Text Conditioner V1.0 Document
This Shareware program is freely distributable as long as the document
and program remain together unchanged. Not responsible for any damage or
loss of data or anything else bad that happens in your life.
Text Conditioner was written to add or remove carriage returns from
text, remove ANSII color codes, or remove all but necessary and visible
ASCII characters (great for finding text in those big game files!).
Text Conditioner has a command line argument for the path/filename of
the original file and the new file and a switch, all must be supplied
correctly.
Usage:
tc <source path/filename> <destination path/filename> <switch>
Switches:
a adds carriage return to <filename>
o only ASCII characters remain from <filename>
r removes carriage returns from <filename>
s strips ANSII color codes from <filename>
Example:
tc ram:myfile.txt dh0:Text/myfile.new s
Only one switch at a time is supported. . Original files are only
read, so remain untouched and in the original place. Destination file
must have a different name or path, you cannot overwrite the original
file.
Unless you have a hard drive, it is HIGHLY recommended that you copy
the files to be processed to ram: then cd to ram: and start processing
there. To remove carriage returns from a 187 Kbyte file it took 10 seconds
in ram:, 17 seconds on a hard drive (A500 computer, A590 controller,
Quantum 105s drive), 270 seconds on a floppy and it was really grinding
away. On an A3000 speeds were about 1/6 of these times in ram: or hard
drive. Using ram: instead of a floppy should save some wear and tear on
your drive.
This was designed to be as bullet-proof as possible, but if you have
any bug reports, praises, flames, or a $5.00US Shareware fee, send them
to this address.
