Open file in a default editor

Can any one tell me how can i get to know what is the default editor for a particular PC
Is there any way to know what is the default editor ??
can JEditorPane be helpful..
The following is the code where i pass "winword" or "notepad" (which is hard coded)in the parameter ... to open the file in that editor.. i m using JFileChooser..
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("WINWORD "+chooser.getSelectedFile().getName());
i want the system to first get what the default editor is ..and then open a file in that editor
can any one pleaseeeeee help me
i would be thankful...

hi,
I do know how to open it with notepad:try
String cmd = "Notepad " + filename;
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace ();
}It is possible to open it with the standard texteditor, certainly by retrieving it from the windows registry. Perhaps there is a routine for it like for Internet Explorer but that I don't know.
greetz,
Stijn
P.S. to test these commands you can go to start > run, enter notepad (or any other command) and click OK

    I am really struck with the installation any help will be highly appreciated.
    best regards,
    Zeeshan

    Hi:
    It seemed to me that you put the wrong directory or drive when started the installation. It shows "error message: No such file or directory" when trying to locate the files.
    You can try to verify your inputs during first phase of the installation.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to configure double click to open picture in my default editor (Photoshop CC)?

  • Cant open file directly on default program

    hi!
    I´m trying to open a .RVT file in a program called Revit, wich is the default program for those files, and now its not working, it says the default program is Revit, but when I try to open the file it opens revit, not the file in revit, so I´ve got to go
    to open/file...etc... and after a while it gets hard finding every file... 
    can you tell me what do I do, I´m assuming I will have to go to *reddit* but after that I dont know...
    thanks!!!

    Hi,
    S.Sengupta's suggestion is worth a try. Also you could try to reset the default program for test:
    Change the program that opens a type of file

  • I keep on getting the message 'AppleScript Editor cannot open files in the "AppleScript Editor Document" format' when I try download software?

    Is there a way to still download these programs?

    Firefox reports that it is my default browser. I changed the default browser to Chrome and then back to Firefox, in case that's what you meant by "redo." Right-clicking and picking Firefox in the Open With menu works, but double-clicking the file or just picking Open in the right-click menu does not.
    I don't know why this is. Could it be due to a version update? I've noticed that Google Notifier's "Go to Inbox" no longer opens up Gmail in Firefox either.

  • How can I open files using a default zoom level?

    When I open a file in acrobat reader, the letters are too small that I have to zoom out the documents in order to read them. Is it a way to pre-set the zoom level every time I open the files?

    I have the same issue - .
    We NEED a way to have OUR default zoom override whatever some author thought was a wonderful zoom level.
    The Zoom setting in Page Display and also in Accessibility are not honored in V10.1.7, and from other posts, not in earlier versions either.
    And, yes I can provide many documents which apparently have author created zoom levels to prove the point, if needed.

    Hello, all Community!
    Here's a iWork Numbers file, edited and successful saved yesterday to local folder, named Work.numbers.
    Today this file not opening anymore. Number's says: "Can't open file ..." And just one button "OK".
    In system log here's next lines:

    What I done to try resolve this problem:
    1. Checked permissions and repaired.
    2. Tried to open file in iCloud web-editor - no result. iCloud says that it can't open this spreadsheet.
    3. Tried to convert file via some online file type converters to xls document (i will not put link here). Converter says that I have wrong file format.
    Also I tried to open file in some other programs. No luck.
    That's all.
    File Work.numbers has been closed correctly and was no errors. Unfortunately, we have no any backup copy of this file anywhere. I know, this is stupid, but question now: How can I repair this document? Is any repair tools for iWork files?
    The file seems like has right structure.

    Unzipping Index.zip is passing without errors. It has many "iwa" files with binnary content and I can't get data from it. But, data in that file is very important for one person.
    Could anybody help me to resolve my problem to restore Numbers document?

    Hi rabg,
    I am using OS X 10.8 on a Mac. This may be different if you are using iOS.
    Does Numbers'09 still exist in your Applications folder? Maybe inside a new folder? Perhaps you could use Numbers'09 to open your documents.

    What is it you are trying to do???
    The browser open files with their defaults programs, because they make use of the header values such as content-type. it seems that you are using DOM to archieve that, how do you expect that to work??
    Something is not right.

  • Maximum number of open files..

