• Your oneline script

    From Alan Ianson@1:153/757 to Rudi Timmermans on Mon Jun 3 13:56:40 2019
    Hello Rudi,

    Are you taking requests? :)

    I am using your oneline script here and have a request. Would it be possible to
    add a "Save (Y/N)" prompt?

    I sometimes get in there and can't come up with anything worth saving ATM so I would just like to get out for now and try again later.. ;)

    Also would it be possible as an option perhaps to save all those oneliners to a
    separate file that continues to grow? It would make a good source (I think) for taglines for things like MultiMail.

    add a "Save (Y/N)" prompt?

    Yes shure i will see what i can do ;)

    Also would it be possible as an option perhaps to save all those oneliners to
    separate file that continues to grow? It would make a good source (I think) for taglines for things like MultiMail.

    As it is now it saved to a separate file. as far i remember, i will check.

    Greetings,

    Hi Alan,

    I am using your oneline script here and have a request. Would it be possible t
    add a "Save (Y/N)" prompt?

    Can you give me some more info what you like to add do you one have a Save Promt instant off the Add onliner or do you one have it after you add a onliner ?

    Also would it be possible as an option perhaps to save all those oneliners to
    separate file that continues to grow? It would make a good source (I think) for taglines for things like MultiMail.

    The oneliner are write into the oneliner.dat file in your bbbs/script directory.

    Thanks!

    Rudi

    Hello Rudi,

    I am using your oneline script here and have a request. Would it be possible >> add a "Save (Y/N)" prompt?

    Can you give me some more info what you like to add do you one have a Save
    Promt instant off the Add onliner or do you one have it after you add a online
    ?

    After chosing "yes" to add a one liner I sometimes find I couldn't make what I was trying say fit in the space provided, or couldn't find the right words so I
    would like to quit and that point but currently there is no way to quit without saving something.

    When someone enters a oneliner perhaps we could display what it would like like
    and ask if they would like to save it?

    Also would it be possible as an option perhaps to save all those oneliners to >> separate file that continues to grow? It would make a good source (I think) >> for taglines for things like MultiMail.

    This is likely outside of what your script is trying to do and maybe I should work with the oneliner.dat myself.

    The oneliner are write into the oneliner.dat file in your bbbs/script directory.

    Yes, the oneliner.dat is good for BBS display along with the name of the person
    who entered it. It looks good and I don't want to mess with that file.

    My use here is for an external tagline file for MultiMail or GoldEd or other readers that can use a file like that.

    If it was possible I'd like another file like taglines.txt maybe, with just the
    oneliners as they are entered without any formatting or extra text, one per line. Here's a few lines of a tegline file I have here now (I'd like to grow it!).. as an example..

    ---- import bigin ----

    A diamond is just coal that has been under a lot of pressure! A mind is a terrible thing to.. OH DOOM ][ is here! Age and treachery can always overcome youth and skill. Bit: The increment by which programmers slowly go mad

    ---- import end ----

    Thank for considering all this.. :)

    Ok i need some time to think about this but i try to make it this way.

    If you like i can send you the code and you can work also yourself on it if you like to do this. Just let me know.

    i'm pointing this out so others do not think your tagline file is all wrapped together like it looks at first glance based on your import...

    like to do this. Just let me know.

    I am not a programmer by any definition of the word, but I might be a small time hacker. If you send me the code I could probably find a way (with a little
    help) to have the script create a taglines.txt file that I could use for this purpose.

    Ah.. word wrapping is your friend, most of the time..

    I'll have to be mindfull of that if I ever post anything from a file.

    I've added CR/LF line endings to that snippit (it was just LF) and I'll import it again. I think it'll look as expected.. :)

    Well, my second import worked better but still no quite as expected.

    I'll try another snippit (the last one!) with MultiMail and see how that goes.

    Ok i see and understand, if you can wait a bit i can see i can change the code i can take a look on it into the weekend.

    Hello mark,

    nope... wrapped to hades again...

    That wrapping is not in the localy saved message. It seems that BBBS is going to wrap outbound messages though.

    that or something in the path has done it like we've seen with CR's being forced in...

    I don't think so. I receive messages in this area from 153/757 to 757.1 with AfterShock and I see the word wrapping there also.

    Aftershock is on my phone so it's hard to see since the screen on my phone is small so everything is wrapped..

    One day I'll get a tablet so I can get a better interface.. :)

    ahhh... yeah, it might be the tosser doing it when it really should not be... the BBS should be handling the wrapping or not as needed by the user and their settings... the tosser should simply be scanning mail out as it is and tossing mail in as it is... other than writing and updating a few control lines, that's all the tosser should be doing...

    Aftershock is on my phone so it's hard to see since the screen on my
    phone is small so everything is wrapped..

    even if you rotate it 90 degrees so it is wide?

    One day I'll get a tablet so I can get a better interface.. :)

    i haven't tried doing fidonet on my android tablet or iphone (i5) yet... the phone is too small to do much more than pictures... the tablet is big enough but i just haven't messed with it other than maybe looking at the web GUI side of my sbbs install a few times to see how it renders...
