Not sure what you mean. Can you describe more? Are you saying that you want to send the cursor to the end of a list in a file and then want to copy the last word (which is the file name that you won't know) into a variable?

This did not work for me. I got 0 in message box. When I checked the control ID for the explorer window, it shows 0. The class is   DirectUIHWND with instance 3

dilipped,

lasfirst post in this thread dates from over 9 years ago and that the OP has not been online since then?

Please do not necro-post like this again - just open a new thread and link to the old one if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the problem. We ask you to do this for two main reasons:

 

- 1. The language advances and the functionality might well be included in core or UDF code by now

- 2. The changes in language syntax mean that it is likely that code from more than a couple of years ago may well not run under the current release interpreter without significant modification.

Thread locked.
