Opening a program and loading a file into the program

Question

I am looking for a way to create a Powershell script that will allow me to open DB Browser for SQLite ("C:\Program Files\DB Browser for SQLite\DB Browser for SQLite.exe") and upon opening, load a file (C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\AirHauler2XP\Company\Atlas Airlines25045 PM.db) in order for me to edit. Any help would be great (if possible).

Answer 1

I would add it to the path one way or another.

$env:path += ';C:\Program Files\DB Browser for SQLite'
cd AppData\Roaming\AirHauler2XP\Company
sqlitebrowser '.\Atlas Airlines25045 PM.db'   # tab completion on the filename

Answer 2

Please see the documentation: https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser/wiki/Command-Line-Interface#examples

According to that, it should be:

"C:\Program Files\DB Browser for SQLite\sqlitebrowser" "C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\AirHauler2XP\Company\Atlas Airlines25045 PM.db"

Answer 3

@ChristianBaumann is OK, and it will work from command prompt. But for powershell this will fail. You need to use & to run it:

& "C:\Program Files\DB Browser for SQLite\sqlitebrowser.exe" "C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\AirHauler2XP\Company\Atlas Airlines25045 PM.db"
