RemoteAccess Messages Tools 0.60
Public Beta Release
Copyright 1991 by Chris Patterson
All Rights Reserved
This product is used to perform a variety of sundry functions on the
message base files used by RemoteAccess. For a complete list of functions
that are currently implemented and those which are in development, see the
list below.
RAMT Export - Export Message To Text File(s) With Options
The purpose of this function is to take information from the message base
file and create a readable text file that may be browsed using a standard
list program. There are many reasons that one may want to have this type of
capability available. In the export operation, many options are available to
allow a "tailored" output file to be created. The options are:
-B[OARDS] This option allows the operator to specify which
boards should be exported. Multiple boards may be
specified by using a "," between each board number.
An "*" indicates that all boards should be included.
-B 13,17,24 would exports messages on board
numbers 13, 17 and 24.
-B * would export messages from all boards.
-FI[RST] Specify the first message number that should be
processed. This uses the global message base number
and not the message number within the current area.
-FI 1000 would only qualify messages with a
number of 1000 or higher
-FR[OM] The FROM field of the message header is searched for
the specified text. This is not an exact search and
is not case sensitive.
-FR "Chris P" would search for all messages that
contained the string "CHRIS P" in the
message header.
-K[LUDGES] By specifying this option, all kludge information in
the message (lines that being with ^A) will be displayed
as normal text within the message body.
-L[AST] Specify the last message number that should be
processed. This uses the global message base number
and not the message number within the current area.
-L 1500 would only qualify messages with a
number of 1500 or lower
-M[ULTIPLE] Specifies that multiple output files should be created,
one file for each message board searched. If the output
filename specified is longer than five characters, it
will be truncated to allow the concatenation of the
board number.
-O[UTPUT] Indicates the name of the file(s) to which output should
be written. This may include drive, path, filename and
extension. If the multiple option is used, the filename
will be truncated to 5 characters in length.
-O e:\USER.TXT would export messages to E:\USER.TXT or
in multiple mode, E:\USER001.TXT
-S[UBJECT] The subject line in the message header is searched for
the specified text. This is the same as the FROM and
TO options, in that the search is not exact NOR case
sensitive.
-S "network" would search for messages that contained
the string "NETWORK" in their subject
line.
-TH[READ] This tells the exporter to group messages by their
subject lines, in order to provide a more linear thought
pattern while reading messages.
-TO The TO line in the message header is searched for the
specified text. This is the same as the FROM and SUBJECT
options, no case sensitivity is required.
-TO "Chris P" would search for messages that were to
an individual containing the string
"CHRIS P" in their name.
-U[SER] This option is currently under development. It will allow
the specification of a user that is in the USERS.BBS file.
The message base will then only qualify boards/messages
which can be read by that user. The above qualifications
are all still valid in addition to this option. More will
be available on this option at a later date.
