"Executing" a File

  • Thread-topic: "Executing" a File
I want to be able to programmatically open or "execute" a random file.  For
example, if I open a .jpg, it would open in Preview.  If I open a .doc, it
would open in Word.  And so on.  Basically, just execute the default "open
action" for the file.

(Forgive me for this, but) in Windows code, I can just tell .NET to "open" a
file, and it will do the default action.  NSTask seems to need an
executable.  How do I find that executable?

Thanks.
