Hi;
I managed to get my script "word" to open up word with the path I typed
on the command line in cygwin.
I am having trouble getting the same to work with excel.
I am win 2000 and using cygwin.
I made a script in /usr/local/bin called "excel".
The script will boot up excel, but not with the file I specified. I get
error messages saying that the file does not exist. Between the "==="
lines are the different contests I have tried for my "excel" script:
version 1
============================================================
exec "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/EXCEL.EXE" "cygpath -w $1"
===========================================================
version 2
exec "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/EXCEL.EXE" "@&"
Usage:
$ word /path/to/file.xls
Any ideas would be appreciated
Thanks
Steve
