Open Safari from a Application

[satyam90]

Hi,

In my application I am providing a html file.
I am having a button in my dialog. On clicking that buton, i want to show the html file in Safari (or any other browser that is available). How to do this.

Regards,
Satyam.

If it's a help file, don't forget that OS X provides a standard framework for dealing with those. Otherwise, you could use something like the following, which will open a resource file using the default application for that file type:

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: @"yourfile" ofType: @"html"];
BOOL success = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openFile: path];

You could use an Applescript to open Safari and then display the file in question.

Other options include using fork and exec.

Using 'system'

Using NSTask.
