[solved] allow user to select files to manipulate

[gin]

Hi

How do I let the user select files to manipulate? Eg macro waits for me to select 3 files that will then get resized. Thanks.

Function OpenSaveDialog.

[gin]

Thank you.
edit: Hwndowner - I can't find this in the help menu. How do I use this?

ps. I'm trying to select multiple files from the file explorer directly without opening additional dialog boxes, if possible.

[gin]

I tried opensavedialog. but it's not what I intended.

I'm trying to select multiple files inside windows explorer like this...

   

and then I need to get the filename + extension for each of the selected files.

New problem,

I can't join some strings with the array that you gave.

I tried this

str namestart = "<img style=[[border-top-color:; border-bottom-color:; border-right-color:; border-left-color:[[ border=[[0[[ src="
str nameend = "[[>"

for i 0 a.len
out str namefull.from(namestart a[i] nameend)

I get this error - "missing ( after function name, or ; after statement."

note: I will replace the [[ later with " - it just wouldn't work otherwise with the " getting mixed up.

Thanks. It works perfectly.

What is F?
How did you get ; to work differently than commenting?
