Problem with opening various text files in notepad through java

Hi friends,
I need to open any .txt file in notepad by running the code in Java.I could open the notepad through java but not a perticular file.I dont even want to hard code my program that only one perticular file will open through it.I want it generalised...if anyone could help me,it would be really nice...
thanks
Vishal.

If your program opens notepad I'll delete it because I set UltraEdit as my default editor. So if you already must use system-specific code, how about grabbing a Windows manual to find out how to use the editor registered for these files? (Hint "start").

How to open a DWG file with AutoCAD options (AppleScript)?

Hi,
I'm looking for help specifying the AutoCAD options when opening DWG files. I have DWG files of floor plans that I always want to open at the same scale.
I can successfully open a DWG file with the default options using:
open POSIX file "/Users/crmckinnon/Desktop/cabin_floor_plan.dwg" as alias without dialogs
But I don't want the default options, so if I try to specify them:
open POSIX file "/Users/crmckinnon/Desktop/cabin_floor_plan.dwg" as alias with options {class:AutoCAD options, scale unit:"autocad inches"} without dialogs
I get a "Can't find alias" error. How do I specify the AutoCAD options? I'm sure this is due to my lack of understanding of AppleScript. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris

I'll answer my own question. Here's how I specified the options:
open POSIX file filePath as alias with options {pGSO:original size, pASU:inches, pASR:12.0 / 0.1875} without dialogs
I had to look in the Apple Script dictionary to get the "codes" to use. The variable names didn't work. I think that's because some have "global" in the name which is a keyword in Apple Script. Here's what the codes translate to:
pGSO = "global scale options"
pASU = "scale unit"
pASR = "scale ratio"
Thanks,
Chris

How to open a jpg file with Adobe Camera Raw

I know it is possible to open a jpg file with Adobe Camera Raw using Bridge but is it possible to do this using PSE7? Thanks.

Yes. In the editor, File>Open As, and choose camera raw as the format. John Ellis also has a script for doing this directly from the organizer, but I don't have the link right at the moment. Hopefully he'll be along with it sooner or later.

Opening a text file in server from an applet running in the client

Friends,
I want to open a text file in the server(The server machine uses tomcat 4.1.12 server)from an applet running in the client machine;
The applet invokes a servlet that opens the text file;this text file is opened in the server machine; but I want it to be opened in the client machine where the applet is running.
Plese help me to get around this.

You can open the textfile on the servlet and then send the information to the client (applet) as stirngs. The must then applet convert the stirngs into some object or simply display the information in someway. But then the text file that you are opening must be stored in some relevant tomcat directory e.g. on the server. If you want to open a file on the clients computer, you get into signed applets.

How to poll a text file with lab view

I am runnig a soft real time data collecting system for shop floor data collecting.reading serial port to list down data into text file. what is the best way of getting this data into labview?.polling of text file or some easy and quick method??

1.) If the data is coming in separate files, use the 'List directory' function to find out when a new file arrives. Then just read it using one of the standard functions, (i.e. Read txt file.)
2.) IF the data is being appended to a single file, use Open/Read/Close file functions. The read function will give you an offset value which tells you how far into the file you have read. Put that value in a shift register and then you can start reading where you left off when the file is updated.
I hope this helps.

How to open a ai file with some layers named in Japanese with a AI CS5(English Ver)

I can't open some ai files that may contains some layers named in Japanese. I am using AI CS5 (Eng Ver) and how can I open them?
Thx!

At worst you should be getting garbage substituted characters just like when you don't have specific fonts on text objects, but otherwise you should be able to open the file. The only thing that could prevent this otehrwise is something systemic, so you may need to install support for Asian languages (in particular if you are still on Windows XP) or even switch the UI language.

How to Open a rar file with downloaded software

I was bothering this forum yesterday trying to find some way to get a file opened that I had downloaded. Today I discovered that my problem was that "rar" files need their own software to enable them to be opened....So I downloaded the software UnRarX...and it is now sitting on the bottom of my desktop...but I can not get the software into the Applications folder, and so I can not figure out how to use this little package of software to open my "rar" files...
What do I have to do to open my files with this new software???
Thanks..
Miguel

HI,
The UnRarX application should be accessible from your Dock after installing the software. The application icon looks like this:
"How to extract a rar archive?"
1. Launch UnRarX.
2. Drag rar archive into the UnRarX window.
3. Extraction begins automatically.

How to open a .DOC file with MS-Word ?

Hye fellow Java freaks,
I have made an application to upload .DOC and .RTF files to the server using servlets and the Jakarta Commons FileUpload package.
The files are uploading successfully.
Now, I want to place a link to the most recently uploaded file and then, on clicking that link, I want the file to open not in the browser, rather with MS-Word.
What is the servlet code that I should implement to accomplish this ?
Any suggesions ?
Thanx in advance.

I think this is a client-side issue - how the browser chooses to deal with the .doc file it receives.
You can 'save as' and then open the file by hand.
