• MUTIL and Stanza PostTextFiles

    I'm trying to make some things as simple on myself as possible and thought I would look at MUTIL to see if it could do something I need. I believe it
    can, IF it can handle the number of files I want to use.

    I've got a large database of messages from YahooGroups. If Mutil can do it,
    I was going to write some VBA code in in Excel where I have ported these messages too at the present. From there, I was going to parse each message
    as a separate file.

    Then, if it can handle it, I would write out to the INI file a filenumber.

    I am assuming the file would be something like the following:

    totalfiles = 80000 (yes, 80K of files/msgs to toss)
    file1_name = 00001.txt
    file1_baseidx = some number
    file1_from = authorname
    file1_to = ALL
    file1_sub = Subject
    file1_addr = my node address
    file1_delfile = false

    Can Mutil handle something like this with 80,000 messages? It's going to be
    a pretty large INI file and I do not know what the limits of MUTIL are.

    If there is a limit, I can parse it into smaller INI files of 100, 500, 1000, 10000, etc.

    Thanks for the feedback.
