STRIP Version 1.0b
(c) Copyright John F. Steinman 1991
All rights reserved
Strip is a Filter program that removes or retrieves all lines
in a file that contain a specified string. This program was
initially designed to remove all lines containing long distance
telephone numbers from a file of BBS telephone numbers. As program
development progressed it was found to be more practical to remove
lines containing the search string than to retrieve those lines
that did contain the string as some BBSs don't always include the
area code for local numbers. On a second revision both the ability
to retrieve lines containing the search string and to strip lines
containing the search string was incorporated, as well as the
ability to strip blank lines. This program is not limited to just
lists of telephone numbers, it will work on any type of repetitive
list. For example it can remove all lines containing "OFF-LINE" in
a listing of BBS Files available for downloading, as well as Saving
all file names uploaded on a certain date.
The programs works by loading in 750 lines of text at a time
into a processing buffer. It then searches each line for the
"String". If the string is found, the line is either removed from
the buffer or is saved, depending on the mode of operation. After
a block of lines is processed they are written to a new file with
name "*.STP". this is the "Stripped" file.
