hi again....
thanx to pranavn , hes showed me how to display my drive path and
contents in a field..
however he metioned that as Filextra displays the files as list i would
have to iterate thorugh them.
i am a very new beginner and wondered exactly What is ITERATION
and how could i do this to make just the filenames appear in my field
instead of the full path names...
ie. im trying to make aplaylist....so u choose the folder and it reads
in the directory contents....
this all works now but is messy
heres the code..
on mouseUp me
gaddress = member("tmpfield").text
gstate = "fxObj.fx_FolderToList("
gend = ")"
fxObj = xtra("FileXtra3").new()
gFolder = fxObj.fx_FolderSelectDialog("Choose a folder:")
put fxObj.fx_FolderToList(gFolder)
vFilesList = fxObj.fx_FolderToList(gFolder)
member("dirbox").text = string(vFilesList)
fxObj = 0
thankyou for your help
jon

Subject: <lingo-l> <LINGO> FileXtra....in NEARLY SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, gang...
some of u were nice enough to help me yeterday try to use filextra for
the first time....
i went home and had a play around and was delighted to find i was doing
ok with certain aspectsss..
however, im getting a little stuck on something....
i set my self a little task to help learn some functions.
I thought i would try and get a particular folder using:
fx_FolderSelectDialog
then upon that get the directory list using:
fx_FolderToList
i found that i mangaged to get that working exept i was unsure how to
call my line
this is what ive got
gaddress = member("tmpfield").text
gstate = "fxObj.fx_FolderToList("
gend = ")"
fxObj = xtra("FileXtra3").new()
put fxObj.fx_FolderSelectDialog("Choose a folder:") into field
("tmpfield")
-- "C:\My Documents\Music\"
put fxObj.fx_FolderToList && gstart && gaddress && gend
fxObj = 0
please can someone help....im a struggling lingo'ist who wants TO LEARN
MORE !!!!!
thanx people
jon
