Show Input/Output Text File

Form:  Display Text File

The File menu > Show Input/Output Text Files command provides a convenient way to view input and output text files. The input text files might include those with the .$2k and .s2k extensions and perhaps any time history or response spectrum text files. The output files might include the output printed to a file rather than to a printer. Typically, those files have a .txt extension.

  1. Click the File menu > Show Input/Output Text Files command to access the Display Text File form.

  2. Select the path and filename for the file to be viewed. Click the Open button to display the file using Windows WordPad.

  3. Use the menu commands in WordPad to print, save, edit, or format the file as necessary.
