Opening a file

Post by D4vidrim » Mon Jan 20, 2014 12:22 pm

Hi,
I'm trying to tell livecode to open a file (csv, pdf, ...) with the associated application (Excel for csv files, Acrobat Reader for pdf files,...)

I'd like to create a csv from a datagrid, when the csv file is created and saved, I want excel to open the file.

Is it possible?


Thanks

Klaus

Hi D4vidrim,

yes, should be possible!
Check "launch" in the dictionary, that is what you are looking for :D


Best

Klaus

Thank you, that's exactly what I needed!
I was looking for "open" something, not launch!
