[comp.windows.ms] The Latest Updates To cica.cica.indiana.edu

burhans@mizar.usc.edu (Mustang Sally) (05/02/91)

Oops. Rereading the README file from cica.cica.indiana.edu I see
that the date IS included with the INDEX file in the format
YYMMDD. So I got the index and used the sort command to
sort by that date. Works pretty good. Only problem is now I don't
know what directory they are in. Well at least I learned something
new.

This stuff was uploaded in April. The sort command was
sort -rn +1 -2 indy.index -o indy.latest   
All the comments and sub-directory information sort of floated to
the top and I deleted it.

Me too!  That was the only serious flaw to the ugly hack I posted to
get the recent file listings from the INDEX.  It would be nice to have
output similar to the "du" command with relative path info.

For instance, the first seven files came from three different
subdirectories.  I suppose it now appropriate to discuss the format of
the INDEX files.  I *could* add the subdirectory name on each line
since the individual INDEX files are created by hand anyway:

>fish.zip	910430	bmp	 640x480x16 Snapshot of Fish

However, since we've only got 79 columns, putting any more info onto
that line effectively reduces the space I have to put in a
description.   Especially if subdirectories become 2+ levels deep.
It's also redundant information when there's an individual index file
for each file are.  (Symbols or abbreviations for subdirectory names
may be too obscure.)

Well, since everyone is posting their ideas on how to slice and dice the INDEX
file, I'll take a hack at it also.  Here it is, csh+awk which probably could be
done with perl a lot easier etc. but I'm not good enough on it yet...

Takes optionally one argument, which is a flag like '-50' to indicate how many
files to get into the listing.  It assumes INDEX from cica is in the current
directory (if it isn't, it'll get it there from cica).  Generates a file like
INDEX-20, which contains the last 20 indexed uploads to cica starting from
the latest.

The output is a bit ragged, since it doesn't retab the output (which could be
bit of a chore in a 1-hour hack), and it recognizes file names from the input
file simply by looking for a letter or number as the 1st character on the line.

  Given a choice (do we get to vote?), I would rather have the SIZE given.

  Not too long ago, I decided to D/L 'Sounder.zip' since I had had problems
with it in the past. I also decided it would be nice to get some test sounds.

  So, using the INDEX I had D/Led earlier and the handy-dandy script posted
awhile back (I call it 'getcica dir filelist'), I requested 'sounder.zip'
and 'sounds1.zip'. Next thing I know, an 800K file is being FTPed. I should
probably go to each dir and check sizes, but I thought this whole discussion
was about how to make life easier.

  Anyway, I think its great that you provide this service and these routines.

Just my 2 cents worth.

how about something simple ... (following the windows scheme of [generally] 
the first letter ...):

b/fish.zip	910430	bmp	 640x480x16 Snapshot of Fish
where the "b" is for the bmp directory, so that wingif would be:

b/u/wingif10.zip ... etc

rmich@Lise.Unit.NO (Rolf Michelsen) (05/03/91)

I hacked together a small AWK script to list out any new entries from the Cica
list. I did this without noticing Otto's post, but I post this one since it 
takes a slightly different aproach and doesen't require a Unix csh. The output
isn't to well formattet, but take this as a 15 min hack to be worked on if you
have the time :-)

You use it in this way:
    AWK -f newcica.awk date=910501 cica.lst
This will read the script (assumed to be stored as newcica.awk) and output
all programs with dates on or later than 1st of May. The list is assumed to
be in the file cica.lst.

This is the script:

# AWK script to display recent changes in the cica index file
# Usage: awk -f newcica.awk date=yymmdd index

{
    if ($0 ~ /^\*\*/)
        print $0
    else if ($2 >= date)
        print $0
}

Short enough???

At the risk of advertising my own program, in utils on cica is a program
in match103.zip which will compare two text files and display the differences
under Windows.  If you simply download to your PC the updated INDEX to a
directory different than the previous one, you can use it to visually see
what's changed on cica.

Of course, changes to the INDEX file format don't produce a very
informative result ...
