Browsing

[Achilles]

Hello... I want to be able to look for a folder instead of a file when I browse. I find it impossible to click on "OK" on a folder. I need it to do this because for a program I'm writing it needs to open a folder so that it can edit the files inside. (However, the files are always going to be changing (in name/ammount) so I can't just preset how to change them.) The program I have know can browse for a file and then once you select one it will show it in an input box. Then I tried adding on a part that would send backspace until it finds a \ (because it's going to be using 'run' and if you send delete until you hit a \ it will open a folder instead of a file).

Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you don't understand what I mean just say so and I'll try to edit to make it more clear or add some of the script.

Welcome to the forums!

It sounds like you're looking for FileSelectFolder.

Welcome to the forums!

It sounds like you're looking for FileSelectFolder.

Will that let me search for a folder though? From what I see FileSelectFolder just lets you open a specific folder. I need someway to open any folder.

Thanks, Piano_Man

Your question is a little vague... FileSelectFolder works similarly to FileOpenDialog in that it allows the user to browse to a folder at run-time.

When I first read this, it sounded like you wanted to use FileOpenDialog to select a file, then strip out the filename to get your folder path.

Please post the code you have so far.

Searching and Browsing are two different things, and I'm not sure which you're trying to accomplish.

Ok.. sorry if I was vague. The way I have it know it opens up a box that lets you browse through all you computer's hardrive so you can choose the file you want it to open. The way I want it is that I should be able to select the folder because that's what I want it to open when it sends the data in to 'run'. (If you have iTunes, click on file, "add folder to library" and that's what I'm looking for)

P.S. Thanks to YDY (Lazycat) for the stuff I have already... I learned some stuff off your "enumicons"

Any help would be appreciated once again, Piano_Man

Hey,

As Skruge said it sounds like FileSelectFolder is what your after.

$folderpath = FileSelectFolder("Choose a folder.", "")

im guessing you would replace your $sTmpFile var with that.

Cheers

Ok, that worked. Sorry, I'm still learning how to use this stuff. Thanks for the help Skruge and fu2m8,
