  • How to handle unarchived nodelists

    From Codefenix@1:103/705 to All on Thu May 19 09:43:49 2022
    I use the nodelist_handler.js in my tickit.ini for nodelists received within archives and it works great.

    However, suppose I am now receiving a nodelist that is *not* within an archive, and is just the plain, uncompressed nodelist itself. It seems the handler script isn't designed for that unless I'm overlooking something really obvious (which is likely).

    Do I need to write my own handler script to simply copy and replace the old nodelist file with the incoming one?

    Just leave out the match portion of the HanderArg

    Ah, ok. Thank you. I didn't realize the match setting could be omitted. I'll try that and see how it goes.
