Now for some strange looking but powerful ideas. You don't have to understand them all just give them a try. Some interesting things can be done by setting a few simple aliases. Some of these aliases take advantage of AWNPipes GUI building feature covered in a different section of these docs.
alias see echo >awnpipe:/xc "defg*nbitmap fn []*nimage*nopen"
Now 'see FILENAME' will display pictures using your datatypes.
alias readtext echo >awnpipe:/xc "defg a cs *ntextfield a minw 200 minh 200 gt 0 bd ro datain []*nopen"
Now 'readtext FILENAME' will display a textfile.
alias toolt type awnpipe:/xi[]
Now 'toolt FILENAME' will display the tooltypes of FILENAME. (do not include .info in FILENAME).
alias text2html copy awnpipe:t2h/f/h/r[]
Now 'text2html infile outfile' will create special html sequences for certain characters in a text file and save it in a new file.
alias html2text copy awnpipe:t2h/f/u/r[]
Now 'html2text infile outfile' will convert special HTML sequences in a html file and save it in a new file.
