Re: Printing rtf-files with openoffice windows xp

system launches a program. If the first argument is 1, the program is launched in the background (Windows only). Passing the parameters as seperate strings (as opposed to passing a single string to system) prevents injection attacks/bugs.

my $filename = 'test.rtf';
system(1, 'c:\\program files\\openoffice\\soffice\\swriter.exe', '-p',
+ $filename);

Just a small side note, `'c:\\program files\\openoffice\\soffice\\swriter.exe'` might be more nicely written as `'c:/program files/openoffice/soffice/swriter.exe'`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
