( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hi

The following works for me on a WinXP Pro box:
use Win32::Shortcut; use strict; use warnings; my $link = Win32::Shortcut->new(); $link->{'Path'} = 'C:\Documents and Settings\jim\My Documents\google_m +aps.txt'; $link->{'WorkingDirectory'} = 'C:\Documents and Settings\jim\My Docume +nts'; $link->{'ShowCmd'} = SW_SHOWNORMAL; $link->Save('C:/Documents and Settings/jim/Desktop/google_maps.lnk'); $link->Close();
I created two links on my desktop, one the "normal" way, one with the script. They are of different sizes:

C:\Documents and Settings\jim\Desktop>dir *.lnk Volume in drive C is mecano Volume Serial Number is 84B7-29B9 Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\jim\Desktop 07.26.05 12:35 PM 648 google_maps.lnk 07.26.05 12:24 PM 594 Shortcut to Google_maps.txt.lnk
but seem the same on visual inspection. Both open the text file correctly without an additional prompt.

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