uff, thanks, Just switched over from Ubuntu to OS X (again) and thought I needed something special... $ open /path/to/file.xml works fine. thanks, -Rob On Aug 29, 2008, at 3:48 AM, Dan Caprioara wrote:

Hello,

You can use the "open" shell utility, like this:

open -a /Applications/oxygen/Oxygen.app /path/to/file.xml

To create an alias, use "open -e /Users/ your_user_name/.bash_profile" to start editing the .bash_profile file with TextEdit, and then add the line:

alias oxy='open -a /Applications/oxygen/Oxygen.app '

Make sure you preserve the space after the ".app". You must restart the Terminal application before trying it out.

Cheers, Dan

Hi,

I am looking for a simple way to open a file in a running oxygen app. have found that I can open a file in a running instance of oxygen like so:

$ /Applications/oxygen/Oxygen.app/Contents/MacOS/ JavaApplicationStub /path/to/file.xml

I tried to create a soft link the JavaApplicationStub in my home dir, but the system does not recognize it as a file. Is there some way I can alias the longish path so I can do something like (while in my home dir):

$ oxy /path/to/file.xml

Is there a better/easier way?

thanks for any tips, -Rob _______________________________________________ oXygen-user mailing list oXygen-user@oxygenxml.com http://www.oxygenxml.com/mailman/listinfo/oxygen-user
