MOB-Trim v2.00ß by Nathan Hartwell (1:362/116)
Usage: mob-trim [config_file]
MOB-Trim is a log file fat trimming utility. It's original purpose was to
trim Maximus, Opus, and BinkleyTerm log files. It will, however, work with
logs from other programs so long as they are in the same style (format) as
the previously mentioned program.
The program needs no arguments, however, you may specify a config file to use
as the first (and only) parameter.
The default config filename is MOB-TRIM.CFG
-- Config File Format
The first line of the config file is the log file name. This can be a full
path, or just the name if the file is in the current directory. MOB-Trim
can now process multiple log file by adding multiple log filenames on this
line separated by a space. Max line length is 240 characters.
The second line is for the 'days-old' purge routine. Put the # of days you
want to keep in the log or use "0" to ignore entry age. If multiple log
files are used, you can specify a value for each log by separating them with
a space. If only one value is specified, all logs will use that one value.
Each additional line uses the following syntax:
<char> <string>
Where <char> is the first character found in each log entry and <string> is
the string to match up with. (NOTE: <string> is case sensitive)
That's bascially it. I can be reached via FidoNet 1:362/962 (or hopefully
1:362/116). Enjoy the program!
Thanks to John Finney of 1:362/701 for his testing and suggestion of config
setup. And thanks to Shawn Stoddard of 1:362/101 for his help in debugging.
