Number of members
Saturday, December 7, 2002 Dear tbtech, Is it possible to write the number of members in a certain group in the address book with the help of reg.expr. or macros? If so - which? We would like to use this in the bottom of mails to our mailing lists. -- Kind regards, Britt Malka |\/| | \__/ | \/\/ | | \\ // \ / \/ ... Oh, I'm sorry.

Dear person
Saturday, December 7, 2002 Dear tbtech, Another question, now I am at it... I receive this french horoscope everyday. In the text, it is very often it says something like (translated), "so, dear Britt, you should really do just what you like today..." Is it possible with The Bat! to write to a list of members in a group in the address book and personalize it by using the listmembers name in the mail? -- Kind regards, Britt Malka |\/| | \__/ | \/\/ | | \\ // \ / \/ ...

Create Address book with group or just a new group for members to send the personalized message. 2.) Create a QT with option "Use for News messages..." enabled. 3.) Write the text you like to send and include the appropriate macro (%AB???Name, or something like that, can't remember). 4.) Goto Address Book, File, Mass Mailing using Template and the rest will be no problem for you, I'm sure ;-)) HTH -- Best regards, Gerd === Tutorial for using regular expressions with TheBat! www.regenechsen.de --- An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all. --- now playing: WDR2 :-) Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBTECH" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Number of members
Hello Britt, It was foretold that on Saturday, December 7, 2002 at 14:37 GMT +0100, Britt Malka [BM] would type: BM> Is it possible to write the number of members in a certain group in BM> the address book with the help of reg.expr. or macros? The only way I can think of doing this is using a recursive template to count the number of entries in the To, CC or BCC fields. However, this won't work if you use the Mass Mailing feature as Gerd suggested, plus it may give inaccurate results if some people are listed multiple times. Your best bet may be to use some sort of external counting program to generate a text file with the info so you can use %PUT in your template. I don't know how you handle Subscription/Unsubscription requests, so I can't suggest simple filters to automate the task at this time. If you can tell us a little more about how your specific list setup works (or how you plan for it to work), then more tailored solutions may be available. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal All science is either physics or stamp collecting. -- E.

If subscription and unsubscription is done by TB with a filter, you
can add the following, which does the maths for you and writes the
new number to a file.
Here is the macro I wrote (Thanks to Karin Uhlig who gave me the
hint!!):
%COMMENT='%setpattregexp="\d{1,}"%regexpmatch="%put=_C:\TEMP\test.dat_"'%-
%calc='%COMMENT + 1'%-
Note: C:\TEMP\test.dat is the path which has to be adjusted ;-)
Use this as the template for exporting a file (text) within a filter.
The filter reacts on subscriptions and adds the subscriber to the
appropriate address book.

Sorry, that was a bit too quickly sent: what I meant was: You already have a filter which reacts on subscriptions and adds the subscriber to the appropriate address book. In your reply QT you have to add %PUT with the result-file. -- Best regards, Gerd === Tutorial for using regular expressions with TheBat! www.regenechsen.de --- Plan for today as well as for tomorrow. --- now playing: WDR2 :-) Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBTECH" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
