Scripts for calling Internet Explorer,Explorer,Word,Access,Excel from Cygwin

[zzapper <david at tvis dot co dot uk>]

Hi
With help from this NG have created the following scripts, I think
they are very useful especially wexp. (Paths to various apps on your
PC may vary of course). Excepting wexp all require a filename as
parameter eg > wmdb test.mdb

 wexp  : Launch Windows Explorer with correct "Windows" path
 wint  : Launch Internet Explorer with correct "Windows" path
 wop   : Launch Opera with correct "Windows" path
 wpdf  : Launch Acrobat Reader with correct "Windows" path
 wxls  : Launch Excel with correct "Windows" path
 wdoc  : Launch Word with correct "Windows" path
 wmdb  : Launch Access with correct "Windows" path 


#!/bin/sh
# wexp
# description : Launch Windows Explorer with correct "Windows" path
XPATH="$(cygpath -w "${PWD}")";
echo $XPATH
explorer $XPATH

#!/bin/sh
# wint
# description : Launch Internet Explorer with correct "Windows" path
XPATH="$(cygpath -w "${PWD}/$1")";
echo $XPATH
c:/program\ files/internet\ explorer/iexplore.exe $XPATH &

#!/bin/sh
# wopera
# description : Launch Opera with correct "Windows" path
XPATH="$(cygpath -w "${PWD}")";
echo $XPATH
c:/program\ files/Opera75/opera.exe  $XPATH/$1 &

#!/bin/sh
# wpdf
# description : Launch Acrobat Reader with correct "Windows" path
XPATH=`cygpath -w "${1}"`;
echo $XPATH
C:/Program\ Files/Adobe/Acrobat\ 6.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe $XPATH &

#!/bin/sh
# wxls
# description : Launch Excel with correct "Windows" path
XPATH="$(cygpath -w "${1}")";
echo $XPATH
c:/program\ files/Microsoft\ Office/Office10/EXCEL.EXE $XPATH &

#!/bin/sh
# wdoc
# description : Launch Word with correct "Windows" path
XPATH="$(cygpath -w "${1}")";
echo $XPATH
c:/program\ files/Microsoft\ Office/Office10/winword.exe $XPATH &

#!/bin/sh
# wmdb
# description : Launch Access with correct "Windows" path
XPATH="$(cygpath -w "${1}")";
echo $XPATH
c:/program\ files/Microsoft\ Office/Office10/MSACCESS.EXE $XPATH
