- Hello tpu.gurus!
-
- I've got a series of things that I would like Eve/TPU to do for me.
- From everything that I have read and/or seen, TPU can do it for me. What I'd
- like to know is has someone else ever written something like this? If not,
- then where and at what should I start with in the TPU manual?
-
- I'd like it to do:
-
- 1) Run a DCL command file, and capture the output into another buffer.
-
- Yes, I know that can be done with DCL etc.., but I wanted a more
- 'elegant' solution to it. I'd like it all automatic. Minimal user effort
- required.
-
- 2) Have it look for the 'From:' line in a message, extract the persons
- name/address and put it into a format like '*Name/Addr just extracted* wrote:'
-
- Basically a 'poor mans newsreader.'
-
- That's all the 'wants' that I have at the moment. ;-) If no such
- animals exist now, can someone tell me where I'd need to start at? (Yes, I am
- a TPU newbie :)
-
- Thanks for any help/ideas in advance!
