text files opening

[jritchie]

Jessie,

Not quite sure how you want to do the interface for your files. But have a look at the dir, filelist, etc controls. I use these in a number of projects where the user can select from mutiple files for data extraction, i.e SalesJan, SalesFeb,...Sales1999 etc. Am currently looking at replacing this with a combo list box from which the user can select a file

Hope it helps

I have a list of text files in a folder.What would be the easiest way to do a search for the file names. I saved them in a masked edit format (###)-###-#### then I would like to have the file name appear in a text box
from there i can figure out how to put the rest of the file in the other textboxes
the text files are saved in this format

(555)-555-5555
name
address

geez i keep forgetting thxs
