Open NotePad
Hello
This should be easy. What is the syntax to open a file with notepad?
something (NotePad,"c:MyFile.txt")
Anybody know? I've looked in the MSDN and have found nothing?
Thanks

Copy All Text From Textbox, Open Notepad, And Automatically Paste To New Notepad Shee
Hello everyone.
I am trying to copy all text, that is already in the textbox, to a new notepad sheet.
Example:
Step 1. Copy all text in Text1 box to clipboard.
Step 2. Open Notepad
Step 3. Paste clipboard to notepad.
All this should be done with one click of a button.
I get as far as copying everything to the clipboard, and it even opens up notepad, but I still have to manually paste (CTRL-V) into notepad.
I would even like it to ask me what name to save it as as well as where to save it at...just like the Save As function in Word or something.
Here is what I have so far.
Private Sub cmdCopytoClipboard_Click()
Dim MyAppID
Clipboard.Clear
Clipboard.SetText Text1.Text
MyAppID = Shell("NOTEPAD.EXE", 1)
AppActivate MyAppID
MyAppID = Clipboard.GetText()
End Sub
Open Dialog To Open Text File With Notepad?
Hello,
Can someone please help me to open a text file with the Common Dialog control? I have seen your tutorial and it makes sense, but it uses a rtb control instead of opening the file with notepad as i would like.
HERE IS CURRENT CODE:
(Other properties were setup in properties pages)
Private Sub Command1_Click()
cdlOpenFile.Filter = "Text File (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files|*.*"
cdlOpenFile.ShowOpen
End Sub
THANKS!!!

I can only seem to get the shell command to open the exe file by pointing to it, I thought that if a txt file was associated to notepad by using shell on my txt file Notepad would open automatically.

Using VB To Save An Open Notepad File
Hi,
I was hoping someone might be able to help me with a quick question. I don't have any written code, sorry.
I used the macro recorder to try and save an open notepad file on my desktop but no code appeared in the vb module. Can this be done? I'm a little lost for ideas.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Open Notepad At A Line Number
I have a program that reads data in from a txt file, but first it reads the file to check for any inconsitancies, if one is found it doesn't execute the routine and tells them that there is an inconsitancy and what line number it is on. I then ask if they want to open notepad to view it. I was wondering if there is a way that I can get notepad to open with the cursor already on that line number. My thought was that there must be some sort of command line argument or switch.
Thanks for any help.

Open With Notepad To Last Line In File
IF possible can anyone tell me how to open a file with notepad so you are viewing the last line ?
I don't want to just slam a bunch of page down sendkeys at it...
I need a scrolling display of the progress of a bunch of macros in Excel. Since Excel Application.ScreenUpdating = False I can't just write the messages to a cell, and msgbox stops the proceedure, hence the notepad idea...Also I keep having to re-open notepad as It doesn't view the file in real time as written:
UIhandle = FindWindow(vbNullString, "UserInfo.txt - Notepad")
PostMessage UIhandle, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_CLOSE, 0&
Open "C:StockBookUserInfo.txt" For Append As #1
Print #1, MESSAGE & " " & Format(Now, "hh:mm dd/mmm/yy")
Close #1
Shell "Notepad.exe " & "C:StockBookUserInfo.txt", 3 'somehow to last line of file
Maybe someone has a whole different approach...Else how open notepad to last line in file ??

Use Shell To Open Notepad With A Filepath That Is Not Hardcoded
Currently, I have a call to launch Notepad with a particular textfile.
Shell "Notepad C ProgramFiles est1.txt",vbNormalFocus
But I don't want the path to be hardcoded. How would I insert the variable into the code eventhough the quotes extend from Notepad to the end of the file string?
For example,
path=txtbox1.text
filepath would be path & " est1.txt"
Thank you.
