[solved] send a file to the ide?

[idle]

I need to find a nice way to send a file to the IDE from an external tool
current method doesn't work if there are spaces in the file name and it will also open another instance of the IDE which isn't intended.
#Gadget_file is a button gadget and on left click it

Code: Select all

RunProgram(#PB_Compiler_Home + "purebasic.exe",GetGadgetText(#Gadget_file),"")

Hi idle
Did not test it but I think it might work
1- Register your file type to PB (like *.txt)
2- Use the next

Code: Select all

ShellExecute_(#Null, @"open"	, @Yourfile$, @"", @"Purebasic folder", #SW_NORMAL)

I hope it will work
Just test it with *.txt and the context menu Open with and it works

Thank you, the forum is a much better place with you around.
I plan to be around for many more years.

Code: Select all

RunProgram(#PB_Compiler_Home + "purebasic.exe",GetGadgetText(#Gadget_file),"")

1. All paths that are in the second parameter must be escaped with quotes, since on the command line a space is a parameter separator, and quotes correct this.
2. #PB_Compiler_Home - this is the path for your OS, on other computers it is different. This is correct only if the source is used, then on another computer its own path will be obtained.

Code: Select all

path$ = GetEnvironmentVariable("PB_TOOL_IDE")
If Asc(path$) And FileSize(path$) > 0
	RunProgram(path$, #DQUOTE$ + GetGadgetText(#Gadget_file) + #DQUOTE$,"")
EndIf

If two IDEs of different versions are open, then PB_TOOL_IDE uses the path from the instance in which the tool is running.

Thanks, that works great.
