- TRUNCLOG - Another FrontDoor LOG-file truncator...
-
- Written by Erik Wachtmeester in Turbo Pascal (tm) 5.5.
-
- Syntax: TRUNCLOG <logfile> <days to keep (max. 255)> [<keepfile>]
-
- E.g.: TRUNCLOG C:\FD\FD.LOG 7 C:\FD\HIST\OLD.LOG
-
- In this case, TRUNCLOG deletes all entries older than 7 days from your FD.LOG
- in the directory C:\FD, and keeps the deleted entries in C:\FD\HIST\OLD.LOG.
- The <keepfile> is optional, and in all cases, if no directory is given, the
- current directory will be used. If <keepfile> already exists, the new deleted
- entries will be appended to it, otherwise a new <keepfile> will be created.
-
- TRUNCLOG checks the date by looking for entries like:
- "---------- ddd DD mmm YY"
- where "ddd" is the dayname (wich will be ignored), and "DD mmm YY" is the date
- ("D mmm YY" is also recognised in e.g. "9 jan 91"). The "----------" is
- crucial, though...
- Programs that use this syntax for their logfiles include FrontDoor, TosScan,
- MButil, FileFix, RA, and probably a lot more. Please check this with your own
- logfile.
-
- TRUNCLOG is a public domain utility. You have got my permission to use (and
- alter) the enclosed program and sourcecode to your liking. I do not guarantee
- anything beyond the fact that TRUNCLOG uses diskspace, however...
-
- If you use and like this utility, I would be obliged if you let me know
