Try the New askSam 5.1 Release Candidate 1



askSam 5.1 will be released later this month and has even more features to help you work smarter. With askSam 5.1 you can make searchable databases from any information you find, archive decades of email, and put all your valuable information at your fingertips.


The New askSam 5.1 Delivers:


Import Enhancements


Ÿ     Import the Contents of Email Attachments -- In askSam 5 we let you import email attachments along with the messages. But the imported attachments were not searchable. A new option in askSam 5.1 imports the contents of recognized attachments (Word, HTML, PDF, WordPerfect, RTF, and Text) to the end of your email messages.


Ÿ     Preprocess Imported Files with TextPipe Utility -- We've integrated a special version of the product "TextPipe Pro" with askSam. TextPipe is a data manipulation tool that lets you perform a set of operations on files that you import into askSam. With TextPipe you can massage data before it is imported into askSam. There will be an additional charge for TextPipe (it's not included with askSam). The price will be $39 for a run time version (that will run predefined filters) and $89 for a full version that allows you to run and create filters. For more information and a free trial see:

Ÿ     IMAP Email Import  -- We've updated the askSam Email Wizard to allow IMAP Email as a source for importing email into askSam.


Search Enhancements


Ÿ     Search for Documents with Attachments -- In the Search dialog, you'll find a new search option "Attachments". This allows you to search your database for documents with attachments (or documents without attachments).


Ÿ     Store Multiple File Search Requests -- We've enhanced the Search Multiple Files feature. You can now store the search request, and the search as well as the files you want to search. This is a very useful feature for those of you who work with multiple askSam databases.


Ÿ     Numeric Field Comparison -- We've added functionality to our Numeric Search. You can now search based on a comparison of two fields. For example, find documents where  FIELD1[ is >= FIELD2[.


Ÿ     Other Highly Requested Enhancements

- Delete Multiple Bookmarks from the Bookmark dialog.

- Support for the Euro Symbol in the currency symbol option in FILE PROPERTIES.

- Export Word list (Pro Version Only) export the words listed in the ACTIONS WORD LIST.The Words can be exported in Text or CSV formats.

- Right Click Editing for Hypertext Links we've added an "Edit Link" command when you right click on a hypertext link.

"askSam is an essential part of my software tool chest. I can research and collect data from anywhere and any source. Once it is in askSam I can edit, rearrange, organize, and search the information easily. Then I can present it and make it totally useful for other people via the web or CD. Fantastic!"
