looking 4 py code: output file in a text box - Skaperen - Dec-31-2016
i am wanting a command to output one (small) file in a text box, much like those relational db tools often do.
edit 1:
it would be a plus to put the file name somewhere reasonable in the output.

See Linux 'fmt' and 'fold' commands

i mean something like:
Output:+--------------+
| this is text |
| in a little |
| box |
+--------------+this one should be a module function and command in one file.
