create list of files in folder, choose file and show choosen one

[suppi]

Hello,

I have got several txt-files in a folder. I list them with "List Folder".

Now I want to choose one of them and show it in a string indicator.

Unfortunately I dont know how to implement that. Can someone please help me with that ?

I found a way. Index the array with the file-name-strings with a numeric control. then build path with dup path of "List folder" a \  and the string. done.

But is there a way to do this with a listbox or table ?

Sure for a listbox just use the "item names" property to store and retrieve the filenames which will be a 1-D array and the value of the listbox to index the array then do the rest as you have already done.

For a table you'll need to index the 2-D array.

I've attached an example using the listbox.

thx a lot.

I will try it. Is there may be also a way to do that without an event-structure and maybe without the "Get Files"-Button ? I think it would be better if the files in the folder would be stored there automatically.

Here is the vi without the event structure or get files button. It will update the files in the listbox when the selected folder changes.
