The [JavaScript] section should have an entry like: ã ãans = asc_handler.js ã ãWhen a '.ans' file is requested by a web client, the server passes the request ãto 'asc_handler.js', which formats and sends output to the client. You would ãneed to do something like this to cause the file to be loaded directly from the ãserver: ã ã<iframe src="/scores/lord.ans"></iframe> ã ãThe file would need to exist somewhere under the server's document root. There ãare other ways to accomplish serving this file (XMLHttpRequest, etc.) which I ãwon't get into right now. ã ãAlternatively, in an XJS file you could do this: ã ã<pre style="font-family: Courier New, monospace"> ã<?xjs ã var f = new File('/sbbs/text/scores/lord.ans'); ã f.open('r'); ã var text = f.readAll(8192); ã f.close(); ã write(html_encode(text.join('\r\n'), true, false, true, true)); ?> ã</pre> ã ãThe 'html_encode' part is the same thing that asc_handler.js is doing. This ãmethod has the benefit of allowing you to load the file from a place outside ofããyour document root. ã ãYou would want that <pre> block to be in something with a black background. ã ãLastly, I did write a client-side .bin -> PNG rendering thing for the avatar ãgallery on my website. It doesn't parse .ans at the moment, but that could be ãadded easily enough. We can explore that if you don't like the look of the ãHTML-encoded ANSI. ã ã--- ãechicken ãelectronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.com - 416-273-7230 ã ã---ã þ Synchronet þ electronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã

For example if the INI file contains:ããZORKI = filenameããthat won't work, butããzorki = filenameããwill work. That just something I have to make a note about?ããI figured that out by just printing the code passed to theãfunction.

You can put this in aãfile and run it via jsexec:ããxtrn_area.sec_list.forEach(ã function (e) {ã writeln(e.name + ', ' + e.code);ã e.prog_list.forEach(ã function (ee) {ã writeln('\t' + ee.name + ', ' + ee.code);ã }ã );ã }ã);ãã---ãechickenãelectronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.com - 416-273-7230ã þ Synchronet þ electronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã
