Jim, How? ... Very simple! Using The Glorious R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5++) for Windows, Inline Patch-3, Build:1.855xRT03 (currently under beta testing): Scenario A: To display all files in the current directory in a pop-up list, including files with long file names with long extensions. The chosen file name is stored in the variable v1. CLS SET RBGSIZE CENTER CENTER 800 600 SET CAPTION ' ' SET VAR v1 TEXT = NULL CHOOSE v1 FROM #LFILES AT 10 30 TITLE 'Select File' CAPTION 'Check it out!' FORMATTED Will display all files in the current directory in a pop-up list. Scenario B: To display all files in the current directory in a pop-up list with HTML extension. R:BASE will display a pop-up list of all files in the specified directory with the .HTML extension. The chosen file name is stored in the variable v1. CLS SET RBGSIZE CENTER CENTER 800 600 SET CAPTION ' ' SET VAR v1 TEXT = NULL CHOOSE v1 FROM #LFILES IN *.HTML AT 10 30 TITLE 'Select File' CAPTION 'Check it out!' FORMATTED Scenario C: To test it further (just for fun), create a long file name with long extension and see what happens. At the mighty R> prompt: RBEdit LongFileName.LongExtension Type anything and then make sure to save the file. CLS SET RBGSIZE CENTER CENTER 800 600 SET CAPTION ' ' SET VAR v1 TEXT = NULL CHOOSE v1 FROM #LFILES AT 10 30 TITLE 'Select File' CAPTION 'Check it out!' FORMATTED Will display LongFileName.LongExtensions in a pop-up list.
