Syntax for opening newly created files?

[Megalith]

Sorry, this is probably obvious, but what syntax should I add to a script so a file is not only created but immediately opened?

[highend]

open / openwith / run?

[Megalith]

Yeah, but I can't figure out how to integrate the open command with, say, new("info.txt");.

[highend]

Code: Select all

open new("info.txt", "file"), "w";

[Megalith]

Oh, duh, so it was just a matter of adding "open" at the beginning. I played around with it and

Code: Select all

open new("info.txt");

seems to work fine; what does "file" and "w" do in your version?

[highend]

"file" is the default for type in new() so it's not a necessity but I'm used to it (auto completion in my editor)
"w" = Use Window's associated application instead of preferring XY's PFA (and I use a script for all my PFAs...)
