Running external program file in a program I choose

[Herb191 4]

How would I run a external program file in a program I choose. Essentially I want to do the same thing ShellExecute but I want my script to pick what program opens it.

I could use Run() and then automate the program to open the file I want, but it seems like there should be an easier/better way of doing it.

Usually these programs accept some parameters.

Test first in a cmd window to see if it works.

An example how to use notepad this way:

Run("notepad.exe c:\test.txt")

Just what I needed. Thanks.
