[Display Error]

Hello,
I’d like select some text which is a file path e.g.
C:\temp\file.txt
and run a macro to open that file path in EmEditor (I can then assign that macro to the context menu).

I tried to record a macro; it copies the highlighted text but obviously stops recording at the Open Dialog.
I also tried the following code, but I clearly don’t know what I’m doing!

document.selection.Copy(eeCopyUnicode);
editor.OpenFile(eeCopyUnicode);

Thank you for any help!

If you would like to open the selected path, you can write a macro like this:

editor.OpenFile( document.selection.Text, 0, eeOpenAllowNewWindow );

Please see: http://www.emeditor.org/en/macro_editor_editor_openfile.html

I seee! So there’s no need to copy the text to clipboard, just use the actual selected text! The macro documentation makes more sense to me now :)
Thanks a lot Yutaka, that works perfectly :)
