- 1) HOW TO USE ZOCXFER.ZRX
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The ZOCXFER.ZRX file is called before and after every file transfer.
- Parameters identify the type of event (see table below) at which
- ZOCXFER.ZRX is called. This lets you do things before and after file
- transfers according to your needs (see examples below).
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2) CALL PARAMETERS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ---------------------------- ------------------------------------------
- EVENT PARAMETER(S)
- ---------------------------- ------------------------------------------
- Before upload 'PRE' 'UPLOAD' '<full filename>'
- Before download 'PRE' 'DOWNLOAD' '<full filename>'
- After upload 'POST' 'UPLOAD' '<full filename>'
- After download 'POST' 'DOWNLOAD' '<full filename>'
- ---------------------------- ------------------------------------------
-
- You can split the call argument into its parts with a simple PARSE
- command:
-
- PARSE ARG WITH "'"prepost"' '"updownload"' '"file"'"
-
- The file name is fully qualified and can be split into its parts
- (filepath, filename, filestem, fileext) by the following sequence
- of commands:
-
- filepath= FILESPEC("Path", file);
- filename= FILESPEC("Name", file);
- PARSE VALUE filename WITH filestem"."fileext
-
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2) RETURN VALUE
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- In case of uploads, ZOCXFER.ZRX has to return the name of the file
- that should be uploaded. This can be either the name provided as a
- parameter, or a changed name (in case ZOCXFER.ZRX decided to upload
- another file instead).
-
-
-

- 3) EXAMPLES
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Here are a few ideas of things that could be done in ZOCXFER.ZRX
-
-
- 3.1) BEFORE UPLOADS
-
- * Write your own up/download log with date, type and filename:
-
- CALL LINEOUT "mylog.dat", DATE("S")||" "||updownload||" "||filename
-
- * Automatically archive fido ".REP" files, in a special directory
- with <YYYYMMDD>.REP as the file name:
-
- ADDRESS CMD "COPY "||filename||" C:\REPILES\"||DATE("S")||".REP"
-
- * if it is a ".TXT" file, use ZIP (or PGP) and upload the ZIP file
- instead:
-
- IF fileext=".TXT" THEN DO
- /* newfile will be uploaded instead (see "return newfile") */
- newfile= filestem||".ZIP"
-
- /* run ZIP <newfile> <filename> */
- ADDRESS CMD "ZIP "||newfile||" "||filename
- END
-
-
- 3.2) BEFORE DOWNLOADS
-
- * Write your own up/download log with date, type and filename:
-
- CALL LINEOUT "log.dat", DATE("S")||" "||updownload||" "||filename
-
- * Redirect files to other directories using your own scheme by
- setting "newfile" to another directory and file name:
-
- IF fileext=".ZIP" THEN DO
- /* download to directory C:\DOWNLOAD\ZIPFILES
- newfile= "C:\DOWNLOAD\ZIPFILES\"||filename
- END
- IF fileext=".QWK" THEN DO
- /* download to directory C:\DOWNLOAD\QWKFILES
- newfile= "C:\DOWNLOAD\QWKFILES\"||filename
- END
-
-
- 3.3) AFTER UPLOADS
-
- * Automatically delete temporary files
-
-
- 3.4) AFTER DOWNLOADS
-
- * Automatically unzip files:
-
- IF fileext=".ZIP" THEN DO
- zippath= "C:\DOWNLOAD\NEWFILES\"||filestem
- ADDRESS CMD "MD "||zippath
- ADDRESS CMD "UNZIP "||file||" "||zippath
- END
