GetLOCS.EXE

What it does: GetLOCS.EXE operates on a list - in any (text) format - and extracts to file or screen ONLY those lines containing a FULL - 6 Chatacter - WWL.

Why? I find that DXMon's `dxspots.txt` or a download from my local DX Cluster can be a valuable source of CALL <> WWL data. Too often, however, there are abundant entries that do not contain relevant data - a full, 6 character WWL. This program processes the input list and creates a new file of the records required. Output can also be "paged" to the screen.
Screen output may be reverse piped into the (DOS) FIND command to quickly search for a particular item:

	FIND "G1OGY" < getlocs.exe c:\dxmonv92\dxspots.txt

	FIND "JO49MM" < getlocs.exe f:\data\cluster.txt
GetLOCS will also painlessly "clean up" your TACLOG.TXT file - the output will contain no records with just Field+Square!
(<20 seconds for a 2.5 Mb file)

This version - for Win32 systems only - may be downloaded (320Kb) from the link at the foot of this page.
Those of you with a working installation of PERL (on any operating system) may request a copy of the source using the 'M1CRO' TACLog FAQ Query Submission Form.

I trust that you find it useful.

Tip: GetLOCS.EXE MUST be run in a DOS box (W9x, WinNT). Run the program with no arguments for 'Usage/Help'.
