sum1 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I have a variable $filename which is given by the user via a input box. I then open explorer to my desired path But am unsure how i would go about navigating to the file (highlight) in a efficient way. Any ideas or examples would be great.

sum1 Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 (edited) well the program i am writing performs a few things to the user inputed file which are all accessable via alt+f in explorer. One of the programs can be controlled similar to Run('c:\windows\explorer.exe /e,/select,"' & $filename & '"') but the other cannot so i decided to do it this way once in the program some other information gathered from the user is given to the program like file path etc. i'm sure what i'm doing is far from the best way but i am new to autoit and think this will complete my overall goal the quick and dirty way so to speak but ideas are always welcome Edited November 14, 2006 by sum1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
