What kind of language is this and where to get more help about it?
I know for sure it is Windows related.
I am not sure if it is batch programming either.
I have --some-- files, 2 or 3, in my PC from very old times, when I played with God knows what. I managed to collect and make a small list of possible permissible scripts like in the example I provide. I actually had to --guess-- how to add a space to a filename that contains spaces in it to make it work. I spent probably 1 week of different permutations and in the end, I managed to find a way.

But it will be cool if I will actually get a help document, where more expressions can be written and used.

So practically, make any type of file you want, with any extension you want, insert this code and run it. In my case, I have some editors, like "metapad" that can automatically recognize a link in the text and by double clicking on it will execute the link.
Thank you!

What I have tried:

%20 = space
file:\\C:\a.txt
file://C:/a.txt
file:///C:/a%20a.txt
file:///D:\Programe\PrimNecesare\zElectronica\Proteus\Save\Display\7segmentDisplay\4033%20for%207%20segment%20display%20v2.pdsprj

It's not a programming language at all. It's just a list of filespecs in File URI format.

To me, it is not a programming language, it is like like a tagged datafile.
Since it can come from absolutely any program, help will be complicated to get as long as you don't know where it come from.

As mentioned above, this is not a specific coding language but rather a syntax used to define file paths and locations.

Looking at the last entry as a project, it refers to a project file used by Proteus. Proteus is commonly used for designing electronic circuits and creating simulations for microcontroller-based projects - PCB Design & Simulation[^]

Whether this might lead to a clue of an official language used somewhere in any of the files, no idea!
