Hi,
I am not sure where to ask this question, but here goes. I am working on a program that outputs to a text file. I can do this without any issues.
My question is, how can I automatically open the text file at the end of the program to see its contents? It is tedious to switch to the directory and double-click it every time to open it.
Thanks,
JackR
Do you care what platform you get a solution for?
ShellExecute() (at the end)
Enter the full path to the text file, and it will open it in the app you have chosen to view text files.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
i think a cleaner solution would be to use a batch file (windows) or a shell script (everything else) to first run the program then display the file.
Thank you for the advice. Shell script it is.