    I'm looking for some help...probably a consultant to give us a call.
    I need to know the following:
    For 2.6 and 7, number of open files per process default and maximum setting.
    Procedure to change the default setting to the maximum
    Amont of RAM required to handle the max setting.
    Risks inherent in setting this parameter to the max.
    Any info on test environments where max setting has been utilized (e.g. datase TPC benchmarks, etc..)
    Feel free to call 408.861.1103 - happy to pay for the advice.

    Hi!
    The maximum number of file descriptors per process is set by two parameters:
    rlim_fd_cur (soft limit, defaults to 64)
    rlim_fd_max (hard limit, defaults to 1024)
    Processes may raise their soft limit up to the hard limit using setrlimit(2).
    Setting rlim_fd_cur high is not a problem as the file desciptors are allocated in chunks of 24 as required, and so not all in one go. They don't actually require that much memory either.
    As administrator you may set the limits by adding an entry to /etc/system, eg:
    set rlim_fd_max=600
    and rebooting.
    Note however on 32 bit solaris, the significant limitation is that the stdio library FILE structure limits your process to 256 fds. This is increased to 65536 for 64bit programs on solaris 7.
    Select(3c) can use up to 65536 fds (#define FD_SETSIZE 65536 in your code for 32bit solaris 7).
    Hope that helps.

  • I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Help please

    I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

    In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible.  To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files  Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an applicaiton.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate

  • 1.5.1 Opening File in PlsqlNode incorrectly displays a default connection

    SQL Developer 1.5.1.54.40, JDK 1.6.0_04, Win XP SP 2
    I have just noticed that opening a file as a PlsqlNode (based on file type preferences) displays a default connection (the connection for the current tab). However, when compiling, you are prompted to select which connection you want to run against - ie there is no connection associated with the editor. This happens regardless of how you open the file (File > Open, Open toolbar button, Ctrl-O, double click in Files navigator).
    This does not happen for SQL Script file types, where no connection is displayed on opening them.

    i think what he want is to change the Win + E shortcut to This PC.
    I understand that is the goal. I've tried the registry hack, it works, but I found it left fragments of other files from "Home' scatter around in there too. We all been using this new version of windows for a few weeks now, built up a list of stuff
    we have looked at, and that is why I said it's not the prettiest solution. It might have been okay if it was done just after a fresh install. In my alternative solution, you are bringing the This PC icon out to a more accessible place so you
    don't have to use the File Explorer icon to get at the volumes i.e. hard drive view.
    Personally, when I launch the File Explorer, I am expecting to be looking for something straight away on my hard drives and not be presented with a list of stuff that I have already looked at. That kind of thing should be left
    in a Recent Folder sort of thing we use to see in the older versions of windows.

  • Opening file in editor - Mac Newbe.

    I think I've got Apache/PHP setup.  I tried to open the httpd.conf file in textedit but couldn't see the file under /etc/apache2 folder.  Brushed off my vi and editted that way.
    So my question is:  I'm using UltraEdit as my text editor and need to be able to access various directories.  Finder is no help because is hides directory.  Using TextEdit I created a test php file and when I tried to save to /library/webserver I can't see it.  I use Terminal to locate the directories but I cannot see them in Finder.   AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
    How do I find the files, write to the directory?????
    I'm used to Ubuntu command line interface where you simply issue 'sudo <name of editor> filename.  Can you do this on a Mac.

    Permanently unhide the directory with this command:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    To show all hidden files, run this:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1
    to rehide them:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0

  • When I try to open an image by double clicking on it in Bridge, I get a message telling me to log in to Creative Cloud.  I am running CS6, and the default should be to open files in Photoshop 6 or in Adobe Raw (if it's a Raw file).  I don't want to log in

    When I try to open an image by double clicking on it in Bridge, I get a message telling me to log in to Creative Cloud.  I am running CS6, and the default should be to open files in Photoshop 6 or in Adobe Raw (if it's a Raw file).  I don't want to log into CC since I am not a subscriber, and this means that I have to work around, and go  back to Bridge, and tell it to open the file in Adobe RAW.  However, this does not work for older psd files which for some reason cannot be opened in RAW.  How do I return to the process of simply allowing RAW files to open automatically in Adobe RAW, and simply right clicking on the image in Bridge to bring up the option of opening it in Photoshop?
