Hi I was wondering if somebody could tell me how i could create my own extensions. for example: test.ext I want to create a .ext file and i program that can read it. Is that possible?
You should post more info: - Language: C, Java, PHP, PERL, ... - Operating system: Unix, HP-UX, Windows, ... - ...
for php or cgi: create a function for file reading. whatever extension you want, suppose: filename.flenix then create a function for file handling and read contents of file and interpret. or if you want a very simple solution, use Mod_Rewrite for apache servers. put whatever you want.
In Windows, associating a file extension has nothing to do with the application itself, really, and everything to do with Windows. Generally you register the extensions during installation (most installers support this one way or another). Your application generally has to be able to accept a 'command line' parameter of some sort that indicates the file that was clicked on. I'd read up on 'registering file types in Windows'. Sorry I can't be any more specific: I haven't done this in a while...
