EXtract MeSsaGes Ver 1.0
EXMSG is an utility for use with RBBS-PC BBS. It allows the Sysop to
extract the text from message files to a file or DOS device. If you've
ever had someone leave a message on the BBS that you would like to use
in a bulletin or save for future reference, then you might have a use for
EXMSG.
Command line parameters:
N:#### #### = message number to be extracted from message file.
I:filename filename = name of message file that contains the message
to be extracted. The default filename is
MESSAGES.
O:filename filename = name of file to have message text written to. If
the file already exists, the message will be
appended to existing file. Filename can also
be a DOS device such as PRN if you wish to print
message text to printer. The default is CON which
will send the text to the monitor.
The parameters may be in any order, if multiple messages are going to be
extracted it works best to use the N: parameter. Then if you use the F3 key
all you need to do is re-enter the number of the new message.
Example:
To export the text from message 100 in the FORSALE conference to the file
BULLET1, you would enter the following commandline.
EXMSG I:FORSALEM.DEF O:BULLET1 N:100
To export text from message 1999 in the main message area to the printer. The
main message file being named MESSAGES, which is the default filename.
EXMSG O:PRN N:1999
Or to export the same message to the console
EXMSG N:1999
This program was written and compiled in TURBO PASCAL 5.5, from borland.
