    From Avon@21:1/101 to All on Wednesday, May 17, 2023 12:08:40
    Looking for suggestions so I can take an ANSI inter-bbs score file and turn it into something that I can upload and display on fsxnet.nz

    Thanks :)

    You could also display it with any ansi editor on your desktop and take a screen shot of it ;)

    I'll second the recommendation, and share the basic script I used for getting pngs for all the ANSI files in the directory I ran the scrip from:

    april@storm:~/ansiconvert$ cat convertANSIs.sh

    #!/bin/bash
    dir=$1
    for file in `ls $1/*.ans`
    do
    ansilove $file
    done

    If memory serves, this was basically the easiest way for me to get all my calendar ANSIs into an image format, rather than exporting them directly in Moebius, one at a time.

    It's an invaluable program for this sort of usage.

    True but I am looking for a way to automate a process and this sounds like it may not work for that, but thanks for the suggestion :)

    apologies for the slow reply, just checking some messages while I am on the road (and can).

    Thanks for the validation and the script :)
