This works for me launching(all sorts of) documents..(OSX there is a another
bit bit i have for windows)
$_t_DocumentPath:=<—full path to document
If (Test path name($_T_DocumentPath)=Is a document)
$_t_PosixPath:=Convert path system to POSIX($_t_DocumentPath)
$_t_FilePath:=$_t_char+$_t_PosixPath+$_t_Char
$_t_applicationName:=UTIL_GetDocApps ($_t_DocumentType;True) //do some stuff
to check what app they want(not entirely necessary This will only ask once!-so
could be launching an HTML doc with preferred browser for example
If ($_t_applicationName#"")
//now we must checkt the applicaiton exist
$_t_ApplicationPath:=System folder(Applications or program files)
If (Not(Test path name($_t_ApplicationPath+$_t_applicationName)=Is a document))
//i am not faffing about looking for apps installed somewhere else..
LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS("open "+Char(34)+$_t_PosixPath+Char(34))
Else
LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS("open -a "+Char(34)+$_t_applicationName+Char(34)+"
"+Char(34)+$_t_FilePath+Char(34))
End if
Else
LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS("open "+Char(34)+$_t_PosixPath+Char(34))
End if
