[Translation from the german text 'CLI.liesmich'. Translation by Markus
Illenseer, proofread by Jürgen Weinelt]
Because you have found this file, you probably don't use the
Workbench, but the shell to browse the Meeting Pearls II. We have
tried to make this release more comfortable to use than the previous
Meeting Pearls.
--- Required Assigns ---
First of all you should start the script "SYS/S/Meeting-Startup" to
set some search pathes and some assigns.
--- finding software packages ---
With the help of pgrep (found in C/pgrep) you can search for arbitrary
expressions in our indices. The manual of pgrep can be found in
'Pearls/dev/pattern.library+pgrep'. Please note that pgrep does not
just search for strings but also for AmigaDOS-patterns and can be run
on all Kickstart versions since 1.2. The pattern.library must be
present though. If you use AmigaDOS-Patterns, the search will
obviously take more time to complete than the search for a simple
string.
Example:
pgrep CD-ROM Index/Path_Short
All software packages containing the word 'CD-ROM' in the path or short
description will be found and displayed.
As a shell-user you certainly have quite a lot of other interesing
possibilities for further use of the output! To help you there, we
wrote three small tools which are capable to work comlumn-wise on text
files and are fully pipeable. These tools can be found in the
C-drawer.
copycolumn: Takes stdin and writes characters from char <n> to <m> per
line to stdout.
deletecolumn: Takes stdin and writes the remaining characters from <n>
to <m> to stdout.
insertcolumn: Inserts a string from stdin from char <n> per line. This
can be the same string or consecutive lines of a file.
Therefor the following constructions are possible:
pgrep CD-ROM Index/All | deletecolumn 67 51 | deletecolumn 149 41 |
deletecolumn 200 1000
We recommend that you wrap these tools into some macros or aliases to
fit your personal use.
--- Copying software packages ---
You should use the script 'CopyToHD' to copy software packages to your
hard disk drive. You can find it in the SYS/S-drawer.
The parameter FROM and TO should be self-explanantory. You specify
the desired source and destination drawer. USEMETATOOL installs some
stuff for MetaTool on your harddisk. As CLI-User you probably won't
want to specify this argument.
The script expects that some environment variables are set. It
requires one environment variable for each metatype. Each of these
variables contains a string which will be set into the defaulttool of
each icon which contains the corresponding metatype as tooltype. Just
set FPMTTEXT to your favourite text viewer, FPMTGUIDE to AmigaGuide or
MultiView etc. If you have installed Matthias' MetaTool, it is
probably useful just to specify 'METATOOL' as argument. The MetaTool
will be loaded and will use the configuration file to decide which
program to start. Please read the manual for MetaTool.
CopyToHD does not only copy drawers, it also repairs the protection
flags and the filenotes that were lost during the ISO9660 mastering.
Also all the default tools ":C/MetaTool" will be replaced according to
your parameters and depending from the tooltype METATYPE.
And now - enjoy your new Meeting Pearls II CD-ROM!
