- Command Line: FL FILE.NAM <Start/start/END/end> <Line number> <P/p/S/s>
-
- *******************************************************************************
- FL.EXE is a utility which allows you to read any ASCII
- text file AT ANY POINT IN THE FILE WHICH YOU SPECIFY!!!
-
-
- The TEXT-file to be opened is appended to FL as follows:
-
- << FL file.txt >>
-
- where file.txt is the name of the TEXT-file to be opened.
-
-
- You may specify where you want the text-file to be opened.
- That is:-
-
- 1)Do you want it opened toward the START of the file?
-
- or
-
- 2)Do you want it opened toward the END of the file?
-
-
- The command-line should then look like:-
-
- 1) << FL file.txt start >>
- or
- << FL file.txt START >>
-
- OR
-
- 2) << FL file.txt END >>
- or
- << FL file.txt end >>
-
-
- You may further specify HOW FAR from the START or END (in terms
- of 80 character lines) you wish the file to be opened, i.e.,
-
- At HOW MANY LINES from the START (or END) do you wish to
- initiate your perusal of the specified file??
-
- As you may have guessed, the Command Line should then
- look like:-
-
- << FL file.txt end 30 >>
-
- in which case you would start reading the file 30 LINES from the
- END of the file.
-
- Finally, you may display the files in either PAGE
- or SCROLL mode. PAGE mode reveals the text to you one page
- at a time (in addition to showing you your current position
- in the file). SCROLL mode is a continuous display which you
- are already familiar with (from DOS "TYPE" commands).
-
- If you want to PAGE through a document, the format is:-
-
-
- <<FL FILE.NAM start 1 p (or P)>>
-
-
- Likewise, if you want to SCROLL the document:-
-
-
- <<FL FILE.NAM start 1 s (or S)>>
-
-
- If this is too confusing for you, just specify the
- name of the file you wish to be opened and you will be prompted
- for the rest.
-
- I hope this utility will prove useful to you. If any
- comments or problems should arise I can be reached at:
