Title Body

I have a utility (grep) that gives me a list of filenames and a line numbers. After I have determined that devenv is the correct program to open a file, I would like to ensure that it is opened at the indicated line number. In emacs, this would be: emacs +140 filename.c I have found nothing like this for Visual Studio (devenv). The closest I have found is: devenv /Command "Edit.Goto 140" filename.c However, this makes a separate instance of devenv for each such file. I would rather have something that uses an existing instance. These variations re-use an existing devenv, but don't go to the indicated line: devenv /Command "Edit.Goto 140" /Edit filename.c devenv /Command /Edit filename.c "Edit.Goto 140" I thought that using multiple "/Command" arguments might do it, but I probably don't have the right one because I either get errors or no response at all (other than opening an empty devenv). I could write a special macro for devenv, but I would like this utility to be used by others that don't have that macro. And I'm not clear on how to invoke that macro with the "/Command" option. Any ideas? Well, it doesn't appear that there is a way to do this as I wanted. Since it looks like I'll need to have dedicated code to start up Visual Studio, I've decided to use EnvDTE as shown below. Hopefully this will help somebody else. #include "stdafx.h" //----------------------------------------------------------------------- // This code is blatently stolen from http://benbuck.com/archives/13 // // This is from the blog of somebody called "BenBuck" for which there // seems to be no information. //----------------------------------------------------------------------- // import EnvDTE #pragma warning(disable : 4278) #pragma warning(disable : 4146) #import "libid:80cc9f66-e7d8-4ddd-85b
