Selecting multiple files during run time from a list of files

[neerajp]

Hey 

I have text files in a folder and I am looking to list out all the files in the folder and then manually select a few files out of it ( while the program is running) and average the data in the selected file alone. Using list folder, I could get the file list. But since the file list is in array of string format , I can't do any selection. I also tried combo box. It can select only one file at a time. Is there any other way ?

Many Thanks

Neeraj

Load the names as string into a listbox and configure it for multiple selections. The value will be an array of indices that you can use the get the subset of files you want.

Use ctrl-click to select individual files.

Use a listbox (& set the selection mode), or use a file dialog set to allow multiple selection.

Hey ,

Thanks for the reply. I loaded the string into listbox and configured it to multiple selection. But how to retrieve the value of the indices that is selected in the list box?

As I said, the "value" of the listbox is an array of indices. Just autoindex it on a for loop containing an "index array" to get the elements of your array of paths.
