I have this proggy that i want to open certain file types when clicked on and i have tried using the commandline$() function. This does work however when i try to open the file i get and invalid stream error. How can i do this?

Hi code, I had the same problem took me forever to figure out what was going on. When windows uses the commandline$ it also sends quates at the beginning and at the end of the commandline$(). I have to knock the quotes off and then try to load the file:0) That is all I know, that might be the wrong way to do it, but it works. I also noticed that sometimes the commandline$ sent more then just one quate on each end some times 1 quate on the left and two on the right for no reason. Might be a blitz plus bug??? Anyhow that is all. Hope that helps
