MACRO Language | open dialog for a single file

[Rainer M. Engel]

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I get no open-dialog
for a single file ..



//This brings up a dialog
dir = getDirectory("Open a Dir");

//This not, but it should?.. mmh.
file = File.openAsString("Open my File");



Regards,
Rainer

dear Rainer,
it should work like this:

filepath=File.openDialog("Select a File");

file=File.openAsString(filepath);
//you have to insert the path to the target in brackets in the File.OpenAsString

Hope it helps
Mario

Thanks Mario,

I simply was confused by the information on "File.openAsString"

> File.openAsString(path) - Opens a text file and returns the contents as a string. Displays a file open dialog box if path is an empty string. Use lines=split(str,"\n") to convert the string to an array of lines.

and overlooked the openDialog function beneath that ..

Thanks again.

Rainer
