Re: Launch Command and "doc's" - Razzak's Reply

[A. Razzak Memon]

Lee,

Follow these easy steps to make that you are not doing
anything wrong:

01. Launch TGRB2000 (ver 6.5++) for Windows

02. At the Mighty R> prompt:

SHOW VERSION

R:BASE 2000 v6.5++ Windows, Build: 1.842xRT03 is the
latest shipping version.

03. CONNECT DBName

04. SHOW CHAR

Specifically, note the setting for QUOTES

05. Now, let's create a test file (long file name with spaces)

If the database default QUOTE SETting is single quote, then:

RBEdit 'Test This File.TXT'

If th database default QUOTE SETting is double quotes, then:

RBEdit "Test This File.TXT"

06. While in RBEdit mode, in a blank document, type something like:

The POWER of LAUNCH command in TGRB2000 (ver 6.5++) for Windows!

07. Save the file.

Notice the file name: Test This File.TXT


The file name is 14 characters long + the three character
extension of TXT.

Normally, all .TXT files are associated with windows Notepad.

08. At the R> prompt, type:

LAUNCH 'Test This File.TXT'

OR

LAUNCH "Test This File.TXT"

09. What do you see?

The LAUNCH command started the Windows Notepad along with the
Test This File.TXT to be edited!

There you have it ...

Make sure to have fun and let us know your findings.

Very Best Regards,

Razzak.

The launch command answers a lot of problems--
I think it's great!

<<<<

Lee,

The pleasure is all mine!

I noticed, that when opening a "doc" file, it will not
recognize file names that have spaces in them. Example:
my word file.doc (won't open)(spaces between 'my and word'
and 'word and file') but mywordfile.doc (will open)

(no spaces anywhere) Is this normal? Can spaces be used?

Try:

LAUNCH 'my word file.doc'

OR

LAUNCH 'C:\My Documents\my word file.doc'

. Notice the QUOTES around the file name.
. Make sure to use the database default QUOTES SETtings

Enjoy and make sure to have fun!

Very Best Regards,

Razzak.
