Chaos Mixed 0 Posted October 24, 2006 Hi I am using autoitv3 on an XP pro machine I am trying to write scripts that opens an image file. I have tried FileOpen with no success Ive search though mile of documentation and forum and found nothing. I kind of a numb so please forgive the ignorance. FileOpen("C:\image.jpg",?) ;is the only thing i cna gather on how to do this. On that same note how do I open any file, with any path, with any extension? Thank you Chaos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmOke_N 210 Posted October 24, 2006 Newest Beta + ShellExecute or Run(@Comspec & ' /c "' & 'C:\image.jpg"', '', @SW_HIDE) Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...

Rad 0 Posted October 24, 2006 Are you looking for the FileOpenDialog(), its a menu that allows you to select it. If you are, then use it like so: FileOpenDialog("Title",@DesktopDir, "All (*.*)|JPG (*.jpg)|Bitmap (*.bmp)|GIF (*.gif)") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
