Title

open2 — Open files, directories, or execute commands across platforms

Syntax

open2 [anything] [using/] [, cd]

Description

open2 is a versatile command that opens files, directories, or executes system commands. It automatically detects the operating system (Windows, macOS, or others) and applies the appropriate logic to handle the request.

Options

cd
Opens the current working directory in the system's file explorer.

Remarks

If no using or cd is specified, open2 will attempt to execute the given command or open the specified file/application directly.

The command determines the operating system using Stata's c(os) macro and applies platform-specific behavior.

Examples

Open a file or application (Windows):

. open2 using "C:\path\to\yourfile.txt"

Change directory and open it in file explorer:

. open2 , cd

Execute a command (e.g., open an application):
