Opening an Excel directly in Sikuli

Asked by simran

I want to open an Excel workbook saved in my system directly instead of using App.open and then clicking File->Open and so on or by clicking the icon of that workbook. Is there any command/function that can be used where i can directly give path to my workbook and open it?

you might issue a Windows start command using run:
cmd = r'start ... appropriate parameters ...'
run(cmd)

parameters like paths must be enclosed in " if they contain blanks or other characters (rules of commandline apply)

It helps, to first evaluate on a commandline window, how the start command has to be written in your specific case.

Be aware of the special rules in Python about quoting in strings or use raw strings r'...' as used above.

this is done in the IDE:

cmd = r'start ... appropriate parameters ...'
run(cmd)

please follow my advice and at least try it out.

appropriate parameters include?

cmd=r'start <absolute path of workbook>'

is that correct?
