  • lastus##.bbs high ascii, found it!

    From Richard Webb@1:116/901 to all on Monday, May 12, 2008 19:35:50
    Hello all!


    Did some experimenting and found what I needed.

    Objective was to separate the user's name from everything else in the file to plug that into other files, hence allowing max and other programs to share the same log. Max places ascii 256 characters between user's last name and location. Once I found them, I was able to replace them with cr/lf characters,
    and by some batch file maneuvers get the first line into the place I wanted it
    in another file.

    OF course we've copied lastus##.bbs to another file before manipulating it.

    Just in case anybody else wanted to know out there.


    Regards,
    Richard
