Title: IWB editor open file
Post by: Andy on November 04, 2019, 07:18:25 AM

Hi,

I was wandering is there a way to make the IDE open a file then same way we can open say notepad?

SYSTEM "C:\\IWBDev3\\Bin\\IWBDev.exe" , "c:\\Test\\SubTest\\1.iwb"

This just opens another copy of the IDE, but doesn't open the file 1.iwb

Thanks,
Andy.

Andy,

If IWB is installed on your PC (not on an USB-stick), this works when the file you want to edit is in the same directory:

Code Select

SYSTEM getstartpath + "test.iwb"
Maybe some experimentation with inserting the path instead of using getstartpath will lead you to a solution?

Good Luck!

This is almost identical to your example in the first post, and it works:

Code Select

string a$ = "D:\\MyIWB\\tmp\\test.iwb"

SYSTEM a$

I'll contact yoy by mail later today..

Egil,

Sorry, thanks just seen your post.

I tried:

Code Select

SYSTEM "explorer.exe" , "C:\\test\\subtest\\test.iwb"

And it works on my Win7 32 bit machine.

Also it works even if your IDE is not open.
