how to open a file (ie. .txt file) in C++ (kinda like double clicking it in windows)?

Question

我想知道如何在C ++中打开一个文件（比如双击它）？

Answer 1

Provided you have the ".txt" extension registered (and text files should be associated with Notepad in a default installation, or something else if you've changed it from Explorer - you'd have to work pretty hard to disassociate them), Windows will open it for you without you having to specify the executable name:

ShellExecute (hwnd,"open","c:\\x.txt",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOW);

or, for a web page in your browser of choice:

ShellExecute (hwnd,"open","http://www.microsoft.com",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOW);

Answer 2

使用ShellExecute函数和“打开”操作。

Answer 3

Use ShellExecute with the "open" verb. See this article for more information.

Answer 4

简单方法：system（“notepad.exe [location to file]”）;

Answer 5

You mean like open explorer?
How about using

system("explorer.exe file.to.open");
