OT: html code to open a document in kwrite?

[Brian Cluff]

If it doesn't need to be an web (html) based menu system and you are 
just simply wanting an menu to edit files in an infinite loop then you 
can do this:

Create a file named "files" with 2 columns that are pipe delimited like:
path/to/file1.txt|Label for file 1
path/to/file2.txt|Label for file 2
...
path/to/filex.txt|Label for file 3

As a 1 liner:
IFS=$'|\n'; while THEFILE=$(kdialog --menu "Choose a file:" $(< files)); 
do kwrite $THEFILE; done

As a script:
#!/bin/bash
IFS=$'|\n'
while THEFILE=$(kdialog --menu "Choose a file:" $(< files))
do
     kwrite $THEFILE
done

Just execute this from the same directory you wrote the "files" file or 
change the script where it says files to point to your files file.
