Using folderitem.open with documents parameters

[Michel_Bujardet]

I want to open BBEdit with html documents.

Unfortunately, it does not work. The app is launched, without loading the document.

BBEditFolderItem.open("/Users/michelbujardet/Documents/Yoyo.html")

Am I missing something ?

You’ve answered this question yourself for BBEdit’s sister app TextWrangler

Open a document

[quote=86507:@Bob Gordon]Is it possible to, from Xojo, open a document using a specific program. For example, could I in code open a .txt with TextWrangler rather than Text Edit on a Mac?[/quote] Use a shell to send a command line such as : open -a TextWrangler /Users/Mitch/Myfile.txt See http://osxdaily.com/2007/02/01/how-to-launch-gui-applications-from-the-terminal/ for more.

Superb. It works impeccably.

Thank you Tim
