    From Thomas Bampi@VERT to All on Fri Apr 24 15:18:21 2020
    Hello All!

    is there a way to export all the messages in a given area in a text format with
    as many files as there are messages?

    Bye

    Hello All!

    is there a way to export all the messages in a given area in a text format with as many files as there are messages?

    That'd be a pretty easy JavaScript to write. Have you looked at any of the exec/*.js files for examples?

    Hi digital man, unfortunately I don't have much programming experience can you advise me? Or maybe you already know one ...

    There isn't one that does exactly what you want already, no. But if you started with say, msgutil.js, it wouldn't be a lot of code to add to dump messages to text files.

    I went ahead and added a "-export" option to exec/msgutil.js http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/exec/msgutil.js

    So if you run "jsexec <msgbase-code> -export", it'll export every message in that message base to a separate .txt file in your sbbs/temp directory. Let me know if you had something different in mind.

    Should that be "jsexec msgutil.js <msgbase-code> -export" ?

    Right, I mis-typed that.
