title: How to open multiple files in a single action in Visual Studio
body: <p>I often use the "Command Window" in Visual Studio to quickly open a file by name, for instance by typing <code>open main.c</code>.</p>
  
  <p>However what doesn't seem to work is <code>open *.xyz</code>, the intent being to open any files in the solution with some extension <code>xyz</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a quick and easy way from the Command Window to open multiple files at once based on a pattern?</p>
