For command line and batch file experts, and "no DOS sound" update.
Hi gang,
First, in case anyone cares, an update - I like giving updates as a way of letting people who helped me whether their efforts were for something or nothing. You may recall some "can't get DOS sound" posts about 6 weeks ago or so... I ****ed around with about 25 Creative driver and customization files, making a little progress but never getting 100% success. In the end I said **** it and wiped the drive clean. I now have DOS 100% sound running on my 14.5 yr old machine - I had to do it the brutal way, wiping the drive, installing DOS 6.21, adding partitions, and running the DOS setup for my card. It was THAT easy - once there was no Windows or anything else on the machine. Now, getting some of the games to play is another matter... Anyway, again, many thanks to those who helped. +++ Now to the "probleme du jour". I'd like to prune my newsrc file(s) since as you know, many groups get 10 posts a year, if that. Others get 30,000 posts a day, but those are easier to avoid and there's a /lot/ less of them. I have tried at least two dozen text processors including Ultra Edit etc., and no one will do this, i.e. remove all lines containing a string of numbers lower than, say, 200. It could be done manually, by doing a search 200 times, and deleting each line manually, but I don't think ANYONE could live through THAT experience - certainly I could not. It just occurred to me that if I replaced all the tabs between group name and # of posts with a comma, I could POSSIBLY somehow do this in a spreadsheet program, but I have used a spreadsheet MAYBE three times in my life. Still, any suggestions about that would be welcomed as well as an alternative. Still, if any of you are brilliant enough to think of a command line or batch file which would take the following (these are the first 25 groups my provider carries): 0 65 0.akita-inu 119 0.alaskan-malamute 46 0.alaskan-malamutes 46 0.siberian-huskys 55 0.test 3935 1.a 51 1.a.bovine 67 1.alaskan-malamute 30 1.beginners.sex 1116 1.binaries.pictures.erotica 17048 1.new-zealand.dogowners 23 1.siberian-huskys 34 1.test 1340 12hr 61 12hr.sex.abnormal 540 12hr.sex.normal 483 12hr.sex.oral 1543 1a.greenville.goal 27 1a.pacificcoastnet 2 1stone.archive 21 23hoursupport.helpdesk 5 24hoursupport.helpdesk 64204 388.talk 1 3b 88 and change it to 0.test 3935 1.beginners.sex 1116 1.binaries.pictures.erotica 17048 1.test 1340 12hr.sex.abnormal 540 12hr.sex.normal 483 12hr.sex.oral 1543 24hoursupport.helpdesk 64204 I would REALLY appreciate it.

It's only been half a day but I think it'll be spreadsheet time for this one. -- "We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are." Anais Nin |
