Fileopen into a variable?

[Glyph]

if $msg = $loadmenu Then $file = FileOpenDialog("Choose file...",@ProgramFilesDir,"All (*.*)")
            
            _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText ($listview, 2, 1, $file)

How would i get the file opened into a variable?

i've looked up a few commands but they dont relate to my trouble...

they only open the atual program.. i want it in a variable...

Uh...what?

$file = FileOpenDialog('', @ScriptDir, 'All Files (*.*)')

MsgBox(0, '', $file)

if $msg = $loadmenu Then 
            $file = FileOpenDialog("Choose file...",@ProgramFilesDir,"All (*.*)")
            _GUICtrlListViewSetItemText ($listview, 2, 1, $file)
            EndIf

The $file variable contains only the file name (with the path attached).

I suppose that you want the file CONTENT to be stored into a variable. In this case you might want to use _FileReadToArray (included in File.au3 UDF) - that will read the content of your file into an array and you can manipulate that information any way you want.

This is only a supposition ... if it is not true - try to explain better what do you want to do.

Ok what i want is the file that was opened eg: "c:\test.exe" to be updartes in my list view after they click open

Still not clear enough

What is supposed to do your Test.exe?

You mean something like this?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GUIListView.au3>

GUICreate('Some GUI', 300, 200)

$btn = GUICtrlCreateButton('Add File', 10, 10, 60, 26)

$lv = GUICtrlCreateListView('Files', 10, 46, 280, 144, -1, $LVS_EX_GRIDLINES)
_GUICtrlListViewSetColumnWidth($lv, 0, 276)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $btn
            $file = FileOpenDialog('Select a file', 'c:\', 'All Files (*.*)')
            If Not @error Then _GUICtrlListViewInsertItem($lv, 0, $file) ; edit - change 0 to -1 to append
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd
