View logged data (ViewFile).

View file permits users to view, edit, save and print APRS log
files.

The "Text files" combo box displays the currently selected text 
file and has a dropdown list that displays all *.txt and *.log
files in the application directory.

A file can be displayed by selecting a file from the dropdown
list or by pressing the "View file" button.  The "View file"
button also refreshes the listing of *.txt and *.log files
found in the application directory.

Files that contain control characters can be displayed with
control characters enclosed in brackets by pressing the "View
Ctrl" button.   <BEL> would be displayed when a control char 
with an ASCII value of 7 is encountered.

The file can also be viewed in standard hexadecimal display
format by pressing the "View Hex" button.

The displayed text can be saved to the same, or a differnt
file name by pressing the "Save" button.

The selected disk file can be deleted by pressing the "Delete"
button.

The "Browse" button is used to load files from any available
directory or file.



File viewing, editing, and Filtering.
Once a file is displayed in the "View File" window, the displayed
text can be edited or filtered. This does not affect the disk file
unless the displayed text is saved to disk.  Entire lines can be
deleted, or text within a line can be deleted.

The "Include or reject lines that contain" edit box is used in 
conjunction with the "Include" or "Reject" buttons and the 
"Apply Filter" button to delete lines of text from the display 
that contain the text.

If the word Test is entered and the include button is checked, 
pressing the "View filter" button will cause only lines that 
contain the word Test will be displayed. If the reject button is 
checked only lines that do not contain the word Test will
be displayed.  Note that this is a case insensitive filter.


The "Remove" menu selection permits the user to delete Timestamps,
APRS headers, and user specified strings from displayed lines of 
text.  

The "Remove", "Header / TimeStamp" menu selection will remove 
!00:00:00 ! from any line that starts with !.

"Remove", "APRS Header" will remove KC9XG>APRS,RELAY,WIDE 
from displayed lines such as: 
!00:00:00 !KC9XG>APRS,RELAY,WIDE:>Test. 
The line will then display !00:00:00 !:>Test

"Remove", "Text" permits the user to specifiy a case sensitive 
string to be removed from displayed lines.  The text 
,RELAY,WIDE can be removed from KC9XG>APRS,RELAY,WIDE:>Test.  
The remaining text lines would display KC9XG>APRS:>Test.



A text string can be found by pressing the "Find Text" button.

The "Sort button" will cause the displayed text to be displayed 
in ascending ASCII sort sequence.

The "Print" button will cause the displayed text to be printed.
Control characters will be converted to the <BEL> format.

The "Font" button permits the user to change the font of the 
displayed text.  The default font is the same font used in
the main display window.  "View File" will always use the main
display window font whenever it is called from the main window
menu.
