Re: [foxboro] PICK a text

You don't need to have the same length in the plain text file.  By
converting the file over to a fixed length block file you are forcing all
the record lengths to the same size.  I use a C program to convert any text
files, but there may be an available Foxboro utility to do the job.

Objet : Re: [foxboro] PICK a text



Jean-Christophe:

We've done this type of thing in the past, but only with Display =
Manager,
not Foxview.  However, in Display Configurator you can setup a text =
field
as "Read File".  (The file must be a fixed length block file .)  Then
configure the text field to execute program "=3D PICK1 @ ; dmcmd =
getstr".
Then we'd have a text field to display PICK1 to allow the operator to
confirm they had chosen the desired item.

You'll probably have to then link a button to a script to store the =
string
in the C:B.P.

Hope this helps!

Hi list,

Who can help me :
             I want to read a text file (/usr/prog/tools/myfile.txt- =
One
word per
line) on foxview and allow operators to select a word in this text =
file.
             When they select the text (by clicking on it for example) =
it
put the
string in a C:B:SN000x .
Do you know how to do that.
I will need to change a lot of time the text file, and i don't want to
change the display each time.

tanks a lot
