FUNCTION
========
Change filenotes.
Well suitable for mass-updating,
filenote backup and interchange of filenotes (import/export).
COMPATIBILITY
=============
It runs on:
* classic Amigas (680xx CPU, kickstart v1.3 and above).
(older kickstarts might also work).
* PPC-equipped Amigas with at least OS4.1
(OS4.0 might also work).
FEATURES:
=========
* Convert letters to uppercase or lowercase.
* Misc. "uppercase options":
* Make 1st. letter uppercase.
* Make 1st. letter after a character uppercase
(the user can specify one or more such characters).
* Make roman numerals uppercase (ex: xvIi -> XVII).
* Flexible filters:
* Wildcards are supported.
* Perform actions on selected substrings.
* Perform actions before or after a substring.
* Case sensitive or case insensitive pattern matching.
* Replace filenotes (or parts of it, if a filter is used).
* Insert new text:
* At the start or after the end.
* Before or after a chosen filter.
* Remove CTRL-characters. These are characters which are displayed
as strange and meaningless characters, like f.ex squares.
* Align according to a selected substring.
* Export to a file in a fileformat that PC programs like
"Total Commander" accepts. This makes it possible to let
"Total Commander" show the filenotes.
It's also useful for backup purposes.
* Import from a file (the same file format as above).
This comes in handy when:
* copying files from poor file systems which doesn't support
filenotes, and store the notes on your Amiga as real filenotes
(nothing beats the real thing, eh?).
* efficiently mass-update filenotes based on other sources,
like f.ex. URL's etc.
* you need to restore your filenotes (backup).
* Can perform multiple actions on filenotes in one go (&&-option),
which otherwise had to be done via several calls to JustComm.
This is also more efficient, since each filenote will not
be written to disk more than once
(except when using the IMP and -g options).
* Most of the features above can be combined together.
* Flexible selection of files:
* Filenames can be up to 108 characters long.
* Multi filename support.
* Wildcards.
* Very efficient processing.
History
=======
v1.16 (7.Mar.2010). Changes:
----------------------------
* Corrected bugs related to the |#| and |U| wildcards. Details:
* |#|: When choosing files by putting this wildcard last,
JustComm selected more files than expected.
Example:
JustComm "File|#|" -u
...selected f.ex. "File1", "File2" & "File1a"
...while the expected selection was "File1" & "File2"
* |U|: When using this wildcard in your SEL-string,
combined with the -i, -a and REP-options
(insert a string after each lower->UPPERCASE change),
this sometimes didn't work.
It worked fine for the 1st, 3rd, 5th etc. occurrence,
but not the 2nd., 4th, 6th etc.
* Corrected a bug related to the export option (EXP/EXA/EXO). Details:
Files which couldn't be processed because of an error
were included in the exported file.
* Improved performance. When inserting text after a selected string,
execution is faster now compared to v1.15.
v1.15 (3.Jan.2010). Changes:
----------------------------
* Standard input redirection is now supported.
This means you can let JustComm read the args from a textfile.
F.ex.: JustComm ? <MyArgs.txt
* Max number of allowed &&'s is increased from 4 to 7.
* New option ZER (leading zeros in numbers).
* New options EXP, EXO, EXA (export filenotes to a file).
* New option IMP (import filenotes from a file).
* New option -g (align).
* More flexible search&replace functionality:
* New option -S. Makes it possible to do case sensitive searches.
* New option -i (insert).
* New option -b (select before).
* New option -a (select after).
* Added support for 2 new wildcards:
* |#| : Searches for a number.
* |U| : Searches for an uppercase letter placed
immediatly after a lowercase letter.
* Removed obsolete options:
* The -c option (make copyright-sign (C) uppercase).
Tip: Use Search&Replace instead.
* The option to choose "any character set".
Note: "Any character set" is still default.
v1.12 (12.Feb.2000). Changes:
-----------------------------
* Fixed a bug: JustComm seemed to abort processing if a file
couldn't be found or a file was in use. This bug only occurred
on Amigas with kickstart 2.0 or better. It worked fine on Amigas
with kickstart older than 2.0.
* Fixed a bug: When selecting substrings using the '|?|' wildcard,
the substring could in some cases not be found.
* Internal changes.
v1.11 (7.Dec.1999). Changes:
----------------------------
* Fixed a bug which occurred if replace-strings (REP) were too long.
* Internal improvements.
v1.10 (4.Dec.1999). Changes:
----------------------------
* New option -f (copy filename to filenote).
* New option && (multiple changes of filenotes).
* Replace complete filenote or selected substrings with a new one.
* Supports wildcards in filename(s) and when selecting substrings.
* Some other changes.
v1.00 (6th. Aug. 1999):
-----------------------
* Initial Aminet release.
