I started by telling ChatGPT to read the msgs.ini, I copied the output that MysticBBS creates when you have it make a goldedarea.txt. With that information it created a java script to make me a text file that added group id's, and sort by those id's. After a couple of tweeks it now makes me a "Goldedareas.txt file that I tell GoldED to read with an "INCLUDE". I have one for my Windows and Linux systems. I also had ChatGPT make a Python script for Mystic to tweek the output that Mystic creates to work better with Golded also.
Now ChatGPT sometimes has to really work on what I want, but it does give me exactly what I want done.
