Opening a File in an App

[scottharr27]

With a click of a button, is there a way i can open up a program called TextPad and open specified files within it. I know i could do:

Shell "C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\TextPad.exe"

But I'd like a specified text file to be opened up with TextPad.

You can use;

Shell "Notepad Test.txt"

or Textpad, even

Shell "C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\TextPad.exe test.txt"

make sure you are in the folder that contains test, otherwise, you'll need the path to that also. For spaces, I think you need shell execute.
