Win 2000 : Open Files With Word & Excel From The Command Line

[Thorsten Kampe]

* Steve (03-02-15 04:55 +0100)
> I put script files called "word" and "excel" in my /usr/local/bin. These
> files have the path to the ms word and ms excel executables.
> 
> They work, they bring up the apps, but I can't get the apps to take
> command line arguments to open remote files.
> 
> For example:
> 
> cygwin> word c:/docs/memos/parking/myfile.doc

cygstart /cygdrive/c/docs/memos/parking/myfile.doc
