You can use certain codes in some of the string gadgets in
MailWatchPrefs. These gadgets are flagged in the documentation;
generally, all of the icon names and any of the action definition
strings will accept these codes. The codes will then be translated at
run-time by MailWatch to the actual values as stated in the
table below. This enables the program to inform the user dynamically of
the file size, or to call programs with dynamic arguments (that is,
arguments that will change whenever the watched file does).
You can also bring up a requester in MailWatchPrefs that will
tell you the codes and their meanings.
The codes are as follows:
| %a |
ARexx alias |
| %n |
File/directory name (no path) |
| %f |
File/directory name (with path) |
| %s |
File/directory size |
| %% |
The character '%' |
