I need to open a list of files in Visual Studio from command line, but in the same instance.

I used:

devenv.exe /Command Edit fileName

but this opens a new instance for every file. It is possible to edit the file in an already opened instance from command line?

Instead of using a list of

"devenv.exe file1" ... "devenv.exe fileN"

I used:

"devenv.exe file1 ... fileN"
