opening a file in wordpad from CVI

[Anonymous]

I am using CVI to create a data file called abc.txt.

I would like to have a CVI button that would open this file in wordpad.

Any ideas?

Try:
LaunchExecutable("wordpad abc.txt");
or
system("wordpad abc.txt");

will help if you run into timing issues.

Good Luck
