Phoenix - Turn Sorting Tool [September 2022] For the Phoenix PBM game, a tool to sort your plain text email results into folders for each position. Built for .Net 4.6.1 on Windows 10, 32 bit. DETAILS: Assumes the files are stored in the same folder as the application, and the filenames start with "Phoenix" and end with ".txt" Assumes there is only one set of rounded brackets () in the filename, to contain the Position ID. Moves the files into the first subfolder it finds that has the same Position ID in rounded brackets. Recursive subfolders are allowed so you can group your positions into Squadron folders etc and this will look for embedded folders to find the position's ID. If no matching folders can be found, it creates a new folder using the filename of the turn result - including the Turn/Day ID in square brackets. |
