How to run this process
If everything works as expected, you should get the following output:
And finally, if everything went as expected, you should have two new files in the folder:
Good luck!
By the way this is bread-and-butter work for an experienced Unix/Linux system administrator. I pretty much live and breathe this stuff, so overall this was a simple project.
- Using Windows Explorer, open the parent folder of the folder where you put the four files. If you followed my suggestion in post #19, that will be your Documents folder.
- Right-click on the folder where you saved the four files and select Command Prompt Here (that’s a new menu item installed by gow)
- In the command window, type get_ae911.bat
If everything works as expected, you should get the following output:
Code:
Processing AE list and writing to ae911_ae.txt
Processing OTHER-VIP list and writing to ae911_public.txt
Processing OTHER-A list and writing to ae911_public.txt

. One of the things I've discovered over the years is operating systems derived from Unix are much more capable of handling large datasets and file lists than Windows is. Part of it is the Unix idea of a "stream", where lines of text are acted upon and as soon as possible sent to the next command in a pipeline. So if your pipeline has three different programs in it (like this one: wget | sed | awk), the third program is handling the first line of output at the same time the second program is handling the second line of output, while the first program is generating the third line of output. I rather suspect PowerShell might approach this, but I don't know PowerShell at all, which is why I used the Unix utilities.
