I've created my own application in VB.NET that saves its documents into a file with it's own custom extension (.eds). Assuming that I've properly associated the file extension with my application, how do I actually handle the processing of the selected file within my application when I double click on the file in File Explorer? Do I g...

I used to think that most pages would be .htm or .html, but in looking around the net, I am noticing that there really isn't any "standard". I don't really think I hav...
I just (re-)joined a company to work on some C++ projects. I'm looking at the files and I'm trying to figure out what all the Visual Studio related files are. Many I suspect are orphans from previous versions of the IDE. I've listed all the file extensions below and annotated the ones I think I understand. If can provide more informatio...
The madness of file extensions and MIME types and creator codes and magic numbers to determine file types is a huge mess. Coming from a background of Cocoa programming, I supposed I'm spoiled: in Tiger, OS X added a system called Uniform Type Identifiers (UTIs) that makes the entire process sane. Given that I'm doing a bunch of web deve...
I made a program. I also made my own file type, which the program can create, open, and edit. In Explorer, I right clicked on this new file type and selected "Open With" and chose my program. Of course, it just opens the program without loading the file. How do I let my program know that it's being requested to open a file on startup...

Alright here's the deal, I'm taking an intro to c++ class at my university and am having trouble figuring out how to change the extension of a file. First, what we are suppose to do is read in a .txt file and count words, sentences, vowels etc. Well I got this but the next step is what's troubling me. We are then suppose to create a new ...

How do you write or read to external files with custom extensions (like, instead of a .txt extension it could have .cyc for example) using VBscript? I don't know how, and cannot seem to figure it out. For reading a file, is it possible to only read part of a file? For example, if I have a line string1=Hello World! inside of my file, ...

How can I add fi...
