Change path

[Masen]

ok im trying to write a script to change a path from default path to what the user would wanna change it to.

so this is the default path :  |||   "C:\Users\masen\Desktop\Database"  |||

and if they go into the admin page on the program. and decide to change the path there to let says

 "C:\Users\masen\Desktop\HOME"

considering the User does not know how to write script.

so this would be more of an option for the user on the admin page.

were would i begin to get this script going.

thx in advance

Func Folders()
     $message = ("Click Shift to Select Multiple files.")
    $var = FileOpenDialog($message, "C:\Users\masen\Desktop\Database" & "\", "Pictures (*.jpg; *.bmp; *.png; *.gif)|Videos (*.avi; *.mpg)|Txt (*.txt)", $FD_FILEMUSTEXIST + $FD_MULTISELECT)
    $file = FileRead($var)
    If @error Then
        Else
    endif

        MsgBox(0, "", "No File(s) were selected")
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Masen,

I notice all your threads are entitled "Need help" or something pretty close. Everyone who posts here needs help - it goes without saying - so could you please give more descriptive titles to your threads in future. Thanks for your cooperation in this.

If i got the problem right.. You can set a variable to default path in fileopendialog.

Set the variable with fileselectfolder for example

Local $sFileSelectFolder = FileSelectFolder('Title', "")
$var = FileOpenDialog('Title', $sFileSelectFolder & "\", "Txt (*.txt)")

If you use the $FD_MULTISELECT flag with FileOpenDialog, you have to split the returned string (using | as delimiter). See the helpfile, in the Return section :
