This may not apply, (sorry haven't been following thread) but in case you didn't know...
the START command under Windows will open a file according to its extension. E.g. start xyz.xls -- opens xyz.xls in Excel start xyz.doc -- opens xyz.doc in Word start xyz.htm -- opens xyz.htm in Internet Explorer (or whichever browser is registered...) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of steve Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 2:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Opening Files In Excel & Word On 2000 Hi; I've made some scripts that enable me to open Word & Excel from bash on Win 2000. The problem is I can't get either app to open the file I type on the command line with the name of my script :). Does anyone have scripts for opening files with Word and/or Excel from the command line?
