Opening a file in the editor
IntelliJ IDEA helps opening a file for editing so that the caret rests at the specified line.
- In the command line, type the following:
where:
<IntelliJ IDEA> <path1> --line <number> <path2>-
<IntelliJ IDEA>is the platform-specific product launcher -
<path1>is the path to the project that contains the desired file -
<number>is the number of the line, where the caret should rest -
<path2>is the path to the file to be opened
-
