Hello: I am trying to write an export/ import utility for gnats. My strategy is fairly simple. For every defect to be exported, just copy <gnats-install-directory>/com/<category-name>/<defect-id> to the new target. The problem is with index file entries. The following is a typical entry in the index file: ^@Ã^@^A7^@^@^Gpending^@^@^Fniyazm^@^@^Kgnats-admin^@^@^Dopen^@^@^Cyes^@^@^Hc ritical^@^@^Dhigh^@^@ 1082445490^@^@^A0^@^@^A0^@^@^Fsw-bug^@^@^MMohamed Niyaz^@^@^@^@^@\a long synopsis for the sixth defect.....to find out what the numbers in the index file mean^@ My question is how can I create this index entry in the target? I could write a program to copy just that part of the file, but the problem is the number "1082445490". And, also I am sure that wont be the cleanest way. Could somebody please give me some suggestions? Thanks in advance, Niyaz. _______________________________________________ Help-gnats mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnats
