fileopen absolte path

 

hi,

I need to open a file using its absolute path: C:\file.txt

fileopen does not allow that. is there a way to use absolute paths?

regards, Chris

 
if you are using NTFS you can put symlinks to your files or even entire folders into the files folder. Otherwise you have to use the windows API to escape this jail.
 

Is there an existing solution for that? I don't know how to work with the API.

thx

Yes.


Just do a google search or search the codebase here and you will find some solutions.
