Hey d*****ad, if you want to support the kids go out and get a job instead of panhandling here......

Oh, so that's how you do it... Go begging on usenet. Okay, I'd love a new bandsaw, Santa!

You still using GBASIC (or XBase)? Get with the new languages, man. For example, try some Java with a pure Object Oriented approach. Just look at how much easier to read and understand this "modern" code is....

public interface IMessageStrategy {

public void processMessage( Message msg ) throws MessagingException; }

public class ReadableMessageStategy implements IMessageStrategy {

private IMessageReader _reader;

public ReadableMessageStrategy( IMessageReader reader ) { _reader = reader; }

public void processMessage( Message msg ) throws MessagingException { _reader.read( msg ); } }

public class UndesirableMessageStrategy implements IMessageStrategy {

private ITrash _trash;

public UndesirableMessageStrategy ( ITrash trash ) { _trash = trash; }

public void processMessage( Message msg ) throws MessagingException { _trash.throwAway( msg ); } }

public class NewsGroupSystem {

protected static List UNDESIRABLE_TEXT; static { UNDESIRABLE_TEXT = new ArrayList(); UNDESIRABLE_TEXT.add( "WEBTV" ); }

private ITrash _trash = new OSTrash(); private IMessageReader _reader = new NewsGroupReader();

protected IMessageStategy getProcessingStrategy( Message msg ){ if ( msg.getID().containsAnyTextFrom( UNDESIRABLE_TEXT ) { return new UndesirableMessageStrategy( _trash ); } else { return new ReadableMessageStrategy( _reader ); } }

public void handleMessage( Message msg ) { try { getProcessingStrategy( msg ).processMessage( msg ); } catch ( MessagingException e ) { AlertUser( e.getMessage() ); } } }

/rick.

Looks like LBasic, actually ;)

You know, people ask me why I stopped being a code-monkey. Thanks for reminding me.

So how to I implement the 'JOAT exception' case? ;-)

In Applescript:

tell app "YourNewsreader" repeat with i from one to count of unread messages if field "NNTP-Posting-Host" contains "webtv.com" and field "From" does not contain "Jakofalltrades" then kill message 1 end repeat end tell

Actually, that was made up, but IIRC, it bears a strong resemblance to Ratfor.

I love it! I'm still chuckling :-).

Real men code in assembler. ;-) mahalo, jo4hn (aka Mr.Verdan)

[Dave Balderstone]

Oops. That should be

kill message i

[Dave Hinz]

I'd like to register a shift in the thread please.

[Morris Dovey]

Multi-threading is of questionable value here. It should be written in microcode and executed as a single op to ensure atomicity regardles of the language used. ;->

[jo4hn]

Shift to the left, shift to the right, pop up, push down, byte, byte BYTE!
