- This drawer contains ARexx documentation and some scripts.
-
- DemoScript.ARexx
-
- This drives QuickFile to give a simple demo of some of the
- features of QuickFile. Start QuickFile, open the AddressBook file
- and then run this either from the shell or workbench.
-
- DelRecs.QuickFile
-
- This is a QuickFile macro to delete all records in the current
- index - This will usually be a selection.
- Run this from the Options/ARexx menu item.
-
- FindReplace.QuickFile
-
- This is a QuickFile macro to do a search and replace in a single field
- for all records of the current index. It will only replace the first
- occurrence of the string in each field.
-
- You are prompted line by line for the input required. You should not
- attempt to change a field used in the current index. You can do it but
- records may be missed. If you have only one index, sort the file on
- any other field and process the Sorted records.
-
- The search can match or ignore case
-
- You can replace a string with nothing.
-
- Run this from the Options/ARexx menu item.
-
- SetField.QuickFile
-
- This is a QuickFile macro to set a field to a requested value in
- all records in the current index - which would usually be a selection.
- Run this from the Options/ARexx menu item in QuickFile.
-
- Address.xdme
-
- This is a macro that will get address details from QuickFile and insert
- them into an XDME document. It should also work with later versions of
- DME. It assumes that QuickFile is running. If a file called
- Addressbook is not open, it tries to open one from the distribution
- diskette.
-
- Run this from dme with the command 'rx1 address aaaa' where aaaa is
- the name you want the address for.
-
- It should be easy to modify this for any text editor or word processor
-
- DME is an excellent text editor written by Matthew Dillon and XDME
- is an enhanced version based on it.
-
- There is also an example of a startup macro in the Examples/sales drawer.
- All this does is load a second view when you open the file. It does save a
- couple of mouse clicks and/or keystrokes.
