Launch text file in Notepad

[onestcoder]

What I want to do is when a user clicks to read my Read Me file from my Gui it opens the readme.txt file in Notepad.exe

In the help files I see this:

Which is the first step to understanding how to do it.

Run("Notepad.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

I have also read this post:

Launching a pdf file from a script, Launching a pdf file from a script

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...hl=@SW_MAXIMIZE

Which shows me

Run("explorer.exe " & @ScriptDir & "\Documentation\Help.pdf", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Here is what I have mod it to

Run("Notepad.exe " & @ScriptDir & "\include\readme.txt", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

But its not working for me. Is there something I'm missing???

works for me.... Sometimes you need extra quotes when the file path contains spaces, but it works either way for me.

$path = @ScriptDir & "\include\readme.txt"

;Debug
MsgBox(0,"Path", $path)
If Not FileExists($path) Then MsgBox(0,"error","File not found")
    
;Try one
Run("Notepad.exe " & $path, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

;Second try
Run("Notepad.exe " & """" & $path & """", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

i have found when the path has spaces...;

$Path = FileGetShortName( ACTUAL PATH )

Run("Prog.exe " & $path, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

works everytime
