The oldest text in Phoenician script is an inscription on the sarcophagus of King Ahiram.

Due to the near-identity of the Aramaic and the classical Hebrew alphabets, Aramaic text is mostly typeset in standard Hebrew script in scholarly literature.

The Old Testament is called by the Jews the Tanakh, an acronym formed by combining the initials of the three sections by which the Jews divide the text: the Torah, or Law ( the Pentateuch ), the Nevi ' im, or Prophets, and the Ketuvim, or Writings or Hagiographa ( with vowels added, as Hebrew is written with a consonantal script, TaNaKh ).

Bidirectional script support is the capability of a computer system to correctly display bi-directional text.

The inscription includes three versions of the same text, written in three different cuneiform script languages: Old Persian, Elamite, and Babylonian ( a later form of Akkadian ).

Its persistence can probably be explained by the fact that it can be invoked to automatically perform small modifications on text files, by piping a script of commands to it through standard input.

The Latin script is also often used in modern Japanese, especially for company names and logos, advertising, and when entering Japanese text into a computer.

This text was in the same script used in the ancient Buddhist centres of learning in Nalanda and Vikramashila.

") In film and theatre, a manuscript, or script for short, is an author's or dramatist's text, used by a theatre company or film crew during the production of the work's performance or filming.

This book had enjoyed considerable success in the 1520s, when it went through half a dozen editions ( see External links below for facsimiles and translations ) but did not sustain its influence, perhaps owing to its mostly Latin text, Gothic script and many difficult abbreviations.

The Rosetta Stone is an ancient Egyptian granodiorite stele inscribed with a decree issued at Memphis in 196 BC on behalf of King Ptolemy V. The decree appears in three scripts: the upper text is Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, the middle portion Demotic script, and the lowest Ancient Greek.

One of these, the printer and gifted linguist Jean-Joseph Marcel, is credited as the first to recognise that the middle text, originally guessed to be Syriac, was, in fact, written in the Egyptian demotic script, rarely used for stone inscriptions and, therefore, seldom seen by scholars at that time.

The French Orientalist Antoine-Isaac Silvestre de Sacy, who had been discussing this work with Åkerblad, received in 1801 from Jean-Antoine Chaptal, French minister of the interior, one of the early lithographic prints of the Rosetta Stone, and realised that the middle text was in this same script.

He and Åkerblad set to work, both focusing on the middle text and assuming that the script was alphabetic.

Rodat's script was submitted to producer Mark Gordon, who liked the story but only accepted the text after 11 redrafts.

Following this, the script executes the command < span style =" font-family: courier "> clear </ span > which clears terminal of all text before going to the next line.

It is a form of translation, and is the practice of converting a text from one script into another.

In version 5. 5, SubMatches were added to the regular expression class in VBScript, to finally allow script authors to capture the text within the expression's groups.

The games also support commands to the game directly ( rather than taking actions within the fictional setting of the game ) such as " save " and " restore ", " script " and " unscript " ( which begin and end a text transcript of the game text ), " restart ", and " quit ".

Ideally, a fault management system should be able to correctly identify events and automatically take action, either launching a program or script to take corrective action, or activating notification software that allows a human to take proper intervention ( i. e. send e-mail or SMS text to a mobile phone ).

Plain text is also commonly used for configuration files, which are read for saved settings at the startup of a program, and for much e-mail.

This has led to the perception of an OS as a complete user-system with an integrated graphical user interface, utilities, some applications such as text editors and file managers, and configuration tools.

The configuration and records of posts can be stored in text files or in a database.

* Uniqueness Database Files, a Windows XP Professional configuration text file

The configuration is recorded in ~/ GNUstep / Defaults / WMRootMenu as a text file which can be easily read and edited ( in versions after 0. 94. 0 it can also be automatically generated from a list of installed applications using a program called wmgenmenu ).

* Elektra Initiative, an alternative back-end for text configuration files

This configuration meta-data is also stored inside the configuration database, and is called a schema ; it could contain a ( possibly localized ) descriptive text, the valid type of the value bound to a key, and a default value.

Settings can be altered by editing plain text configuration files.

WinShell includes a text editor, syntax highlighting, project management, spell checking, a table wizard, BibTeX front-end, Unicode support, different toolbars, user configuration options and it is portable ( e. g. on a USB drive ).

This type of website is mainly used by programmers to store pieces of source code or configuration information, but anyone can basically share any type of text.

DOSBox is a command-line program, configured either by a set of command-line arguments or by editing a plain text configuration file.

This tool is a key feature in Mandriva Linux because it puts many configuration tools together in one place, and it is easier for a user who is new to Linux for configuring their system instead of changing configuration files using a text editor.

Cream is a configuration of the Vim text editor that consists of a set of scripts which can be run within Vim to make it behave more like an editor now common to most personal computers which conform to the Common User Access standards of interface and operability.

A status bar can also be text-based, primarily in console-based applications, in which case it is usually the last row in an 80x25 text mode configuration, leaving the top 24 rows for application data.

The user should be able to operate the system through console mode ( i. e. " text mode ") when configuring X, as X might fail to start due to an invalid configuration leaving the user with merely the CLI.

FireHOL does not use a GUI, but is configured through an easy to understand plain text configuration file.

The Elektra Initiative provides an alternative back-end for text configuration files for the Linux operating system.

Instead of each program having its own text configuration files, with a variety of formats, Elektra tries to provide a universal, hierarchical, fast and consistent namespace and infrastructure to access configuration parameters through a key-value pair mechanism inspired by the Windows Registry.

In versions of Solaris prior to Solaris 10, and in UNIX in general, services are configured in text files, with startup files in the / etc / rc. d / directory trees, and configuration data in files such as / etc / inittab and / etc / inetd. conf.

The configuration file is written with a text editor ( standard as part of any Operating System software ).

Maximus configuration is entirely through editing text files, prior to running a compiler to convert the text files to binary configuration files.
