can someone please help me?

ok.. here's what i'm trying to do: i want to associate a bogus extension - text file (let's say .xyz) with this script

whenever I doubleclick on a .xyz extension file, the script would run and add it's content to the windows clipboard

here's what i've got so far:

$file = FileOpen("$file opened with this script$", 0)

; Check if file opened for reading OK

If $file = -1 Then

MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")

Exit

EndIf

; copy the content to clipboard

While 1

$chars = FileRead($file)

If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop

ClipPut($chars)

Wend

what i'm having problems with is finding a way to define < $file opened with this script$ > -> this being the .xyz file i doubleclicked on, starting the script

does anyone know how i could do this?

thanks for reading

that's great, but not exactly what i'm looking for

I have no problem configuring manually .xyz files to open with the script (from control panel)

what I do not know how to do is how to pass file.xyz as an argument to the script

not even sure if you can do this, but there should be a way...

example of command line arg

complie this

If $CmdLine[0] > 0 Then
MsgBox(0,"Param 1", $CmdLine[1])
EndIf

run this script from same folder

Run("filename.exe hi_im_param_1")
