This script can be used for viewing a bunch of well known file types.
The script looks for an X environment and launches either a graphical
program or an ascii oriented program.
It looks at the extension and its magic number (in that order) to
determine the file type. Its by far complete but can be extended as
needed.
I am using this script almost everywhere for viewing files so also in mutt.
The script uses /bin/zsh, but /bin/bash should work as well.
Usage: pitview [-dtH] <filename> [ filename filename ... ]
or: pitview [-dtH] <url>
-d = dump (implies -t)
-t = text mode
-H = you'r looking at it :-)
for example 'pitview memo.doc'
'pitview students.xls'
'pitview www.mutt.org'
'pitview RobbieWilliams_KylieMinogue-Kids.mp3'
...
e.g. .urlview: COMMAND pitview %s
e.g. mailcap: text/html; pitview %s; test=RunningX
text/html; pitview %s; nametemplate=%s.html
application/msword; pitview %s; test=RunningX
application/msword; pitview -d %s; copiousoutput
application/msexcel; pitview -d %s; copiousoutput
...
Just wanted to share with the group as someone might find it useful (or not).
