Multiple File Selection with FileOpenDialog

[michaelslamet]

Let say a user choose multiple file with FileOpenDialog. How to code to process these chosen files with While or For to do looping?

$var = FileOpenDialog($message, @WindowsDir & "\", "Text (*.txt)", 1 + 4 )

I understand the $var will contain foldername and list of selected files separated with |

How to code this logic in autoit:

for first-file until last-file

blblbla

endfor

or

while

read first file

read second file

until there is no more chosen file

Thanks a lot!!

Michael.

Here's a modified help file example

; Multiple filter group
$message = "Hold down Ctrl or Shift to choose multiple files."

$var = FileOpenDialog($message, @WindowsDir & "", "Images (*.jpg;*.bmp)|Videos (*.avi;*.mpg)", 1 + 4 )

If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096,"","No File(s) chosen")
Else
    $var = StringSplit($var, "|")
    For $i = 2 To $var[0]
        MsgBox(4096,"","You chose " & $var[$i])
    Next
EndIf
