GroupSTAT: Advanced Newsgroup Statistics Program


I make the statistics at home.

First, you need a working installation of Perl. It's a language that is
good for handling strings of characters.

http://www.ricocheting.com/server/cgi.html
===========================================


Second, get a perl module called News::Scan
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/...an-0.53.tar.gz
and install it.
===========================================


Then you need a Perl script, called Groupstat
http://www.mgzi.net/comp/groupstat/d..._0.12.1.tar.gz
This says Linux, but because it's Perl, it will run on Windows also.
============================================

This is an executable script. Once you unpack it, there are instructions
to get it running in the directory it makes.

There will also be two programs unpacked.

'Getnews' downloads the articles in the selected newsgroup.
'Groupstat' scans the downloaded postings and prints out the information.

I copy that and post it here.

It's not too bad if you do this on a slow rainy day. Do some research on
automating the Perl Module installation. It will make things easier in
the future.



Check this out. It's the complete posting above in reverse. Start
reading at the bottom and backwards.

The Perl command to do that is one line:

perl -0777e 'print scalar reverse ' /home/owl/Desktop/inputfile
/home/owl/Desktop/outputfile

Damn Alien probes, anyway. Can't go anywhere these days without some
intergalactic pervert checking you out. I wish they'd stick to the
cuhulin mutilations.

Speaking of Cuhulin, he's been busy making friends in sci.energy
