Hello all!


Maybe the old man here's a little dense, but am trying to figure this out.

I have the following mask defined:

mask *, *, boatfinder, 1:116/901.0, *, *
Action runexternal h-search [repfile] [subject]
Action delete

h-search is a batch file.  AS I understand it, parameters in brackets are
passed to it as command line arguments.

Nmgr tells me it's running my external program, then the log tells me:


  29 Apr 17:02:05 NMGR FILEd msg#1 in C:\NETMGR\netmsg.msg
  29 Apr 17:02:05 NMGR Executing: "h-search C:\NETMGR\netmsg.rep hi3cyx"
  29 Apr 17:02:12 NMGR Illegal mask format in line 1!
  29 Apr 17:02:13 NMGR Killed msg#1.

Brings me to a couple of questions:

Illegal mask format in line 1 of what file?  Obviously nmgr runs just fine
as other actions process properly and running with the -debug parameter
shows me no problems, so it's not the config file.

AS already stated, h-search is a batch file which searches some log files
and others for the parameter in subject line of received message, say a
radio callsign.

WHat am I missing?



Thanks,


           Richard
