It depends on what you are trying to do.

There are functions to read data from text files (.txt), from spreadsheet files (.xls).

There are also functions to read from picture files (.png , .jpg, etc)

What exactly are you trying to do?

If you want to open the text or picture with notepad or windows picture viewer you can use the System exec vi. There is surely of lot of other methods depending on want what you exactly want to do.
