Correct usage of @filename

[Phil Reynolds]

Hi,
Reading TP Help on "Quick Open":

>>
It accepts single filenames, wildcards, or files specified as "@filename", where "filename" is the name of a file containing a list of files to open, one per line. In all cases, UNIX or DOS path separators may be used.
<<

I've created a file named @web_files with both no or a .txt extension, and put these lines in the file:

C:\Documents\TextPad\Web\search.htm
C:\Documents\TextPad\Web\srchhelp.htm
C:\Documents\TextPad\Web\subscribe.htm

Entering @web_files in Quick Open merely opens that file, and does not open each file contained in it.

??

Thanks,

Hi Phil!

The @ must not be part of the filename. Just name the file web_files.
