Hello Everyone,

I have been trying for last 2hrs too take the menuitem so that it inputs a file into the editor for reading.

Code:
<menu label="_Timelines" use-underline="true">
   <menuitem stock-id="gtk-open" label="1">
      <action>cat > '$WORKDIR'/001 > '$WORKDIR'/reading</action>
      <action>refresh:EDITOR</action>
      </menuitem>
   
   </menu>


If I need to show all the code let me know and I will post that as well.

Thanks for any help

Cheers

Hey Oldyeller

The first > is unnecessary, should be cat '$WORKDIR'/1 > ...

Just in case - a stand alone example. Wink
Code:
#! /bin/bash

WORKDIR=/tmp
echo "blablabla" > $WORKDIR/reading
echo "completely different blablabla" > $WORKDIR/1

export MAIN='
<window>
  <vbox>
    <menubar>
      <menu label="_Timelines" use-underline="true">
        <menuitem stock-id="gtk-open" label="1">
          <action>cat '$WORKDIR'/1 > '$WORKDIR'/reading</action>
          <action>refresh:EDITOR</action>
        </menuitem>
      </menu>
    </menubar>
    <edit>
      <variable>EDITOR</variable>
      <input file>'$WORKDIR'/reading</input>
    </edit>
  </vbox>
</window>
'

gtkdialog -p MAIN

Greetings!

Hi SFR,

Will give it a try with the rest of my code.

Will this allow me to use a input file with the information that I want displayed or will I need to type it in for the echo as you did for the example.


Cheers

Yes, I just used 'echo' to make sure that input files for <edit> do exist and are not empty.
It will work with any textual files.

Greetings!
