PFA question

[tiago]

Is there a way to open a file if a certain word is found on its name, and the file extension is a predefined one, or even a group of extensions?

Example: open with WORDPAD instead of notepad IF 'history' is found on file name and its extension is .txt or .nfo.

If you have other PFA for text files, then put this code higher up in the PFA list:
"Textfile" history.*>::run "wordpad";

If you want only history.txt and history.nfo then use:
"Textfile" history.txt;history.nfo>::run "wordpad";

This seems to work:

Code: Select all

*history*.txt;*history*.nfo>C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe

It finds files with "history" anywhere in the file name. Do note that in quick testing I needed to provide a path to the executable; the above path may need editing.

Thank you, folks.
