Short: 1.1 - Process posts of Aminet MailLists Author: Marcin Orlowski Uploader: Marcin Orlowski Type: comm/misc Replaces: comm/misc/AminetFilter.* Www: http://wfmh.man.szczecin.pl AminetFilter is the small tool which was designed to process Aminet recents especially those from Aminet-daily / Aminet-weekly mailing lists. I myself am completely not interested in some kind of uploads as their category lies far behind my interests (yes, "mods/techno" is one of them). However I can simply skip them myself reading the recent, they are just unnecesary junk in my recent. Unfortunately Aminet MLs are not configurable so I had to find out other way to avoid that junk. And Aminet Filter was born. It's very simple tool, but it does what it was designed for. Filter reads any file (ASCII, containing Aminet Recents are sugested ;-) compares every Recent's entry with the pattern and removes it if matches. Filter is smart enough to process only Recent's entries, leaving any headers (e.g. mail headers) and footers (e.g. MOTD) untouched. Theoretically it should make no change to files containing no Recent. I use Aminet Filter together with small script for YAM which among other things automatically process New mails. Now my Recents are much better ;-) HISTORY --------- v1.0 - initial release v1.1 - fixed small flaw, making AF saying there's 1 file on empty Recents - ARexx script (YAM) for automatic mail filtering is now enclosed - new switch COMPACT -> makes Filter's report a little bit smaller ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 669 322 51.8% 02-Sep-97 22:36:38 AminetFilter.info 11368 7137 37.2% 02-Sep-97 22:38:18 +AminetFilter 6288 2546 59.5% 02-Sep-97 22:41:06 +AminetFilter.doc 1104 365 66.9% 02-Sep-97 22:36:40 +AminetFilter.doc.info 835 401 51.9% 02-Sep-97 22:36:40 +AminetFilter.info 1636 859 47.4% 02-Sep-97 22:39:38 +AminetFilter.readme 669 329 50.8% 02-Sep-97 22:36:52 +ARexx.info 1680 858 48.9% 02-Sep-97 22:34:00 +wfmh_custom_filters.rexx 464 244 47.4% 02-Sep-97 22:37:30 +wfmh_custom_filters.rexx.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 24713 13061 47.1% 02-Sep-97 23:12:58 9 files
