retrieving articles by article-id
Here's a handy-dandy shell file to read news items by article-id:
SPOOL=/usr/spool/netnews
t=/tmp/fn$$
trap "rm -f $t; exit" 0 1 2 3
for i in $*
do
echo "/^$i /s+^$i .* \([^ ]*\)[ ].*+$SPOOL/\1+p" >>$t
done
x=`sed -n -f $t /usr/lib/netnews/history`
if [ -z "$x" ]
then
exit
fi
${PAGER=more} $x
