Display a GUI dialog to get a filenam

["Steffen Barembruch" <steffen@barembruch.de>]

Hello!

 

Within my S-Plus scripts I want to show a GUI dialog which enables me to browse through the folders in Windows to select a file. But different from guiExecuteBuiltIn("$$Standard$Open$") which almost does what I want, I do not want to actually open the file, I just want to return the filename, including the pathname.

 

As a further explanation: The scripts are to be run by several users, which have to specify a file which has to be imported. I dont wan to show the FileImport dialog for that purpose, because it is to complicated. I know exactly what the file looks like, thats why it is a lot easier to import it after knowing the filename with ImportData and specified options. Furthermore I need the pathname to export some results into that folder.

 

Thanks a lot
