Finding Files In The Windows Filesystem

[kesin]

I'm in the process of writing a script to simplify use of a command line utility. As parameters the utility requires that the user pass in file names and locations. What I was wondering is if anyone has a method of using something similar to the browse frature on instilation programs that will allow the user to use a GUI to browse through the file system to the files that they are looking for. I'd rather not have to reinvent the wheel as it were to accomplish this.

Forgive me if how to do this already exists in the forums somewhere in the forums but i have been unable to find anything. Any help you guys could provide would be much appreciated.

If I am understanding correctly you need something like FileOpenDialog

Interesting Scruits, I may end up using them in some future endavors, but not quite what I am looking for right now. What I am looking to do is create buttons that perform the same function as the browse button in the script compiler.

It looks like that's precisely what i was looking for.

Thanks Much

Here is a rough example

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$Form1 = GUICreate("AForm1", 328, 173, 192, 125)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 32, 56, 169, 21)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Browse", 224, 56, 57, 25, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case $msg = $Button1
        $select = FileOpenDialog( "Select File", "c:\" , "All(*.*)")
        ControlSetText( "", "", $Input1, $select)
    Case Else
    ;;;;;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd
