Subj : FILE_ID extraction from archives

Hello mark,

I'm trying to build a BTM file that will extract *ONLY* the FILE_ID.DIZ
file from a "set" of archives (*.ARJ *.LZH *.RAR *.ZIP *.ZOO) and rename
FILE_ID.DIZ to archivename.diz and I'm trying to determine the best way to
process the archive sets...

I have a "working" DIZZ.BTM that will extract the FILE_ID.DIZ file from a
ZIP archive and do the rename process and I suppose I could create multiple
BTMs for each archive set but I can't see why it can't ALL be done within
one BTM...

Using a

    for %%arch in (*.ARJ *.LZH *.RAR *.ZIP *.ZOO) do %=
    dir/a-d/b/e/h/k/o:e %arch>dir_lst.tmp

will process each archive set one at a time.  Ideally, every archive set
should all be listed in DIR_LST.TMP and the BTM can extract the specific
diz file based on the archive set extension.

I would appreciate any assistance you may provide...

           Thanks ... Gerald
