parse ECS events from your .CFG files Scott Reston Wed, 05 Jan 2000 14:22:32 -0500

i wrote a quick little script in perl to pull events and their associated items out
of the example.cfg to facilitate adding new events to my config for ECS. 
thought i'd pass it along to anyone interested. let me know if you have any problems
with it... i've only tested it on my own config.

you'll need perl for windows. if you don't have it, you can grab it at http://www.activestate.com.



mark: i made some assumptions about the layout of ECS.CFG - does this sound right:

event lines will always start with 
|Event:(followed by a tab)(Name of event)

item lines will always start with
|Item:(NO TAB)(Name of item)

if there are enough of you out there using perl, it'd be a simple thing for me to add
standard file-open dialog box to choose the CFG file for anyone that has 
installed the win32::gui package (installing packages is *really* easy)

if you find the script useful, let me know...
