INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF EXTRACT.COM FILE EXTRACTION UTILITY
EXTRACT.COM can be a useful tool for making up your own lists of words to
study from supplied word files. The program lets you take a word file and
'extract' from it a file consisting of all words containing within them any
letters of choice. The command to invoke extract.com is:
EXTRACT **** WORDFILE.XXX, where **** stand for the letters of your choice
and wordfile.xxx is the supplied file of your choice.
Let us take a convenient example. Use the file UNUSUAL.LST supplied with
this program. Wouldn't it be nice to have a list of all the words containing
the letters KHY that are in this file? All right, first make certain that
both EXTRACT.COM and UNUSUAL.LST are in your current directory. Now type:
EXTRACT KHY UNUSUAL.LST. The program logo appears and the screen informs you
how many words are being extracted. About a minute later, you see on the
screen that the file KHY_.LST has been created, and the program ends.
