I have had a look at the code, and applied the following patch:

I'd like to help you test this fix but I do not understand how to use binary executable diffs. I'm currently using MakeNL 3.4.6 (Linux). Could you please drop a copy of your patched Linux executable to me? Pretty please?

Region 28 region28.* 2:28/0

[ ...much text deleted... ]

It would suit me better if files were sorted by creation date like in
"ls -t ". If such a construct would work for all the versions that exits is questionable.

Trust me on this... the wildcarding does not matter when there is only a single
segment available. :)

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Paul.

Andrew Leary, who maintains the code, has include the patch in v3.4.8
It is however a bit tricky to use it.

In hindsight, I think, he probably should not have done it.

Trust me on this... the wildcarding does not matter when there is only
a
single segment available. :)

Are you using windows or a unix like OS.?

The most secure option is to start with an empty master directory, well the
cporight, prolog and epilog files can stay.

Then supply the most recent segments to the inbound directory.
Then run makenl with the current day as publishing day. With the patch
you can use TODAY as publishing day. That save you the task of changing
the publishing day or using seven control files.

Anyway if you run into troubles, let me know, I have tried many variations,
but solutions vary on what list you are producing.

Hello Paul!

Just as an addition to my previous message.

A very basic way of creating dailies, is running makenl on a daily basis,
without changing the Publishing day.

The are the some values you fave to edit in the first line of the
produced Nodelist. The date and the daynumber. Changing this line has no
influence on the CRC. Ofcourse the daynumber suffix has to be changed as well.

With some tinkering this can all be done with a batch file.

I use this command sometimes to create a first line sometimes when updating segments for the AmigaNet nodelist:

date +';A Region Nodelist for %A, %B %-d, %Y -- Day number %j : 00000'

Might get you started...

Bye, Wilfred.

You solved one of my issues. I did not think of the %-d.
%d generates a leading 0 for numbers below 10. So I used %e the adds a leading
space vor numbers below 10, I then replaced the double space by a single
space in a later string handling.

Thanks.

I generate " for %A, %B %-d, %Y -- Day number %j : "

and then i used sed to replace ' for .* : ' with the above gnerated date
string. This edits only the date dependent parts, The CRC is untouched.

As for the CRC, it can be used to see if the file has not been altered.
As far as I have found makenl only checks the CRC when a diff file is applied.

Careful now. Your satirical genius is showing. :-P

Yes, I have been successful thus far with a region of small networks. I have been doing all of that which you say since early July, thanks to your kind notes and my observations of Ward's comments. It is an untidy method.

In the case of an inclusive new version I'll switch ASAP. Thank you, kindly

Cheers,
Paul.

An "untidy method" still rings in my ears. :) A fascinating notion, thanks, but no thanks.
