I block text files with a simple script that loops through each line of
the file and outputs it to a new file using awk and printf to do the
formatting. In this example carriage returns are removed by the "tr"
program and each line is blocked to 256 characters with no NL added.
cat $1 | tr -d "\15" | awk -F' ' '{ printf "%-256.256s", $1 }'
Hope this helps.

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.

Jean-Christophe:
We've done this type of thing in the past, but only with Display =3D
Manager, not Foxview. However, in Display Configurator you can setup a
text =3D field as "Read File". (The file must be a fixed length block
file .) Then configure the text field to execute program "=3D3D PICK1 @ =
;
dmcmd =3D 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 =3D
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- =3D
One word per
line) on foxview and allow operators to select a word in this text =3D
file.
When they select the text (by clicking on it for example) =
=3D
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
