THE VERSION 1.0 DOCUMENTATION SAID:
Have you ever had a text file with a whole bunch of repetitive lines that
you want to remove? A typical example: logs from a BBS session. All those
prompt lines waste disk space.
There are a number of useful programs out there that help you clean up a
up a file. This one will delete lines containing particular bits of text.
You can specify up to 25 different bits of text.
AND NOW! INTRODUCING ... VERSION 2.0!
Wow! Who woulda thought? WEED's been out there for, like, YEARS and not
one copy bothered to drop me a line to say, "Hey, how's it goin'?"
Well, Version 2.0 has been beefed up. Why I'm bothering to document this is
beyond me. There's no glory in it. No money. Not even (sniff) a nice let-
ter from time to time. Yarrrrhhh, there's no justice.
Anyway, we're now able to supply -- not 25 -- but ONE HUNDRED bits of text!
Wow! Gosh!
But here's the amazingest part: WEED now serves DOUBLE DUTY, because it can
run in two (count 'em! TWO) ways!
1. The original way: lines with given text are not copied
2. The new, exciting way: line with given text ARE copied
In other words, to compare the two versions:
OLD: "Destroy lines containing THIS text!"
NEW: "Destroy lines containing this text OR
Destroy the ones NOT containing it!"
This is too much. All this in one program? I can't hardly believe it. But
that's not all! Not only do you get this great program, you also get the
SOURCE CODE! WOW!
Ahem.
Hope you like the new and improved WEED.
