Short: Clean up your fortunes database, V2.2
Author: wnoeker@t-online.de (Wilhelm Noeker)
Uploader: wnoeker@t-online.de (Wilhelm Noeker)
Type: util/misc
This archive contains a team of programs to help you maintain your
cookie database:
"CookieTool" itself eliminates duplicate entries,
sorts alphabetically or by size if you wish.
"CdbSplit" extracts parts to a seperate file, by keyword,
by size, by number, or as groups of 'similar' cookies.
They are intended for users of "Cookie", "IntuiCookie" (both available
on Aminet, util/misc/), or generally for any plain text cookie
database with entries separated by "%%" lines. They are nice for
crunching your cookie collection by a few KByte of duplicate stuff, but
also for splitting it into seperate files, for example extracting
quotations or dumping those cookies too big to be fun to read.
Note that "CookieTool" and "CdbSplit" know how to handle the database
itself, but not how to update the corresponding index file (also called
'hash file'). That means you still need "cookhash" (which should be
included with your cookie display program).
New since V2.1:
Options for sorting by size, searching for combinations of keywords,
and for extracting without modifying the original database.
New since V2.0:
Fixed a severe bug that would overwrite an input file even when
the new file was incomplete due to "Disk Full".
New since V1.3:
Much easier to use (and a little safer, I think), but quite different,
too. Make sure you read the docs when upgrading from V1.x!
More sort options, can delete 'abbreviations', can extract groups of
'similar' cookies, sorting and deleting now always in *one* pass.
When choosing among 'almost identical' cookies, those towards the
top of the input file will survive. (Was left to chance in earlier
versions.)
"CookieTool" and "CdbSplit" are freeware, C-source is included.
You might also be interested in "OrySplit", which can convert Usenet
Oracularities (you know rec.humor.oracle, don't you?) to cookie format.
