Subject: Open file at point with external program
Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 08:06:30 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8cf09a85-9442-42b2-9f79-aac7789c6304@i10g2000yqh.googlegroups.com> (raw)

Hi,

suppose I use emacs to edit a file which contains a path to a file,
e.g. /path/to/file/file.pdf, suppose point is at the string /path/to/
file/file.pdf, is it possible to open file.pdf with a single command
using an *external* program (e.g. gnome-open)?

thanks,
michael
