Hello tpu.gurus!
I've got a series of things that I would like Eve/TPU to do for me.
From everything that I have read and/or seen, TPU can do it for me. What I'd
like to know is has someone else ever written something like this? If not,
then where and at what should I start with in the TPU manual?
I'd like it to do:
1) Run a DCL command file, and capture the output into another buffer.
Yes, I know that can be done with DCL etc.., but I wanted a more
'elegant' solution to it. I'd like it all automatic. Minimal user effort
required.
2) Have it look for the 'From:' line in a message, extract the persons
name/address and put it into a format like '*Name/Addr just extracted* wrote:'
Basically a 'poor mans newsreader.'
That's all the 'wants' that I have at the moment. ;-) If no such
animals exist now, can someone tell me where I'd need to start at? (Yes, I am
a TPU newbie :)
Thanks for any help/ideas in advance!
