. If it is found in the tagline, it will
not be put in the output file.
The thought behind this feature is this: TMnice has a Macro
option. This will allow to put the name of the person you write
to in the taglines. Now, those taglines are not the ones you
want in you database, now are they?
So, as an example, you can put the following line in the file
EXCLUDE.TXT:
@TmNice added your name to this Tag Line!
@Look! I'm using TmNice with Tag Line Macro's!
The original taglines could be :
"Hi, Dave, TmNice added your name to this Tag Line! "
"Hey, Dave, Look! I'm using TmNice with Tag Line Macro's!
Because the name of the person is not always the same, the
normal dupe detection would not detect those taglines.
D: Other options: TAGSCAN.CFG
You can have another Exclude filename if you want to. Edit
TAGSCAN.CFG and enter the new filename.
You can exclude areas so they will not be scanned, the NoScan
keyword handles this. If you want to scan areas that are not
in TM.BBS you can add them to the config file with the Scan
keyword.
See TAGSCAN.CFG for the syntax.
E: TerMail external Utils:
To call TagScan from within TerMail 3.00, use the External utils:
[TM.CFG]
.

ShiftF8 TScn scan.bat
