FBB sysops

A file passed through the network some time ago that triggered of the following
It's been done before but here goes anyway. It captures and decodes any 7PLUS
files sent as bulletins through the network. It requires little maintenance 
from the sysop and uses version 2 or greater 7PLUS.EXE

This is the line in CRON.SYS

============

D C:\FBB\7PCAPT\7PEXTRCT.BAT

=========
This is the forward file

===========

A 7PCAPT
  #
  #Capture all bulls to file and extract 7plus files at clean up
  P @
  C C:\FBB\7PCAPT\7PCAPT.TXT
  #
  G GBR
  G EU
  G EURO
  G WW

Here is the actuall batch file called 7pextrct.bat

================
@ECHO OFF
set capdir=c:\fbb\7pcapt
set savedir=c:\public\7plfiles
cd %capdir%
IF not exist 7pcapt.txt goto decode
ECHO extracting from capture file
7plus -x -y 7pcapt.txt
del 7pcapt.txt
:decode
for %%F in (*.cor) do 7plus -k -y %%F
for %%F in (*.7pl) do 7plus -k -y %%F
for %%F in (*.p01) do 7plus -k -y %%F
ECHO Move decoded files
for %%F in (*.exe *.com *.zip *.arc *.gif *.lzh *.arj) do copy %%F %savedir%
for %%F in (*.exe *.com *.zip *.arc *.gif *.lzh *.arj) do del %%F
ECHO All decoded
===============

Change the savedir and capdir to your own directories.

The basic idea is that the BBS captures ALL bulletins to a file called
7pcapt.txt  (c:\fbb\7pcapt\7pcapt.txt) 4 times a day the batch file 7pcapt.bat 
is launced from cron.sys. Change the times to suite your system.

A list of file types (*.zip *.exe *.com etc) are then moved to
c:\public\7plfiles when they have been created by the 7plus util.  You need
version 2 7plus as this will delete parts not needed after conversion thus 
keep the trash to a minimum.

Interseting how much data is flying around. In the 4 weeks i've been running
the system it has captured 135 files with 2116kb of data,
The only maintenance is to delete the few xxxx.p55 file from a set of 190 from 
some far away land!!!!!!

Have fun!
