wd 'winexec *start "path/to/file"' doesn't work for me. The following does, but suffers from the same problem as I had before. wd 'winexec "cmd.exe /C start ',filename,'" sw_hide'
I have looked through past posts in the forum but can't find an answer to my original question. I can open a filename containing spaces if I explicitly name the application that I want to run: wd 'winexec "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\excel.exe" "drive:/path to/file"' but if I want to "open a file with the application associated with that file extension" then I haven't found an answer yet. > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Oleg Kobchenko > You could try > > wd 'winexec *start "path/to/file"' > > See also in forum earlier. > > > On Jul 11, 2007, at 3:15 AM, "Sherlock, Ric" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I want to open a file with the application associated with > that file extension. > E.g.
