Recipe Assistance...

1996-10-02 23:14:16
Hi There,

I have been fiddling with recipes for the last few days, reading docs, and 
the archives, yet I am still plagued with a problem.

I would be very glad if you would be able to assist me.

I have a file that has the names of LISTSERV lists that I manage in it.

e.g
KIDCAFE-SCHOOL
KIDOK
(60 lists deleted)

I usually use a shell command to save me having to have huge shell scripts 
when I want to do something for *each* list.  (There are over 60 lists!)

I usually use something like:

for i in `cat $HOME/KIDSUBS/lists-nodak`
do
echo "GET $i (nolock" >> $HOME/.lists-nodak-getting
done

or something like that....

Now, when this comes to Procmail... I want to be able to read in the same 
file with each line being a new variable that I can do a command on. As I 
do in the above example.

The subject lines that I want to look at look like this:

File: "KIDCAFE-SCHOOL LIST"

Where KIDCAFE-SCHOOL could be any one of the variables/lines/listnames in 
the file I mentioned earlier.

I want these files to then be simply put into separate files of the same 
variable name.

so KIDCAFE-SCHOOL in the subject line goes to a file called KIDCAFE-SCHOOL.

I hope this is clear enough..I really do need to get this worked out asap.
It seems so easy..yuet I can't do it..oh well another learning curve 
experience.

Thanx in advance,
