1EXTRACT, Utilities, Extract records from VMS file.EXTRACT V1.6 - Extract records from VMS fileWritten by Pat Rankin*VAX binaries produced under VAX/VMS V5.5-20Alpha binaries produced under OpenVMS Alpha V6.2AEXTRACT is a VMS-specific utility for quickly selecting groups of@records out of files. It has options for choosing them from theFbeginning via /HEAD=n, the middle via /RECORD=(START=m,END=n,COUNT=k),@or the end via /TAIL=n. Selected records can optionally undergoAvarious transformations such as alphabetic case conversion, whiteBspace condensation or tab expansion, translation between ASCII andBEBCDIC, or selection of specific sets of columns. See extract.doc8for more details or extract.hlp for full command syntax.CEXTRACT can be defined as a native DCL command or used as a foreignBcommand. The source code is written in Fortran and should compileEas-is for either Alpha or VAX. File access is accomplished by directARMS calls rather than through the Fortran run-time library and isgenerally quite fast.
