<p>
Easy using the script below, provided the file archives (*.zip, *.rar, *.arc,
*.lha, etc.) all contain "file_id.diz" files.
<p>
Sort the files in tempory directries that correspond to the filebase area, ie.
/dos4 (DOS files - filebase area no 4)
<p>
Then copy the script below to the directory, edit the number of the filebase
that the files must be batch uploaded to, to the number that corresponds to
the required filebase. (On my BBS system the DOS file section corresponds to
the number 4, hence the name above for the tempory directory used above) I
copy all files to be batch uploaded to the DOS file section, to the /dos4
directory, copy the script below to the /dos4 directory, edit the script so
that it uploads to the DOS filebase (4) and run it.
<pre>
for file in `ls` ; do
mbfile adopt 4 $file "Dummy description"
done
</pre>
NOTE: the 4 in the script above, indicates the filebase/filearea that the
files will be batch uploaded to.
For archives that have/contain a file_id.diz file, "Dummy description" will be
replaced with the content of the "file_id.diz file of that archive, if no
file_id.diz exists in the archive, then "Dummy descrition" will appear in the
description field of the files.bbs file for the file area it gets uploaded to.
<p>
If the files don't have/contain file_id.diz files, then create and insert in
the archive, a file_id.diz file having a suitable description of the content
of the archive, then follow the instructions above.
<p>
For *.exe and *.com files, as well as other files that are not archived ie. in
*.zip/*.rar/*.arc/*.lha/*.lhz/*.zoo etc. Create a file_id.diz file for the
file, then make an archive using the archiver of your choice containing the
file and the file_id.diz you created for it, then follow the instructions
above.
