This is a new page, for REXX programming and some of the REXX programs I have written.
| OS2 REXX Programs | |
| DLIST.CMD | This is a simple REXX program that lists all the local drive letters, and displays Free space, Used space, Total space, Volume label and percent full. It uses colors that you can change for your own enjoyment. This program can also be run across the network, by using the NET ADMIN command. I.E. net admin \\server /c dlist |
| GETINFO.CMD | GETINFO can display lots of info about an OS/2 domain for you.
Run GETINFO without parameters, for a LONG list of options. You might
want to sent it to a file or printer. I didn't have an easy way of
displaying the help screen. I use MODE CO80,100 for my OS/2 windows and
this is perfect for this utility. This also requires: LSRXUT.DLL, the LAN Server REXX Utility DLL, and RXUTILS.DLL, the REXX Utilities DLL file. |
| RD!.EXE | Nice OS/2 program that will delete all files and directories. Use with caution. There is no prompting and all directories and files will be gone. |
| Windows REXX Programs | |
| More information on
Regina REXX is available at Source Forge. Patrick TJ McPhee has some Windows REXX utilities, including REXXUTIL which is similar to OS/2's REXXUTIL. | |
| DLIST.REX | This is a simple REXX program that lists all the local drive letters, and displays Free space, Used space, Total space, Volume label and percent full. It uses colors that you can change for your own enjoyment. |
| PAD.REX | This is a simple REXX program that will add leading zeros to all files in a directory, so the numbering of files is displayed properly. For example, instead of files 1.jpg, 10.jpg, 101.jpg, 12.jpg, by running PAD 3 (3 means a total of 3 digits for padding), they would be 001.jpg, 010.jpg, 101.jpg and 012.jpg. If the filename has more than the selected padding number, it is ignored and left as is. |
| PREFIX.REX | This is a simple REXX program that will add a prefix to all files in a directory. For example, instead of files 001.jpg, 002.jpg, 003.jpg, 004.jpg, by running PREFIX TEST, they would be TEST001.jpg, TEST002.jpg, TEST003.jpg and TEST004.jpg. |
| RENUM.REX | This is a simple REXX program that will renumber all files in a directory. |
| STRIP.REX | This is a simple REXX program that will strip off part of the filename on all files in a directory. For example, with files TEST001.jpg, TEST002.jpg, TEST003.jpg and TEST004.jpg, and by running STRIP 4 the files will then be changed to 001.jpg, 002.jpg, 003.jpg, 004.jpg. Also, by adding a prefix as the second option, that will replace the stripped segment that is removed. For example, with files TEST001.jpg, TEST002.jpg, TEST003.jpg and TEST004.jpg, and by running STRIP 4 LOOK, the files will be changed to LOOK001.jpg, LOOK002.jpg, LOOK003.jpg and LOOK004.jpg. |
A recent article was posted at DevSource titled Whatever Happened to Rexx? by Howard Fosdick. Good story about REXX and some great links to information and resources for REXX. Enjoy.
A nice How To Do It in OS/2 REXX article is also available.
