dopus read [delete] [pos <x/y/w/h>] [<handle>] [hex|ansi|smart] <filename>
dopus read <handle> quit
The read command is provided to allow you greater control over the Opus
text viewer. It basically allows you to open a viewer and view multiple
files in it one by one before closing it again.
The pos keyword will allow you to open the viewer at a specific
position on the screen.
When you do not specify a handle a new viewer is opened and its viewer
handle is returned in RESULT . You use the viewer handle in much the same
way as you would a lister handle, you can either get it to load new files or
quit .
Normally the viewer will default to ASCII mode to view files, you can specify
another mode to use by using one of the keywords: hex , ansi
or smart .
If you give the delete keyword the file will be deleted once the viewer
has been closed. This is useful for displaying temporary files.
For example,
+ dopus read ram:file1.txt
> 121839492
+ "dopus read pos 10/10/400/200 ram:file2.txt"
> 121839492
+ dopus read 121839492 ram:file2.txt
> 121839492
+ dopus read hex C:Info
> 121839492
+ dopus read 121839492 quit
> 0
