fileopenwith?

Is there a way to do a fileopen and choose the program for which to open the file?

FileOpen() opens the file to be able to do FileRead() or FileWrite() and doesn't have any relation with starting a program to open a file.

You can use Run() or ShellExecute() for that.

Thank You Jos, I hadn't used the command yet, so I just assumed that it opened it in the default program.

Along the lines of a "FileOpenWith" variation, you could use something along the following lines to use the Windows "Open With" prompt to open a file with a program other than the default association:

$sFile = FileOpenDialog("Open File...",@ScriptDir,"(*.*)")
If Not @error Then
    Run("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL " &$sFile ,@SystemDir)
Else
    Exit
EndIf

Thank you Monamo, I'll look into that as well
