hi
Hello there.
i am on macosx 10.2
Welcome fellow Mac fan.
i am creating file.txt with otherfile.pl
i would like to open file.txt in the app TextEdit through otherfile.pl
There is a command line app called 'open' you can shell out to for this. I'm not sure if it's part of the Mac OS X install or the Developer tools though, so if you don't find it try installing the tools.
i have just installed Mac::Apps::Launch but that is just capable of launching TextEdit ( to my knowledge ) and not opening file.txt
is there a way of creating a text file and at the same time open it in TextEdit ?
See if this one-liner gets you going:
perl -e 'system "open -a TextEdit file.txt"'
Good luck.
James
