THE DATA READER - READING TEXT IN FILES

You can read text inside any document selected in UltraFind's File List window by pressing the [Read] button. Using this function you can look inside a document without having to open it, read documents you can't open when you don't have the Creator application, recover text from damaged documents, and read any keywords, captions or credits carried in the Resource Fork of certain picture files, sound files and movies, etc. (for an explanation of "Resource Fork", see "Text Search").

You can select and copy text out of the Data Reader for pasting into another application (but you cannot edit text in the Data Reader window). The Data Reader is drag-aware and allows you to drag and drop text into other drag-aware applications.

The Data Reader 'reads' a file's contents directly from the hard disk without actually opening the file. Therefore it can not display any of the document's original formatting. Many documents (especially DTP files) will contain pictures or other items such as lines or boxes which UltraFind can not display, instead these appear as random 'control' characters.

UltraFind is script-system compatible. Therefore if you tell it to read, for example, a Japanese or Greek document, it will display in correct Japanese or Greek (providing you are running a localised version of the MacOS, e.g.: KanjiTalk).

竏š    HTML: When reading HTML documents, the Data Reader will automatically unravel HTML source code in 'blocked' format (documents saved with no linefeeds), allowing you to view and extract code with correct paragraphs.
