Text Preview Scipt Topic is solved

[realdeal599]

I am looking for an existing ahk script that has the ability to preview file contents.

Seems pretty straight forward so didn't want to recreate it but...

My goal is to have a dynamically fed list of files in a left pane. When a file in that list is selected the contents are displayed in a right pane.

Seems straight forward and didn't want to re-invent the wheel on that portion if it already exists. I searched and could not find one but...

Thanks...

Just for the records. Want to use Explorers preview pane to display files with another/new file extension (eg. AHK files)?!!
