NULL mag Issue 07 29 ANSI gallery database

With the following program written in Python3, we can create a SQLite3
database, that will contain all info about all ANSI files that we may
have in a specific directory.

The intention is to have a directory structure like:

+ Gallery
|
+ 1990
| |
| + packname
| |
| + files...
| + ...
...
+ 2019
|
+ packname
|
+ files...

each subdirectory will have the name of the package and inside, will be
all the ANSI files. You can remove files that are not viewable in a BBS,
like XBIN, JPG, tracks etc and keep only .ANS, .DIZ, .NFO and perhaps
some package specific.

The program will search all those files and extract data, that will put
inside an SQLite3 database file, of your choice.

To execute the program type: script.py database.sq

If you want more info, just ask in FSX or Zero networks or send me an
email at: xqtr@gmx.com
