Opening Files From Command Results

[David Sargent]

I run a utility which creates a file and the following is output to the command results window.

Record saved to O:\RC\ANSWER\Q6

What I would like to do is to click on the file name and textpad open the file for me.

I'm sure this is quite simple but I don't know where to start and trawling through the forum has left me more confused than ever.

You should put the following into the
Regular expression to match output
edit field:

Record saved to \(.*\)

and select 1 in the "File Register" combo.

Click on the File name (to put the cursor there) and enter ctrl+shift+g to open the file (if the filename isn't surrounded by whitespace you need to select it).

If you use it a lot you may want to assign the function to an easier key combo (it's set in "Configure/Preferences/Keyboard/File [FileGoTo]" ).

This worked great. Thankyou.
I must get to grips with these regular expressions as they seem quite useful.
