Documents for EraseMsg v1.00
1. What is EraseMsg and how do I use it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EraseMsg deletes messages depending on the RECEIVED flag and the TO, FROM
and SUBJECT fields.
You could for example use it to automatically delete messages from some PC
systems, that send you a netmail file attach message addressed to SysOp for
each file you get.
The program takes the following parameters:
DIR - the directory where the messages are. This could be
"User:Jonas_Kvarnstrom" (substitute your own name) to delete the netmail
messages mentioned above, or "Msg:100" to delete messages in area 100.
FROM - a search pattern. If the FROM field in the message header matches
this pattern, the message will be deleted.
TO - a search pattern. If the TO field in the message header matches this
pattern, the message will be deleted.
SUBJECT - a search pattern. If the SUBJECT field in the message header
matches this pattern, the message will be deleted.
RECEIVED - if this flag is set, all received messages will be deleted.
The search pattern is a standard AmigaDOS 2.0 pattern (this utility requires
AmigaOS 2.0).
Example:
EraseMsg DIR "Msg:100" FROM #?xyz#?
This will delete all .msg files in message area 100, whose FROM field
contains "xyz".
Please remember that it's enough for ONE of the conditions to be true for
the message to be deleted.
NOTE: The current version of EraseMsg doesn't delete entries from
WaitingMail.DAT files. It also doesn't change reply pointers, so messages
can still be linked to deleted messages and reply chains can be broken. It
is primarily supposed to be used on private message areas, not on ordinary
areas. This will be fixed when TelePro release some documentation for
DLG.library, so that I can use their library routines.
