668.0. "Print only doc's with attachments?" by KAOT01::J_PLUGERS (Too poor to pay attention) Mon May 11 1992 22:51

I have been trying for the last 2 hours, (unsuccesfully) to write a 
script that will scan all of a users documents in his file cabinet.

I have a user that needs to print all of his documents that have 
attachments.  There are about 1000 documents and about 150 of them
have attachments, anywhere from 1 attachment to 116 attachments...

I would like it to generate a list of all documents that contain
attachments, or preferably to print the entire contents of all the
documents that contain attachments.

An unusual request, perhaps, but I am not an ALL-IN-1 application
programmer, and am looking for advice from the experts.

Thanks in advance,

John Plugers

668.1	This will create the list.	HOTAIR::MADDOX	When in doubt, change it	`Mon May 11 1992 23:40`	23
	John, The following command will create a list of all documents which have an attachment: form auto select for cab$ with .att_doc nes "" do sel_style - .folder:32 .title/style=display You can put the command above in a script and then run the script or you could build a UDP with a ".fu " preceding the command. The following form will put the list in a file instead of displaying it on the terminal: form auto select for cab$ with .att_doc nes "" do sel_style - .folder:32 .title/style=file /list="DOCUMENTS.LIS" You could build a script to print these documents, but I don't have time to compose one now. Hope this helps, Joe
668.2	I just can't get output to a file!	KAOT01::J_PLUGERS	Too poor to pay attention	`Tue May 12 1992 05:09`	20
	Thanks for the helpful reply... The display to the screen works just great, but the example in .1 to list to a file does not work for me. This is the script that I call FORM AUTO SELECT FOR CAB$ WITH .ATT_DOC NES "" DO SEL_STYLE - .FOLDER:32 .TITLE/STYLE=FILE/LIST="OAUSER:DOC.LIS" I get no errors. I just don't seem to get any output file. I ran it with trace and saw it found all the docs with attachments but no sign of an output file DOC.LIS I found the script OA$DO:TMMONTH.SCP and the code is quite similar to the example in .1 Am I doing something wrong? Regards, John.
668.3	Try a close_prior and a dump_cache?	SANFAN::LESLIE_DA	Greetings & Solutions	`Tue May 12 1992 05:18`	0
668.4	DUMP_CACHE did the trick.	KAOT01::J_PLUGERS	Too poor to pay attention	`Tue May 12 1992 14:31`	5
	I added the DUMP_CACHE and it works like a charm. Thanks. John.
