Short: Fast ASCII code stripper with an edge (or two)
Author: rade@coli.uni-sb.de (Ralph Debusmann)
Uploader: rade@coli.uni-sb.de (Ralph Debusmann)
Type: util/conv
You have seen programs like this before. But this one does have an
edge (or two).
--
Introducing *nocode*...
*nocode* helps you remove (or replace) ASCII codes from files (text
files most commonly). For instance you might wish to remove all
CR-characters (ASCII 13) from an MS-DOS transferred file. It is an
improved clone of *StripCodes* (also in the Aminet util/conv-directory),
in case you know that program.
--
Improvements over similar programs...
* source and target files may be the same (i.e. target file is
overwritten)
* fast assembly language implementation of the core remove/replace
routines
* explicit (error) messages
--
*nocode*'s Usage is very similar to *Stripcodes*'...
* source and target files different
example: nocode file1 file2 code 13
... removes all characters with ASCII code 13 (=CR) from file1 and
writes the stripped data into file2 (file1 remains unchanged).
* same source and target
example: nocode file1 code 13
... same thing as above, only here the result of the stripping process
is written back into file1.
* replace characters
example 1: nocode file1 file2 code 13 replacecode 88
example 2: nocode file1 code 13 replacecode 88
... replace ASCII code 13 characters with ASCII code 88 ones (does not
remove anything, file length remains the same).
--
This is version 1.0, the first *nocode* release on Aminet.
Version 2.0 (some time in the future) is likely to improve on low memory
situations (so far *nocode* always needs approx. double the source file
length amount of memory). Too lazy for that now ,-]
*nocode* is public domain software.
The source in AmigaE³ and m68k inline assembly is included (thanks again
to Wouter for E³, this still fabulous, if unfortunately unportable,
language).
