Mike, I’m not sure. I want to have a running application and then periodically a different application on the computer might send my app a text string.
Scenario A different application sends the command pathtomyapp 555-555-5555. My application would have some way of receiving the command and then call a handler in my app to do a search.. I don’t see what my handler would look like in my app. Thanks, Bill Vlahos On Sep 10, 2014, at 10:57 AM, Michael Doub <miked...@gmail.com> wrote: > Look up $ in the dictionary.
