winopen (MATLAB Functions)

Open file in appropriate application (Windows only)

Syntax

```
winopen('filename')
```

Description

winopen('filename') opens filename in the appropriate Microsoft Windows application. The winopen function uses the appropriate Windows shell command, and performs the same action as if you double-click the file in the Windows Explorer. If filename is not in the current directory, specify the absolute path for filename.

Examples

Open the file thesis.doc, located in the current directory, in Microsoft Word:

```
winopen('thesis.doc')
```

Open myresults.html in your system's default Web browser:

```
winopen('D:/myfiles/myresults.html')
```
