-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
WCLIST is compatible with Wilcat! 3.0 +. WCLIST produces an
ASCII file listing , dependent on the switches used, from
your files database file and the filearea database. By Default
it will use allfiles.dat and filearea.dat.
Command Line:
WCLIST [f1 [[f2] [f3]]] [/Switchs<instruction>]
For Example:
WCLIST c:\wc30\data\allfiles.dat c:\wc30\filearea.dat c:\dbwcact.lst
/A30 /F2 /L2 /V /Hc:\head.txt > wclist.log
This example produces a list of files that have been uploaded in the
last 30 days, using US date formating, 2 line descriptions, where
required, displaying to the screen while writing the listing to disk
and including head.txt to the begining of the file listing. All error
output has been piped to wclist.log. By using the different
combinations of switches you are able to produce many different file
listings.
Operation:
f1 This parameter contains the path and name of the
files data file. The default file file name is
ALLFILES.DAT.
For Example: [d:\path\[f1]]
f2 This Parmeter Contains the Path and name of your
file area information data file. The default is
FILEAREA.DAT. If no path is supplied then the
current directory will be the default path.
For Example: [d:\path\[f2]]
f3 This parameter contains the path and name of the
file listing requested. The default name is FILES.BBS
which will be placed in the directory where WClist
is run from.
For Example: [d:\path\[f3]]
