Please could someone help me - Associating a file with your program.

I am making a perl editor which requires a text box in which you write the code. Perl files come with the extensions (.pl) & (.CGI). Please could someone tell me how I could make it so when someone clicks on a .pl file, my program opens (I can get this far) but with the text box containing the file contents

Thank you

Richard Charlton

use Command() to grab command line parameters which should be the filename of the file you want to open then read it into the text box


eg:

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim filename As String
Dim fnum As Byte
Dim strtemp As String
 filename = Command()
If filename <> "" Then
  fnum = FreeFile
 
  Open filename For Binary As fnum
  strtemp = Space(LOF(fnum))
  Get fnum, , strtemp
  Close fnum
  End If
 
  Text1.Text = strtemp
End Sub

Thanks
