Syntax
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
below.
set PATHEXT=.pl;%PATHEXT%
and the script could be invoked as follows:
script 1 2 3
Examples
See above Microsoft examples in the syntax for good examples of
how this command can be used.
