There are several ways of using 'List Of Files' files in EscapeE 'eE' iconEscapeE.

Example 1

Enter file paths in a plain text editor and save the file as type ".LOF". EscapeE can open this file and create a composite document, e.g.:

c:\Resources\Images\broccoli.BMP

c:\Veg\Summaries\broccoli.TXT

c:\Resources\Images\cauliflower.BMP

c:\Veg\Summaries\cauliflower.TXT

Example 2

The EscapeE Remember file feature could be used to assemble the same files into an LOF composite document, see Creating an LOF control file automatically. The LOF file created would be shown in the text editor window:

:\ESCAPEE

c:\Resources\Images\broccoli.BMP

c:\Veg\Summaries\broccoli.TXT

c:\Resources\Images\cauliflower.BMP

c:\Veg\Summaries\cauliflower.TXT

Example 3

This LOF file was created by the IDF Composite document wizard to extract music parts from a score:

:\DOCUMENT MUSICPARTS

:\PORTRAIT

:\UNITS INCHES

:\LEFT 0 \TOP 0

:\REPEATS 4

:\SCALE 1

:\PAPER A4

"c:\Music\IDF\Tallis2.pdf" 1 /PART 1 /CLIPX 0.5967 /CLIPY 4.7767 /WIDTH 7.0767 /HEIGHT 0.5633

"c:\Music\IDF\Tallis2.pdf" 1 /PART 2 /CLIPX 0.5967 /CLIPY 5.4033 /WIDTH 7.0767 /HEIGHT 0.5667

"c:\Music\IDF\Tallis2.pdf" 1 /PART 3 /CLIPX 0.5967 /CLIPY 6.0333 /WIDTH 7.0767 /HEIGHT 0.51

Example 4

This file named "ExampleJob.LOF" provides a list of INI files for a custom job:

:\ESCAPEE JOBS

c:\REDTITAN\SOFTWARE\JOBS\Atlanta12.INI

c:\REDTITAN\SOFTWARE\JOBS\Berlin34.INI

'c:\REDTITAN\SOFTWARE\JOBS\High Wycombe56.INI'

c:\REDTITAN\SOFTWARE\JOBS\Verneuille78.INI

c:\REDTITAN\SOFTWARE\JOBS\Copenhagen90.INI

The User chooses an INI file from this list shown in the EscapeE 'eE' iconEscapeE window:

Job type (.ini file)

c:\REDTITAN\SOFTWARE\JOBS\ExampleJob.LOF

"c:\REDTITAN\SOFTWARE\JOBS\Atlanta12.INI"

"c:\REDTITAN\SOFTWARE\JOBS\Berlin34.INI"

"c:\REDTITAN\SOFTWARE\JOBS\High Wycombe56.INI"

"c:\REDTITAN\SOFTWARE\JOBS\Verneuille78.INI"

"c:\REDTITAN\SOFTWARE\JOBS\Copenhagen90.INI"

Tip: if the purpose of an INI file isn't clear from its name or location, save the job file with the extension ".JOB" instead of ".LOF" and add Comments to make it easier for the User make their choice – see Example .JOB file.
