( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hello monks, I am working on Windows, and have associated .plx as direct run perl script. It means, when I double click on a .plx file, Windows will invoke the perl interpreter to run the script file. Now I wonder if I can drag drop another dir/file/shortcut to the .plx file, and the .plx file could somehow retrieve the file path as argument.

I actually have a workable solution, which is to create a .bat file as the argument taking interface, and then forward to the script via %1 %2... But I'd like to see if this can be more straight forward (ie. directly drop on the .plx file). Thank you very much for any clues.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
