(0) The ppl to Thank
Bill Parker Of Amitrix (AWeb) for Telling me About, Making,
BugFixing and helping me use his AWNPipe: handler .
Why not see for yourself and
Download the latest version
(1) What is AWebLastPages (ALP)
AWebLastPages is a utility to view the last
visited website(s) after quitting AWeb-II
It was originaly an ARexx script that used the
Amigas command c:requestchoice (not very configurable).
Since then Bill Parker told me about his AWNP Device and i just
couldn't resist Further Developing AwebLastPages . (Just a bit:)
it is now a Nice Compact ClassAct GUI that features all of this:
Onboard Help:
help Text is Displayed in AWebs Status Display as you move
around with the mouse
Search Distance:
Set How many Pages to display (0=all pages)
This Number can be saved to the Settings file for Future.
Preset Search Patterns:
Settable/Saveable Presets or "MIME/HTML" or "NOT MIME/IMAGES"
Window Settings:
Snapshot the window sizes and choose centerscreen, topleft ect.
Open Pages in Current or New window:
Like is says . open a new AWeb window or load URL into Current
Delete Pages:
delete pages matching selected pattern:
if you have http://www.btinternet.com/ selected the all cache
files matching http://www.btinternet.com/ will be deleted,
this is an exact pattern match so for example the file
http://www.btinternet.com/~bsteers/ will not be deleted.
MultiSelect for delete:
you can Shift n Select multiple items in the ListBrowser window
and delete them all , (if you select LOAD then only the Last
selected URL will be opened)
Plus More.
Note:
It does not give an exact match of the CacheBrowser List (when sorted by date)
But after testing i have found that the CachBrowser Does Not update if you
Re-Visit a page in the Cache (hehe .so my prog is more correct) :)
(2) how to Install:
Simple really :)
Run The Install Script and it will ask to add commands to either an
ARexx Menu Item or a Button Gadget Called "LastPages" or "ALP"
Manual Installation
after spending the time writing an
install script i'll not bother explaining this
;-)
(3) how to use:
When run you get a requester giving you some choices for a Search pattern.
This is to speed up the search.
WARNING: A Large Cache may appear to freeze ALP when using MIME or ALL.
maybe it has ! , probably it's just taking a VERY VERY long time
to read through :-\.
It's best to know what the pattern should be. in most cases it
should be #?.html or #?/index.html
but looking for URL's that do not specify a file "e;#?/"e;
eg "http://www.btinternet.com/~bsteers/" work a lot faster
because there are less of them.
ALSO. You can set the Search Distance on the main window, Search Distance is
the maximum number of files you are finally presented with. This Figure
can be Saved in the Preferences.
SO..
Select the pattern and the search begins .
when a file is found another requester pops up and tells you how many matches were found all together
and gives a list of the files in Cache in reverse order (Last First).
scroll down the list and select a URL and press load or just double click the
desired URL to either load it into AWeb or Delete ALL Selected files.
When Loading you are given a choice to load the file into a New Window or
the Currently Open one.
I have many more Usefull programs on my website .
if I need a program I can't find , I try to make it :)
you can Use the Menu Items in the first Window to go Directly
to my website or to load up YAM to EMail Me for Support
