fScan Reference Manual, Chapter 2 (CmdLineOptions): browse

Browse -- Select items from a list

usage: -browse tablename flag outvarb showcol returncol title msg nx ny

The BROWSE command creates an interactive window and displays the contents of the TABLENAME data list. TABLENAME is a table list structure, usually created via the -Table or -Connect query commands. The user can select one or more (see FLAG) rows in the list. When the window is closed, the desired row(s) are stored in a new table, or in a string variable (see USERVARBS).

The FLAG argument can be used to specify browsing options (combine by adding):

  • 1 - return single value (OUTVARB is user varb name
  • 2 - return new table (OUTVARB is table name)
  • 4 - allow multiple entries to be selected
  • 8 - inverse: keep only entries NOT selected

If SHOWCOL is greater than 0 it indicates which column of TABLENAME to display in the browse list.
If RETURNCOL is greater than 0 it indicates which column of TABLENAME to store in OUTVARB.
