Opening Files In Excel & Word On 2000

[Seth Rubin]

This may not apply, (sorry haven't been following thread) but in case you
didn't know...

the START command under Windows will open a file according to its extension.
E.g.

start xyz.xls -- opens xyz.xls in Excel
start xyz.doc -- opens xyz.doc in Word
start xyz.htm -- opens xyz.htm in Internet Explorer (or whichever browser is
registered...)

Subject: Opening Files In Excel & Word On 2000


Hi;

I've made some scripts that enable me to open Word & Excel from bash on
Win 2000.

The problem is I can't get either app to open the file I type on the
command line with the name of my script :).

Does anyone have scripts for opening files with Word and/or Excel from
the command line?

Thanks in advance

Steve
