This drawer contains ARexx documentation and some scripts.

Demo.rexx

    This drives QuickFile to give a simple demo of some of the
    features of QuickFile. Start QuickFile, open the AddressBook file
    and then run this either from the shell or workbench.

DelRecs.QuickFile

    This is a QuickFile macro to delete all records in the current
    index - This will usually be a selection.
    Run this from the Options/ARexx menu item.

FindReplace.QuickFile

    This is a QuickFile macro to do a search and replace in a single field
    for all records of the current index. It will only replace the first
    occurrence of the string in each field.

    You are prompted line by line for the input required. You should not
    attempt to change a field used in the current index. You can do it but
    records may be missed. If you have only one index, sort the file on
    any other field and process the Sorted records.

    The search can match or ignore case

    You can replace a string with nothing.

    Run this from the Options/ARexx menu item.

SetField.QuickFile

    This is a QuickFile macro to set a field to a requested value in
    all records in the current index - which would usually be a selection.
    Run this from the Options/ARexx menu item in QuickFile.

Address.xdme

    This is a macro that will get address details from QuickFile and insert
    them into an XDME document. It should also work with later versions of
    DME. It assumes that QuickFile is running. If a file called
    Addressbook is not open, it tries to open one from the distribution
    diskette.

    Run this from dme with the command 'rx1 address aaaa' where aaaa is
    the name you want the address for.

    It should be easy to modify this for any text editor or word processor

    DME is an excellent text editor written by Matthew Dillon and XDME
    is an enhanced version based on it.

There is also an example of a startup macro in the Examples/sales drawer.
All this does is load a second view when you open the file. It does save a
couple of mouse clicks and/or keystrokes.
