ALright, I have the ED archive. It has 9407 files. Each file has no extension, so opening each in a text editor is the only way to view them. They are numbered 0-9407. The first line of each file contains the title of the article. I need something to go through the folder , open each file in a text editor, read the first line, and save the file as a .txt document with the first name as a file name. Please don't leave ED hanging.
Do you happen to know how old the dump is? Also, commands go in any [i[GNU+Linux[/i] terminal.
