336.0. "Printing DEJAVU directory" by ORION::HERBERT (Thinking is the best way to travel.) Wed Mar 18 1987 16:23

    Do any of you know if it is possible to print out a hardcopy of
    the directory of DEJAVU notes?  I've checked the PRINT and EXTRACT
    commands...found nothing there.  It sure would be useful to have
    (if it's possible).

    Thanks,

    The easy way is to type at the NOTES> prompt:
    
    	DIR/OUTPUT=dejavudir.tmp *
    
    Which will put the directory into a file.  Do not default the note
    range or you will get only some of the notes (enough to "fill" your
    terminal screen).
    
    This can be followed by:
    
    	SPAWN print/delete dejavudir.tmp
    
    You will have to type a RETURN when it is done.
    
    The obvious variations on both of these commands can be done, of
    course.
    
    Also useful is the /BUFFER=buffername option on DIRECTORY.  This
    will put the directory into an EVE buffer, which you can then apply
    EVE to.

336.2EXTRACTing a fileMRMFG3::TRAININGTake it all in STRIDe!Thu Mar 19 1987 11:4418
    reply to 366.0
    
    Hi,
    
    Another way you can print a NOTES file is to EXTRACT it.
    What you do is:
    First (while you are still in NOTES) you ues the EXTRACT command.
    It will ask you what note you want extracted. You type back the
    number of the NOTE. (this case would be 336.2)
    Then the system will ask you what you want to call the extracted
    file. This is your choice.
    
    This takes the note file and copies it onto a DCL file in the account
    that you entered NOTES through.
    
    After you have done everything I have told you to do, all you have
    to do is make the printer print out the DCL file.
                                                           Ray H.

    Re .2:
    
    I believe the base nore was inquiring how to get a copy of the
    directory, not the content of a note.
    
    For the latter, the easiest way is to use the PRINT command.

336.4CORRECTION to Reply .2MRMFG3::TRAININGTake it all in STRIDe!Thu Mar 19 1987 11:519
    Hi again,
    
    Seems I got the proceedure a little backwards.
    First the system asks what name do you want to call the EXTRACTed
    NOTES file, and then the system asks what NOTE do you want to
    EXTRACT.
                                     Sorry about that,
                                   I had it almost right,
                                       Ray H.
336.5Ctrl/print screenAKOV05::GALVINALPHA.......works for meMon Mar 23 1987 13:1113
    Jerri,
    
    The way that I print out my directory is to do:
    
    Notes> DIR 1-last     then before I hit <ret> do Ctrl/print screen
    
    The only problem with that is that you have to keep hitting return
    every time it tells you, but it doesn't show up on the list.
    
    Hope I was of some help.
    
    Hugs,
    fran

336.7Still need helpEUREKA::HARQUAILFri Apr 03 1987 09:577
    Help, none of the these instructions has helped me print the
    directory. I keep getting error opening my directory and file??
    What am I doing wrong? I don't have the option of printing my
    screen.
    
    Thanks
    Marilyn
336.8How about this?ERASER::KALLISHallowe&#039;en should be legal holidayFri Apr 03 1987 10:174
    Sign in through a DECmate and do a HD in the communications menu.
    Then do a "dir."

    RE: .7
    
    Marilyn:
    
    The command line in .6 works file for me.
    
    It is not a DCL command - you must be in notes with this file open
    when you issue it.

336.10It worked!EUREKA::HARQUAILFri Apr 03 1987 13:369
    Thanks all very much
    	Bill, Topher, & Steve. 
    What finally worked was, simply dir/output dejavu.txt.
    I think it was the *.* that was giving me errors the 1st time I
    tried thanks again all.
    
    Have a Wonder Filled weekend
