NAME

rnsl — Rad-Net String List file format

DESCRIPTION

rnsl is a text file format that lists strings. Each string is expanded and therefore can be composed of variables (e.g. ${MY_PATH}/file.txt).

Characters behind the hash mark (#) are considered comments and are therefore ignored, as well as empty lines, i.e. lines without characters or composed only of spaces and tabs.

The file format is as follows:

⟨`rnsl`⟩	::=	⟨`strings-count`⟩
		`string`
		`...`
⟨`strings-count`⟩	::=	`integer`

EXAMPLES

3
string0
"string 1"
"${MY_VARIABLE}/string 2"

HISTORY

The rnsl format was first developed for the htrdr-planeto(1) program.
