┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Introduction │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
FFLIST is a file list generator that supports include/exclude files and
directories, header files, footer files, and has many other features that you
may find useful.
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Operation │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Syntax:
FFLIST <Output File> [Options]
Options:
/# NUMBER OF DOWNLOADS (DEFAULT = OFF)
Will include how many times each file has been downloaded at the
end of each file description, example:
File Description Line #1
...
File Description Line #9
Downloaded 1234 time(s)
/D:<days> DAYS NEW (DEFAULT = 7)
This sets how many days old a file may be to be considered "new".
This defaults to 7 days, and can be set to 0 to disable marking
"new" files. New files are marked with an '*' in the file listing.
This option is used in combination with /N to only include files
newer than <days> in the listing.
/F:<file> FOOTER FILE (DEFAULT = NONE)
The /F option will make FFLIST copy <file> to the end of the file
list. One use for this would be a list of magic names users can
F'REQ from your system to get the latest version(s) of file(s).
/H:<file> HEADER FILE (DEFAULT = NONE)
The /H option will make FFLIST copy <file> to the beginning of the
file list. This is so you can add a title (or BBS Ad, etc.) to the
beginning of the file list.
/I:<file> INCLUDE FILES/DIRECTORIES (DEFAULT = ALL)
If the /I switch is used, FFLIST will ONLY include the file bases
and files listed in <file>. <file> should be a text file with one
file base or file listed on each line. Wildcards me be used for
file base names, file base numbers, and file names. Examples:
FILEBASE Will not list any files in FILEBASE (*.FB filename)
FILE* Will not list any files in any *.FB filename matching
FILE* (eg: FILE, FILEA, FILE1234, FILEWXYZ).
#:5 Will not list any files in filebase #5
#:1? Will not list any files in filebases 10-19 (1? = 10..19)
*.GIF Will not list any *.GIF files in any filebase
You can use the standard DOS ? and * wildcards, as well as the
following "extended wildcards":
[?????] Allow you to select specific characters, examples:
[1234]ABCD[5678]
Would match 1ABCD5, or 2ABCD5, or 3ABCD7, etc.
[??-??] Allow you to select a range of characters, examples:
[0-5]*
Would match 0*, 1*, 2*, 3*, 4*, 5*
[1-37-9]
Would match 1*, 2*, 3*, 7*, 8*, 9*
[!????] Will NOT match specific characters to exclude, examples:
[!1234]*
Would match 5*, 6*, 7*, 8*, 9*, A*, B*, but not 1*, 2*, etc.
/L:<xxxx> LIMIT MOST POPULAR FILES (DEFAULT = 20)
Will make the most popular files list the top <xxxx> files.
You can use any number between 2 and 100.
/M INCLUDE MOST POPULAR FILES (DEFAULT = OFF)
This will include a table at the end of the list with the 20 most
downloaded files. If you'd like more/less than 20 files, use the /L
option.
/N NEW FILES ONLY (DEFAULT = OFF)
/N will cause FFLIST to create a list of ONLY the new files, as
specified by the /D:<days> setting.
If no new files are found FFLIST will create an empty list with
just the header (/H:<file) and a message saying no files were found.
It will exit with errorlevel 10 so that you may automatically trap
the errorlevel and discard the list.
/S SHORT DESCRIPTIONS (DEFAULT = LONG DESCRIPTION)
Do not include the extended descriptions.
/T INCLUDE DIRECTORY INFORMATION (DEFAULT = OFF)
This will include a table at the end of the list with the total
# of files/bytes for each directory, and a grand total of all
directories.
/U UPLOADER NAME (DEFAULT = OFF)
Will include the name of who uploaded each file at the end of each
file description, example:
File Description Line #1
...
File Description Line #9
Uploaded by User Name
/X:<file> EXCLUDE FILES/DIRECTORIES (DEFAULT = NONE)
If the /X switch is used, FFLIST will exclude the file bases and
files listed in <file>. If you have a file base or file listed in
both the include file (using /I) and the exclude file (using /X),
the exclude file will take precedence and it will not be listed.
Please see the /I option for details of how to create the <file>.
