Re: searchable list archive
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1997
It keeps the original formatting.

Sure would beat plain digests >and the like !I cheated. But then, that's how most solutions get done the quickest.I wrote an AppleScript that talks to Eudora and asks it for the contents of every message in my WebDNA-Talk mailbox. That same AppleScript talks to FileMaker and adds a record to a database (the only reason I use FileMaker is because I couldn't quickly find the AppleScript code to convert carriage-returns to soft-returns, and FileMaker does that automatically). Then I exported (Merge format) from FileMaker to a text file that WebCatalog uses.So this archive is not 'live' -- I have to run this AppleScript whenever I want to freshen the database. The first export took about 20 minutes (on battery power as I drove home) to grab all 1000 records from Eudora and stick them into FileMaker.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
