Title: Help file extractor
Post by: Jerry Muelver on December 19, 2006, 12:28:22 PM
Does anyone have the source for Fletchie's Help file extractor, the one that picks tagged comments out of source code and builds a reference Help file from the snippets?

I have a whole lot of stuff from the Pyxia days. Can you sort of remember the title Jerry?

Sorry Jerry, I don't seem to have that one. Searched all .iba files using Retriever (remember that one) for "Fletchie" I have lots of his stuff but no Help Extractor. Also searched Joske's archive downloaded off Coding Monkeys to no avail. I do remember it though so will keep looking.

Regards
Dennis

The only retriever I have on disk is the one by Bizzy.  Which searches through files for matched text.  Like our 'find in files' does now.

I don't think he released that source. As I recall he said it was going to be released as soon as he had finished up some things but he vanished before he was able to finish it :(

Yip, that's the one Paul, and I still use it - works well! We're looking for one of Fletchie's utilities that extracted keywords for a help file. I used Retriever to scan all the .iba source files on my disks for the words Fletchie, Extractor, and Help. Lots of hits but cannot find the Help Extractor source. Have to go with what Parker says.
