How to open a file with approriate program

When I program a project I have a problem of opening a file. For example, If I open a word file I want to call Microsoft Word to open this file or if I open *.mp3 file I want to call Winnamp to open this file etc... I know that VC++ can do that by using ShellExecute() procedure but in Java I don't know how to do that. Can you show me how to do, please.
Thanks.

You may mostly have to do a JNI Call or Spawn a Process and do it. There is one another way of doing it. Use JNDI to search the Registry to find the Associated Program File, parse the commandline arguements and use it to spawn a Process. But I think you need some thirdparty components for Registry Access using JNDI. Try searching for JNDI Registry Access Components.

Externally opening a file with the program its associated with

Basically I'm looking to simulate what would happen if you double clicked on something in a windows explorer window. I want to have the operating system open a file with the application that as associated with it.
how do I do it?

Have you considered the portability issue?
Win - Associate by editable user preferences
Mac - Associate to creation program
Unix/Dos - Explicitly associate program at command
Rather than just using exec, you could look into something encapsulated to set which program to use so you could use on other system.

How to open a file with a link ?

I am using servlets to design an application.
The application supports uploading and downloading of .DOC and .RTF files.
My problem is that I am opening an uploaded file via a link.
OPen File
The above is also working fine and opens the file in the IE browser.
But my problem is that I want to open the file with MS-Word...as is done on many resume-building websites.
1) How am I supposed to do that ?
2) Can I specify ContentType="application/msword" in a link ?
Please Help !!

I did the foll. w.r.t a docbase.
A docbase stores documents and assigns an unique id to each one. The foll. is a code snippet that opens a document's contents in a browser.
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
Connection conn = null;
Statement stm;
ServletOutputStream sos = null;
ResultSet res;
// .... get id of document u want to open
query = "select id from .. where object_name = ' xx' .."
res= stm.executeQuery(query);
Blob blob = res.getBlob("_content"); // this will get content of document identified by id
int blobLen = (int)blob.length();
//the foll. is the part u need..
if (blobLen > 0) {
InputStream contents = blob.getBinaryStream();
response.setContentType("application/msword"); // MS Word
byte[] buf = new byte[blobLen];
int length = -1;
       while ((length = contents.read(buf)) != -1){
          sos = response.getOutputStream();
          sos.write(buf,0,blobLen);
sos.flush();
System.out.println("Doc Received");
contents.close();
res.close();
conn.close();
}

Opening .doc files with wrong program

Hi *,
first I've installed open office. A few month later I installed micorsoft office. After that I converted all office files. Everything was working fine. Now my mac forgot to open .doc files with ms word, he chooses oo word. I do'nt have these problems with .xls files.
Where are the global settings that I can tell my mac to open .doc files with ms word (I will not use "open with" each time;-)
Thanks in advance

Select the file. Do a "Get-Info" from the File menu. (command-I). In the drop down menu "open with" select the program and then confirm you want all files like these to open with that program.

How to open a file with the same name?

Hi, now I practicing making web pages where I put sample codes in one directory and I copy them to edit.
The probrem is, I couldn't open one file while I'm opening another file with the same name.
Is it possible to open a file with the same name in Dreamweaver?

That could be a very error prone practice.
May I suggest you take advantage of DW "Snippets" feature instead.
Simply save any blocks of code you will reuse regularly as snippets,
and give each one a descriptive name you like.
Then you can simply place your cursor in code view where you wish the code,
and click insert on the selected item from the snippet panel.

How to open a file with a specific program

I would like to do this in applescript instead of the terminal. I would like to pick the application and the file in the same command so to avoid opening a blank document.
open -a textedit /Users/mac/Desktop/GNPRC.doc

Both of the previous solutions open the "GNPRC.doc" document. However, only the first one returns a result:
*tell application "TextEdit" to open POSIX file "/Users/mac/Desktop/GNPRC.doc"*
*get result* --> document "GNPRC.doc" of application "TextEdit"
*tell application "Finder" to open POSIX file "/Users/mac/Desktop/GNPRC.doc" using (path to application "TextEdit")*
*get result* --> AppleScript Error — The variable result is not defined.

You can restore only to a BlackBerry device, and then once you copied what you wanted to the storage of your choice (computer or cloud). you can then copy it to whatever device you choose.
But to get the information from the backup file, you will need to use a BlackBerry 10 device

How to open a file with C# for wp8

I have a downloaded file (downloaded by my app) for instance a doc or a pdf.
How is possible to open it from my WP8 application using C#?
Thanks

Hi SeDevWP,
If you have installed a app that can open your file on your phone, then you can open it on your Windows Phone 8 application, for example, if you want to open a pdf file in your application and you have installed the Adobe Reader,
then you can use the following code to open the pdf file in C#:
private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs rea)
StorageFolder local = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder;
StorageFile pdffile = await local.GetFileAsync("file.pdf");
// Launch the pdf file.
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync(pdffile);
For more information, please try to refer to this document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/jj206987(v=vs.105).aspx .
If you do not installed a app that can open your file on your phone, then maybe you need to check some third-party library to meet your requirement.

How to open pdf file with command?

How to open alias files with applescript in Powerpoint?

I would like to do something like this:
set F to choose folder
tell application "Finder" to set P to (files of entire contents of F whose name extension is "ppt")
repeat with oneFile in P
          tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
activate
                    open (oneFile as alias)
          end tell
end tell
It works fine if all files are regular files.
But I want/need it to work also, if some of the files are aliases (icon has the little pointer in Finder).
Could some kind soul explain to me what I would have to do?
TIA.
Gabriel.

Are you saying this doesn't work? Generally applications don't/shouldn't care about whether you pass them an actual file or an alias.
In either case, it's not hard to dereference the alias back to the original file:
set F to choose folder
tell application "Finder" to set P to (files of entire contents of F whose name extension is "ppt")
repeat with oneFile in P
          if class of oneFile is alias file then
                    tell application "Finder" to set oneFile to (original item of oneFile)
          end if
open oneFile
end repeat
Note that I've just specified 'open oneFile' rather than targetting PowerPoint directly - there's no need to target PowerPoint if it's the default application for .ppt files. However, there's no problem telling PowerPoint to open the file if you prefer.
