- This product is used to perform a variety of sundry functions on the
- message base files used by RemoteAccess. For a complete list of functions
- that are currently implemented and those which are in development, see the
- list below.
-
-
- RAMT Export - Export Message To Text File(s) With Options
-
- The purpose of this function is to take information from the message base
- file and create a readable text file that may be browsed using a standard
- list program. There are many reasons that one may want to have this type of
- capability available. In the export operation, many options are available to
- allow a "tailored" output file to be created. The options are:
-
- -B[OARDS] This option allows the operator to specify which
- boards should be exported. Multiple boards may be
- specified by using a "," between each board number.
- An "*" indicates that all boards should be included.
-
- -B 13,17,24 would exports messages on board
- numbers 13, 17 and 24.
-
- -B * would export messages from all boards.
-
-
- -FI[RST] Specify the first message number that should be
- processed. This uses the global message base number
- and not the message number within the current area.
-
- -FI 1000 would only qualify messages with a
- number of 1000 or higher
-
- -FR[OM] The FROM field of the message header is searched for
- the specified text. This is not an exact search and
- is not case sensitive.
-
- -FR "Chris P" would search for all messages that
- contained the string "CHRIS P" in the
- message header.
-
- -K[LUDGES] By specifying this option, all kludge information in
- the message (lines that being with ^A) will be displayed
- as normal text within the message body.
-
- -L[AST] Specify the last message number that should be
- processed. This uses the global message base number
- and not the message number within the current area.
-
- -L 1500 would only qualify messages with a
- number of 1500 or lower
-
- -M[ULTIPLE] Specifies that multiple output files should be created,
- one file for each message board searched. If the output
- filename specified is longer than five characters, it
- will be truncated to allow the concatenation of the
- board number.
-
- -O[UTPUT] Indicates the name of the file(s) to which output should
- be written. This may include drive, path, filename and
- extension. If the multiple option is used, the filename
- will be truncated to 5 characters in length.
-
- -O e:\USER.TXT would export messages to E:\USER.TXT or
- in multiple mode, E:\USER001.TXT
-
- -S[UBJECT] The subject line in the message header is searched for
- the specified text. This is the same as the FROM and
- TO options, in that the search is not exact NOR case
- sensitive.
-
- -S "network" would search for messages that contained
- the string "NETWORK" in their subject
- line.
-
- -TH[READ] This tells the exporter to group messages by their
- subject lines, in order to provide a more linear thought
- pattern while reading messages.
-
- -TO The TO line in the message header is searched for the
- specified text. This is the same as the FROM and SUBJECT
- options, no case sensitivity is required.
-
- -TO "Chris P" would search for messages that were to
- an individual containing the string
- "CHRIS P" in their name.
-
- -U[SER] This option is currently under development. It will allow
- the specification of a user that is in the USERS.BBS file.
- The message base will then only qualify boards/messages
- which can be read by that user. The above qualifications
- are all still valid in addition to this option. More will
- be available on this option at a later date.
