Not that anyone was asking for such a feature and I know the Fidonet version of this already exists. But I figured why not use the same script to implement the feature for other networks as well.

I have setup a means to easily search node lists for these FTN Networks: Fidonet, Gatornet, Agoranet, Retronet, SFNet, and DoRENET.

Can you contact me please avon@bbs.geek.nz I'd like to chat with you further about this :)

This didn't work for me when searching by (Fidonet) Sysop Name but it
did find my Fidonet nodelist entry of 1:102/401.

Hello, From what I see it looks like there is an issue with the format of your node entry. Probably should talk to whoever you got your node number from. Compare mine to yours.. Mine searches fine and yours does not. I'm sure you can see the differences between the two.

But also I am no nodelist expert. Though the one that made that script also makes a version of binkd, So I'd think he would know how nodelists are formatted. :)

I'm the RC for Lee's region, most of the nodelist entries are legacy entries I inherited.

Besides the order of the flags, I don't see any significant differences; I'm still on my first cup of coffee, though. Care to elaborate?

The order of anything on the node listing would affect the ability for the script to read and accurately insert the information in the right fields in the MySQL database when it imports the nodelist.

Thanks

Is an odd one. IrCOll take a look at the script and see if I can make heads or tales of it. If you search for last name green you will come up. But anytime I put your first name it doesnrCOt work. Maybe a glitch in the search function. Who knows.

My bbs url seems to be in a different position than yours and my bbs
name is where your url is but might be different as it looks like I'm a
Host. This is the entry I've had for almost 10 years, everything else
seems to work.

Thanks for jumping in Kurt I will leave it in your hands to figure it
out as you know how it works much better than I do. Let me know what you
want to do if anything.

what do you think is an issue? everything up to the speed field is fixed order... all the flags after can be in any order... are you perhaps making some
assumptions to the format that are not valid?

the FQDN of a fidonet system may be found in the BBS name field, on the INA flag, or any of the other Ixx flags...

host systems start with "Host" in the first field and the second field is the net number...

I make no assumptions.. Only noted the slight differences in a node line that searches fine.. But not I am currently thinking it may be an issue with searching short first names... Since searching only by last name will make his node show up in the results. I didn't make the script so I'm not sure how many assumptions that have been made from the original creator. All I know for sure searching for myself on any of the networks does search properly.
With Lee being such a short name it could be an unforeseen glitch in the script. Will take a look at it and see if I can notice any obvious issue.

Thanks
