Trouble with opening a file

[cueclub]

I'm trying to link a menu item to open the settings filr.

I have tried a number of ways to do it.

FileOpen("settings.ini")

FileOpen(@scriptdir & "\settings.ini")

run(@scriptdir & "\settings.ini")

Cant seem to get it to work. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Cue

Open it how? If you want to open it with notepad, your last snippet is close, try this

run("notepad " & @scriptdir & "\settings.ini")

[SeF]

ShellExecute(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini")

Also, there are some ini specified functions:

IniDelete, IniRead, IniReadSection, IniReadSectionNames, IniRenameSection, IniWrite, IniWriteSection

run("notepad "

er, yup thats what I forgot. Thanks somdcomputerguy

SeF, I was trying to open it within a program to edit it if need be. The ini controls I am familiar with. Thank you both for your reply's

If you associate the ini extension with notepad. In Windows. I don't remember exactly how to do that, in the Control Panel | Default Programs I think, then your last snippet (or the one in SeF's post) will act like the one in my earlier post.

Edit: Oh jeez, sorry cueclub, you probably know that already..
