Print untitled notepad page?


Recommended Posts

I've found a couple of different ways to print files through AI but haven't figured out what to do about an open, untitled notepad page without doing it "manually" through something like ^p keystrokes. Is there another way besides ^p?

Since it's a text file, _FilePrint works; so does this type of thing:

ShellExecute($SamePartition & "\APPS\TEXT\npad, Metapad v3.51\APP- Metapad v3.51\Metapad.exe","/p " & $FILE)

But this seems to be for just saved files and not unsaved files with data on an unsaved notepad page.

thx. ;)

....save the notepad page to some temp directory and delete it when you are done. Do you even need to use notepad? I see your other post... so why can't you just save it all to a variable and do a FileWrite, then print that file.
