How to open a file with a specific extension from folder

[h3xl3y]

Hi

I am trying to open a file that can have different extension (.cue,.img) and name from a folder with a program

I can extract it to a folder but can't open it after

But i can open the file in that program if i don't extract it (if it is launched uncompressed)

The bad thing is that i have to keep my files compressed for space reasons

Searched everywhere but always find some different code that could work so i don't even know now which method is best

So far i have this

$app = "program.exe"
$app1 = "splash.exe"
$windows = "program window"
$Source = $CmdLine [1]
$Dest = "D:\Temp\"

If $CmdLine[0] == 1 Then
   RunWait('"'&@ScriptDir & '\7z.exe"' & ' x "' & $Source & '" ' & "-y -o" & '"' & $Dest & '"', "", @SW_HIDE)
   _MouseTrap(@DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight)
   Run( $app1 )
   Do
     Sleep(1)
   Until _IsPressed( "20" )    
   ProcessClose( $app1 )
   Run('"' & $app & '" "' & $CmdLine[1] & '"')
   WinWait ( $windows )
   WinActivate ( $windows )
   While ProcessExists( $app )
       Sleep(500)
   WEnd
   Exit 0
EndIf

If someone know how to do it please help

Thanks

ShellExecute?

ShellExecute?

I tried to look at this but it seems that is used more to run a program

and what i try to do is open the extracted file with other application like opening a .cue file with Daemon Tools

sorry that if i was not clear enough in my previous post

Look again, it's used to open a file/program/URL etc. with the program that associated with that file type. So, if it's an html file or URL it will open with the default browser, if it's a .txt file it will be opened by the program associated with text files, and so on.

That it's not working for me.

My program is not associated because is portable.

How would you normally start the program with the file to be opened? Write the Run command the same way.

Tis is the line i used before, and works for uncompressed files of course without the unzip line

Run('"' & $app & '" -nogui -loadbin "' & $CmdLine[1] & '"')

But with the unzip part from the first post doesn't work anymore

I changed 

$CmdLine[1]

 with $file

$file = "D:\Temp\*.cue"

and other variations, but no luck

Not sure but this might help; Needed this to open files with reader instead of acrobat:

Local $tllpdf = (@ScriptDir & "\TLL.pdf")
ShellExecute('AcroRd32.exe', $tllpdf, "", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
