addbook V1.4 By Simon Raybould 1990
Fixes from V1.1
- After using PrintFiles, V1.1 had problems finding data file
from workbench correctly. This was do to me not using file
locks in quite the correct manner. This is fixed in this version.
- New icon for data file.
Bug fixes from V1.3
- Version 1.3 had a very embarassing bug that would only show after
the second use of the program from CLI. When the program was called
for the second time from CLI, the machine would GURU with type
00000003 or 00000004, i.e. Illegal instruction or Addressing error.
I have fixed this in this in this version.
Archive contents:
Addbook - Executable program.
Addbook.doc - This document.
Addbook.doc.info - Icon for this document.
Address - Sample data file
Address.info - Example for workbench usage.
This program is to search a data file for a pattern and then display
the name, address and phone number for that person.
The address is line split by commas. (see the example data file).
This program is freely re-distributable and I fully hope that it is of
some use and encourage its distribution.
To use from cli just type:-
addbook <datafile>
To use from workbench, the address book file should have 'addbook' in its
default tool gadget. (Use info from workbench). This is assuming that the
executable is in the same directory as the data file. If not the the
full path to the executable should be in the default tool slot.
The example given has been set up to work from workbench by just double
clicking on the data file.
The advantage being that you can single click on the data file, hold shift
and then double click on you favorite editor (such as emacs) and add more
names and addresses.
Alternativly, you can create an icon for addbook, click once on it,
hold shift and double click on the data file from workbench.
USAGE
To use just type the string to search for into the string gadget and press
RETURN, if the first match is not the one you want then click on the next
gadget and the next match will be displayed.
In the data file, COLONS are used to seperate fields and commas in the
address will split the address up onto seperate lines. See the sample
data file for more information.
Any suggestions, bugs e.t.c should be sent to me and I will endevour to send
a fixed version.
