06.05 Can I save all unread articles non-interactively into a file?
Date: Sun, 2 Jun 1991 21:56:45 -0700 (See "Can I download news to my PC?"). From: Gerald Oskoboiny <gerald@amisk.cs.ualberta.ca> Date: Sun, 2 Jun 1991 21:56:45 -0700 Yes, use the nnbatch(1) program. First, define an init file to select and save the articles. For example: set flow-control false unset embedded-header-escape on entry talk.bizarre '=' "^" 'S' "~/collected/$N" '+' end sequence talk.bizarre Then use nnbatch with this init file: nnbatch -Iinit2 talk.bizarre 2>&1 > /dev/null The above setup saves the entire newsgroup, but you could easily change it to use auto-selection with a killfile. Maybe: on entry comp.* 'S' "+$G/$N" '+' end
