- Here is a utility I think you all have a use for.
-
- MV_LINE
-
- =======
-
-
- Moves lines from one ascii text file to another. If you type "MV_LINE",
- you will get some limited on-line help.
-
- Basically, you enter a command line like this:
-
- mv_line source destination key
-
- any lines in file "source" that begin with "key" will be appended to the
- end of "destination".
-
- file "source" MUST already exist. (If not you will get an error and the pro-
- gram will abort.)
-
- file "destination" MAY exist. (If not, it will be created.)
-
- NOTES
- =====
-
- 1.) Lines CANNOT be longer than 127 bytes. [Sorry].
-
- 2.) "key" CANNOT contain spaces [Sorry again.]
-
- 3.) a file named "MV_LINE.$$$" will be created, destroying
- any file you may have with that name, [unlikely].
-
- 4.) the comparision of "key" to lines withing "source" file is
- NOT case sensitive. (lower case matches uppercase.)
-
-
- If you have any suggestions please leave them for me on the POLARIS BBS.
-
- Thank-you
- Rich Newman.

-
- All of you PCBOARD SYSOPS will find this program a VERY useful
- utility for moving file descriptions from your RECENT UPLOAD dir
- to their proper dir's.
-
- Suppose you have a file in the UPLOAD dir called ex: QMDM113.ARC
-
-
- UPLOAD Directory #10
-
- File Name Size Date Description
- _________________________________________________________________
-
- QMDM113.arc 152320 12-25-85 Qmodem ver 1.13
-
-
- and you want to move this line of TEXT from DIR10 to DIR2(if that is
- where your Communication Listings are).
-
- enter the following command.
-
- MV_LINE DIR10 DIR2 QMDM113
-
- This will move all lines of TEXT that start with QMDM113 from DIR10 to
- DIR2. It will be DELETED from DIR10 and will be moved into DIR2.
- You can also use shorter names and it will MATCH all lines that start
- with whatever combination you specify.
-
- I use this and it cuts down the the time for keeping the UPLOAD Dir
- clean to practically NIL....
-
- ******* I M P O R T A N T ***********
-
- Put this file in the sub dir that contains your DIR listings ex:
-
- C:\PCB\GEN
-
- and run this program from this sub dir( C or D:\PCB\GEN )
