Wordpad - command line args

Post by AngusL »

Is it possible to open a file using a wordpad command line argument (if there is such a thing :P). If not, can it be done with an IE command line? If not, how else may I do this (cleanly, I can use clunky workarounds already :P :lol: )?

Bleh, a lot of questions. :P TIA.

How about START?

Code: Select all

START $filename
Non-executables are invoked through their file association.

Thanks, I just used the wordpad <filename> option, was closest to what I was looking for. :)
