Documentation for CPT-Stat, v1.52
See CPT.DOC for usage information about CPT itself.
CPT-Stat produces statistics from a CPT Database. The statistics may be
sorted by one or more of four different fields, each of which may be in
either ascending or descending order.
Prefacing a sort field with a hyphen (-) selects descending order.
Usage: CPT-Stat <CPT file> <sort order>
The "sort order" may be any one or more of the following:
name = sort by first name, ascending (A to Z)
-name = sort by first name, descending (Z to A)
sent = sort by messages sent, ascending (fewest messages at top)
-sent = sort by messages sent, descending (most messages at top)
oldest = sort by oldest message, ascending (new people at end)
-oldest = sort by oldest message, descending (new people at top)
newest = sort by newest message, ascending (current posters at end)
-newest = sort by newest message, descending (current posters at top)
Example: CPT-Stat cnf_123.dat -sent
Example: CPT-Stat 45.mem -sent name
Notes:
1) The output file name for CPT-Stat is the same as the input file,
but the extension is changed to ".STT".
2) If "-sent" is selected as the highest priority sort order, then the
participants will also be given a ranking number, indicating their
standing, from most messages to fewest messages.
3) If you want to rank by multiple fields, just put multiple sort order
parameters on the command line, in the order of highest to lowest
priority. If you want the participants sorted primarily by oldest and
secondarily by name, then use:
CPT-Stat 123.mem oldest name
Sample output:
See CNF100.STT for a sample of program output.
