Does anybody know if there is a way to launch Dreamweaver from the terminal in the same manner textmate is launched by simply typing: mate file/path ?

thanks
 
You can use the standard open command (the mate thing is a special command installed by TextMate, it's not standard behaviour for most apps).

Code:
open -a DreamWeaver file/path

would open DreamWeaver assuming the application is actually called DreamWeaver.app (not Adobe DreamWeaver.app or whatever)...
 
thanks, so all i did was create an alias called 'dw' in my .bash_profile and can now call it up by saying: dw file/path

-thanks again

alias dw="open -a Dreamweaver\ 8"
