EDIT

Extension command

displays a file in the default windows text editor (notepad)

Arguments

file name (mandatory)

Examples

EDIT c:\temp\query*.sql;

Notes

Opens a file in Notepad: EDIT <fileName>. fileName is mandatory; without it the command reports an error instead of opening anything.

This shells out to notepad.exe - it is Windows-only and always uses Notepad specifically, regardless of what text editor is otherwise configured or set as the OS default. BroadSQL waits for Notepad to close before returning to the prompt.
