I think there is nothing more to say. The features are: 2 brainfiles (in the s directory). Filename+Wildcard && CRC-32 && ZERO length stripping. Testing archive and checking for advertisements. Ability to add banner(s) to archive. BBS-ANSI colors and look. I think it is also very fast. |__ __ __ __| __ __ __| __ __ .--|_ __ __ __ | )(__|l '(__| (__|| )(__| `--.(__)|- |__,\/\/(__|l 'l_/_ .------------------------------------.__|----|------------------------. | __ __ __ __ __ ___ __ __ |_ .--------------' | l 'l_/_(__|l__||| 'l_/_| | )l_/_| ||__,`--. `-----------------------|----|' l_______| LZX 1.x (Evaluation or Registered) Kickstart 2.o or higher (Tested on A4ooo 3oMHz and 4Mb of ram and Kickstart 39.1o6 -> works fine) (Tested on A12oo Blizzard 122o/28MHz and 6Mb of ram and Kickstart 39.1o6 -> works fine) __ __ |_ __ | | __ |_ __ __ || )`--.l__,(__|l_,l_,(__|l__,|(__)| l__ .-------.__| | `--------------------------------------------' Copy and to S: Copy to a directory of your choice (e.g. C: ) __ __ __ __ .-- __ __ ___ __ |__ __ | | |__|`--.(__|l__|l_/_ |- l '(__)| | ) `--.| |l_/_l_,l_, .------.__| .__|------|-----------------.__|----------------. `--------------------------------------------------------------' Usage: LZXstrip [BBS] [SHOW] [TEST] [CHECK] [NOCRC] [NOZERO] [ADVERT ] BBS switch: uses BBS-ANSI colors and look. SHOW switch: show checked/deleted file(s). TEST switch: test file(s) in archive. CHECK switch: show advert(s) without killing them. NOCRC switch: don't use CRC scan mode. NOZERO switch: don't kill files with ZERO length. ADVERT key: filename/path of advert(s) to be added. Explanation of Parameters: -------------------------- BBS/S - Uses BBS-ANSI colors and look for BBS-Usage. SHOW/S - Show checked and deleted files by name. If you do not use this option a message appears. (I.E.: Checking file(s)... 1 file(s) found Deleting file(s)... 10 file(s) deleted ) TEST/S - Test file(s) in archive. CHECK/S - Show advert(s) without killing them. NOZERO/S - Don't kill files with ZERO length in archive. NOCRC/S - You can switch of the CRC-32 scanner. ADVERT/K - Specify here the filename/path to the advert which should be added to the archive. I.E.: ADVERT=S:BBSADVERT.TXT S:BBSADVERT.TXT will be added to the archive given as filename. ADVERT=DH2:BBS/ADVERT/ All files in DH2:BBS/ADVERT/ will be added to the archive. NOTE: This option supports the ability to add empty directories. NOTE: If you want to use LZXstrip in DirectoryOpus just make a new entry as an AmigaDOS command and type |_ |__ __ |__ __ __ __ .-- | __ l__| )l_/_ |__)| '(__||| )|- |l_l_/_.--. .--------------------------------' | `---------------------------------------------' Now there are 2 brainfiles since this version. One for normal & wildcard stripping and one for CRC-32 stripping. You can edit the brainfiles to add new banners you want to strip, But put only one filename or CRC-32 in each line. NOTE: The stripper searches CASE SENSITIVE. 1.The CRC-32 stripfile (): ---------------------------------------- First of all, if you do NOT know what a CRC is then read about it in the manual of LZX! This is absolutely necessary if you want to use the entire power of this option. With the CRC-32 strip option you have the possibility to strip bbs advertisements with random generated filenames. To add a new CRC-32 to just list the LZX-archive with the option instead of and than add the CRC of the files you want to be stripped. NOTE: You can only strip files that are not modified in any way, for example by adding the uploader and/or time. This changes the CRC. 2.The normal incl. wildcard brainfile (): -------------------------------------------------------- Examples: 1. You want to strip from an archive. Simply add to . 2. You want to strip from an archive. Right: add <"C D S"> to . Wrong: add to . 3. You want to strip all files ending with <.displayme>. Simply use wildcards and add <#?.displayme> to . 4. You want to strip all files like . So just add to . 5. You want to strip <.| 5 NODES OF PURE HARDCORE |> from an archive. Right: add <.[|]5 NODES OF PURE HARDCORE [|]> or <#?5 NODES OF PURE HARDCORE#?> to . 6. You want to strip < .nfo> from an archive. Right: add <" .nfo"> to . Wrong: add < .nfo> to . how to use wildcard characters ------------------------------ ? matches a single character. # matches the following expression 0 or more times. (ab|cd) matches any one of the items seperated by '|'. ~ negates the following expression. it matches all strings that do not match the expression (aka ~(foo) matches all strings that are not exactly "foo"). [abc] character class: matches any of the characters in the class. [~bc] character class: matches any of the characters not in the class. a-z character range (only within character classes). % matches 0 characters always (useful in "(foo|bar|%)"). * synonym for "#?", not available by default in 2.0. available as an option that can be turned on. "expression" in the above table means either a single character (ex: "#?"), or an alternation (ex: "#(ab|cd|ef)"), or a character class (ex: "#[a-za-z]"). read the amiga dos manual for more information how to use the wildcard characters |__ __ |_ __ __ | )|`--.l__,(__)| 'l__| .------l___|------------.__|--. `-----------------------------' LZXstrip 1.o && 1.o1 - Never released (only for me) LZXstrip 1.o2 (17.o1.96) - First public release LZXstrip 2.o (22.o1.96) - Total rewritten code - Speedup LZXstrip 2.o1 (xx.yy.zz) - Never released LZXstrip 2.o2 (o2.o2.96) - Speed improvements - Added wildcard supporting LZXstrip 2.o3 (o9.o3.96) - Memory bug fixed - Now real wildcard supporting - Optimized code - Now only one brainfile LZXstrip 2.1 (23.o3.96) - Optimized code - Speed improvements LZXstrip 2.11 (o9.o5.96) - Optimized code - Added SHOW option - No need for File_ID.library anymore LZXstrip 2.2o (22.o9.96) - Added BBS option to use BBS-look - Added TEST option for file testing - Added CHECK option to show ads - Added CRC-32 scanner - Added NOZERO option to kill files with ZERO length. - Added ADVERT option to add banners to archive. - New design - Total new code - New documents |_ __ __ |__ __ __ __ | __ .--__ _____ |__,l_/_(___| )| )|(___(__|l_, || )|-(__)`--. | .-----------------------------------------' l__| | `-----------------------------------------------------' __ .\/------------------------------------------. | | ! ! | lINES iN sOURCEcODE: 368 · bYTElEN oF sOURCEcODE: 12964 bYTES · | . : tIME oF cODING: sINCE dEC'95 ¦ ! mUSIC sUPPORT: tECHNO & aCID & | | pROG. hOUSE | | | `------------------------------------------/\' ¯¯ .--. |_ __ __ ___ __ __ __ __ ___ __ __ |_ |-|__||__,|__|l 'l_/_ || | )|__)l '(__)\_/l_/_| | )l_/_| )|__, .--|-----------------------|-----|-------------------------------------. `----------------------------------------------------------------------' Still working on intelligent stripping.
