SCRIPTDL.exe - convert from script file format to command delimited
text file. Version 1.0 02-12-92
Scriptdl.exe is a fairly simple-minded program that I use to convert my
PCBoard version 14.5a NEWASK "answer" file into a comma delimited file for
later input to a database program.
To use the program, type:
scriptdl answer_file_name output_file_name
on the command line, or type scriptdl and press ENTER to see a usage
reminder.
It converts a file of records that looks like this:
*************************************************************
From: SOME USER, 02-12-92 (18:00) Node 3 Sec 10 Exp 02-20-92
Q: Your Address?
A: 123 E. Nowhere
Q: City, State, Zip?
A: Podunk, KS, 12345
Q: Phone ?
A: 555-1212
To a file that looks like this:
"SOME USER", "02-12-92", "123 E. Nowhere", "Podunk, KS, 12345", "555-1212"
Some notes:
The user name and date from the "FROM:" line are always the first two fields.
All "A:" lines are turned into an output field in the output file.
All other lines are ignored.
The input file is only READ from.
The output file is always APPENEDED to.
Unlike other programs, I am not going to go into an entire chapter on how
this program is guaranteed to basically do nothing, and if the "nothing that
it does" happens to destroy your hard disk, that is your own tough luck.
This program works for me on my system. It does what I need it to do.
If it doesn't work for you on your system - please let me know and I will
attempt to fix it. Just remember what you paid for it.......
