- 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
-
