Syntax for opening newly created files?

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

open / openwith / run?

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

Code: Select all
open new("info.txt", "file"), "w";

Oh, duh, so it was just a matter of adding "open" at the beginning. I played around with it and
seems to work fine; what does "file" and "w" do in your version?

"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...)
