Exporting lists of host names

Suppose you have collected a long list of host names of the web servers supplying the web ads to other web sites, and you want to send that list to a friend of yours, to make him or her able to block the web ads, too. Instead of typing in all the host names into an email message, you could use the Export Host Name List command of HostName Commander to prepare such a list for you. To use this command, first select the IP address which host names you want to export, and click on the little arrow next to the Annd Host Name button:

Choose the Export Host Name List command from this menu to display the following dialog box:

Here you can select the IP address from which you want to export the list of the host names; the host name list itself is displayed in the Host name list area.

You can also choose among the following options which affect the contents of the exported list:

• Include header with the IP Address information

  If you select this option, the first line of the list will contain information about the IP address from which the list is being exported. This option is useful if the recepient of the list is going to eventually import the list into another copy of HostName Commander: the header would provide the information where the list should be imported.

• Include comments

  If you select this option, then the comments for the hostnames would be exported along with the host names themselves. Select this option if you want the recipient to be able to see your comments and import them along with the host names into his or her copy of HostName Commander.

To save the list into a file, click on the Save to file button and then enter the file name for the file in which to save the list. Or, simply select the text displayed in the Host name list box, and press Ctrl+C to copy it onto the Windows Clipboard. Then switch to your email program, and paste the list directly into the email message to send to the friend.
