directory listing
|
I checked the help files in and out and can't seem to find a #COMMAND that gives you a directory listing.
Currently I am using #PICK to show a list of selected files, but that can turn out to be HUGE and eventually I would have to use multiple #PICKs depending on the amount of files I would be using.
Did I miss a #COMMAND somewhere? or is there a way I could call a windows thread or CMD directory and return it to zMUD? Not sure if #DDE would help as I am not sure if there are any windows 'programs' that I could use that with.
Basically I am looking for a %function or #COMMAND that will allow me to return a file name from a directory list.

Doesn't exist. You could try using JScript, VBScript or COM to do this - I'm not sure how you'd go about it, but I assume it's possible.

If you're using XP or Vista then probably something like this.
| Code: |
#VAR DLG %comcreate("UserAccounts.CommonDialog")
Dlg.InitialDir = "C:\SomeValidDirectory"
#VAR FileName {}
#IF (@Dlg.ShowOpen()) {#VAR FileName @Dlg.FileName}
#NO do something with FileName here |
EDIT: not sure if that works on Vista, I tried a JScript equivalent on XP. |

Awesome, that's exactly what I am looking for. Is there anyway to put in a filetype, like *.txt, or *.exe with that?

I guess something like
| Code: |
...
Dlg.InitialDir = "C:\SomeValidDirectory"
Dlg.Filter = "Text Files|*.txt|All Files|*.*"
...
|
Entries in .Filter are
-A text description for you to read when dialog will pop up (Text Files).
-The pipe separator (|)
-The actual filter itself (*.txt)
Add as many file types to the filter as you want |
