- 1. What is ListAnalyzer ?
- This is a program that is useful for people who often have to handle lists
- (e.g. with filenames).
- In case of the option you can choose, two lists are loaded, analyzed and
- compared. A destination file, containing special entries of the both lists,
- will be written to disk.
- 2. Format of the lists
- To guaranty that the program works correctly with all lists, they have to be
- in a standard format.
- The entries have to start in the first columm of a line and have to be
- seperated from each other by a "return" (= binary code 10)
- Most lists of archived files in BBS or lists generated by machine are in
- this format.
- 3. start - how to use - functions of gadgets.
- To start "ListAnalyzer" doublclick on its icon or type its name from the
- Shell.
-
- A window with the following gadgets will appear:
-
- * Load List 1 ........... A filerequester appears and you have to choose the
- first list. It will be loaded and analyzed. The
- number of entries will be written in the status
- line.
-
- * Load List 2 ........... See above, but the second list will be loaded.
-
- * Save .................. A filerequester appears and you have to choose a
- destination file. The program now analyses both
- lists and writes special entries of both lists into
- the destination file. This may take some minutes
- if you have long lists. The entries still to do are
- written in the status line.
-
- * About ................. some boring informations about the author.
- 4. Whats behind the MX gadgets ?
- By pressing one of the three knobs you can choose an option for saving the
- destination file.
-
- a) all duplicates
-
- All entries, that are present in the first and in the second list, will be
- written to the destination file.
-
- example:
-
- first list ... second list ... destination list ...
-
- street girl book
- boy book tape
- computer bundy
- book tape
- tape
- duck
-
- b) all singles
-
- All entries, that are present in the first list but not in the second list,
- will be written to the destination file.
-
- example:
-
- first list ... second list ... destination list ...
-
- street girl street
- boy book boy
- computer bundy computer
- book tape duck
- tape
- duck
-
- c) all files
-
- All entries of both lists will be written to the destination file. But if a
- file is present in both lists, it will only be written once.
-
- example:
-
- first list ... second list ... destination list ...
-
- street girl street
- boy book boy
- computer bundy computer
- book tape book
- tape tape
- duck duck
- girl
- bundy
-
- In the drawer "examples" there are two lists. Try "ListAnalyzer" with this
- lists (or modify them) to understand the options.
- 5. thanx and greets

- utility.
