Multiple Extensions in InputFile

[PeterH]

It's me again

In InputFile, is there a possibility to select 2 (or more) extensions? I'm looking for .xys *and* .txt and find no chance to specify both.

And (sorry - 2nd wish here) any chance for:
::load , Label
to run Script named Label from *current* Scriptfile? (Primitive way to include "Subroutines" or so...)
Could also be ::Run or ::Call or whatever.

I had planned this anyway.

There are two options now:

(1) have them all in one list (pattern = "*.txt;*.xys")
(2) have one list per pattern and switch between the lists via the Open Dialog's dropdown.

I guess (1) is more practical.

Nice idea. I give it a chance. Might be a bit hairy... (recursion lurks...) but is surely a practical thing. I called it ::sub.

@multiple extensions:
As it is now it's exactly as I wanted it - in this case
If maybe you could add each single of the extensions to be selectable by dropdown, then the user has the choice to select one or another. But as default I would keep the combined list! (If I list 3 extensions I normally want to see 3 extensions...)

@sub
So. You called it sub!
For a sub I miss parameters to supply to the sub, and even to return...



And IF, THEN, ELSE, DO, END, FOR, WHILE
Sorry - seems I understood something wrong

But to be serious again, ::sub works like a charme! Thanks for that!

That follow up was dead sure as hell. The programmer's reflexes are uncontrollable. I know, it's screaming for parameters and returns -- later. Now (in the next weeks) my job is to feed the current level of scripting to the masses. If they swallow, I will add more spice...

And here Don thought that he had written a file manger! It's now become a whole new language! XYS...the new Perl!

I could but... wasn't my slogan "keep it simple"?

...simple for you
...as I only would notice this extension if I look for it (by opening dropdown). That doesn't make it more complicated for me

But don't get me wrong: for me it's ok as it is now.
