Java Forum / GUI / November 2005run file throught an incoming text
Hi all, I'm looking for a class that can implement a method for lauching files throught an applet button. I know the file class exists but it doesn't have the methods with the functionality i want. Can anyone get me a name of an existing class that implements that functionality, and also the ability to get a piece of text from the working applet and convert it to an url? the objective is to open a file when a message get's to the applet...just like in a mail box...

What does it mean to "launch a file" in this context? My mail box certainly doesn't launch any files. - Oliver > > Hi all, > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > - Oliver What i mean is how to open a file. >> > Hi all, >> > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > What i mean is how to open a file. I get the feeling that you do not want to open the file with your program though, but rather to cause the file to be opened by whatever application is registered to handle it according to the OS. - Oliver >I'm looking for a class that can implement a method for lauching files >throught an applet button. I think what you mean is to launch the associated viewer. That requires platform specific code. You need to launch a command processor such as cmd.exe and pass it the file as a parameter name. It then looks up the association, launches the viewer, and passes it the file name as a parameter.
