FTYPE
Displays or modifies file types used in file extension
associations
FTYPE [fileType[=[openCommandString]]]
fileType Specifies the file type to examine or change
openCommandString Specifies the open command to use when
launching files
of this type.
Type FTYPE without parameters to display the current file
types that
have open command strings defined. FTYPE is invoked with
just a file
type, it displays the current open command string for that
file type.
Specify nothing for the open command string and the FTYPE
command will
delete the open command string for the file type. Within an
open
command string %0 or %1 are substituted with the file name
being
launched through the assocation. %* gets all the parameters
and %2
gets the 1st parameter, %3 the second, etc. %~n gets all the
remaining
parameters starting with the nth parameter, where n may be
between 2 and 9,
inclusive. For example:
ASSOC .pl=PerlScript
FTYPE PerlScript=perl.exe %1 %*
would allow you to invoke a Perl script as follows:
script.pl 1 2 3
If you want to eliminate the need to type the extensions,
then do the
following:
set PATHEXT=.pl;%PATHEXT%
and the script could be invoked as follows:
script 1 2 3
