Is there a parts joining script for rejoining the parts of a uuencoded binary or source file before uudecoding? I've just been doing it by hand and I'm getting tired of it, cutting out the header and comments, etc. I wand something that will take all the mailed/posted part and make one .uue file I can send to our VAX for uudecoding (the uudecode on the SUN tends not to work). I don't want to bother doing my own if someone has one that works (UNIX is still new to me). If you have one that you like, please e-mail it or post it. I can't ftp off site so I'd need it SENT TO me. Thanks for the help. SLATFATF, Bion

I've just been doing it by hand and I've been using the awk script that follows on our Unix systems successfully for quite a while. If you run it on a file that has all the parts of a distribution in it in numerical order, it'll strip the extraneous stuff out of it and output a file suitable for uudecoding. To use it, you can paste it into a file called 'stripuue.awk', copy it into your News directory, and add this line to your .cshrc: alias strip 'awk -f ~/News/stripuue.awk' (To be able to use the shell alias immediately, type "source .cshrc" at the csh prompt.) Thereafter, when you save a set of binaries/sources with the 's' command, you can use the same filename for each to effectively concatenate all the parts into one file (but make sure they are cat'ed in the correct order...sometimes part03 comes before part02, etc.) Then you can just type something like: strip filename > stripped.filename and you should be able to uudecode the "stripped.filename" at that point without problems. 'stripuue.awk' follows: -------Delete everything above this line, inclusive---------------- BEGIN { mode=0 } $1!="table" && mode==0 { } $1=="table" && mode==0 { mode=1; print $0 } mode==1 && $1!="table" && $1!="include" { print $0 } $1=="include" && mode==1 { mode=2; } $1=="include" && mode==0 { mode=2; } $1=="begin" && mode==2 { mode=1 } -------Delete everything below this line, inclusive---------------- plin -- To mak wridin mo eficiend, i sujes de folouin janjs: drop deleder 'c', as 'k' uil do jus fin. gt rid of endn 'e', sins ids nevr pronncd aniuai. als, 't' is nevr nedd; us 'd'. repeddv knsnnds shd b nls bpp ngbbl rr...01011101

The Dumas uudecode with additions by myself and others will decode these files without editing out the headers (assuming that they are properly encoded). The file can be in one or multiple files.

Sorry, I do not understand this shell script. Don't all versions of Dumas' uud strip extraneous headers and trailers from uuencoded files? The problem arises with all the nonstandard decoders/encoders that exist. I use GNUS for reading, and I call uud directly from the Article buffer in the case that the encoding is complete. Otherwise, if the article is recognized as a `uud' part, then the proper named part file is automatically saved. Cheers, -- Ralph P.

You can use a simple sed command to do just what you want: cat myfile.u?? | sed /^include/,/^begin/d > myfile.myuue Cat will get the files in alphabetic order, sed strips all the lines between "include myfile..." and "begin part..." (inclusively). The resulting file will still contain the lines before the first "begin..." but uudecode doesn't bother with that. (Be sure to name the resulting file so it doesn't get an argument to cat, too :-) You can set yourself an alias for the command sequence above or make it a shell script.

Does anyone have this? Get the file 'uux789.zoo' from atari.archive.umich.edu in the archivers directory. It contains TOS executables uud.ttp and uue.ttp. It also has source code for both the encoder and decoder that may be compiled under GEM, UNIX, and MS-DOS. The uud will work with multi-part files that are concatenated in order. It also works if the files are just in the same directory as the first file provided they are properly named. There is a doc file included. I use these programs on my ST and on the UNIX box here. My only 'complaint' is that sequence checking is only done on the first file of a multi-file set. However, it hasn't bothered me enough to get me to look at the sources to fix it. 8^) -- Paul Good INTERNET: os9paul@gkcl.ists.ca UUCP: ...!ists!gkcl.ists.ca!os9paul

I have some code that I wrote that will get rid of all the crap in catted together uuencoded files. Usually I just pipe the output to uudecode, but you can indirect it to a file if you like. It seems to work fine, I haven't had any problems. If you want it, email me, and I'll send it out (source). Andy Coook acook@athena.mit.edu

One does not need such a complicated script. UUD will ignore the parts that it does not need. It jumps from the "include", past the mail or news header, and straight to the next "begin" line.

Bill's version works fine, but I also have an older UUD that chokes
if there's too much junk between include and begin.
Remember the GEM-based uuencoder/uudecoder that I mentioned I was
working on? Somehow, in ripping the decoder out of WD.C, I managed
to break that feature; my program now won't manage concatenated files
that include lots of trash. As soon as I have the right combination
of spare time and caffeine I should be able to get it fixed and post
the program to comp.binaries and comp.souces.
