String out of fileBrowserDialog

[john_homer]

global proc thisProcDoesStuffWithTheLocation (string $dirPath, string $fileType)
{
print ("the path is " + $dirPath);
}


// create a fileBrowserDialog, and send the result to the proc thisProcDoesStuffWithTheLocation
global proc thisIsTheProcYouCall()
{
fileBrowserDialog -m 4 -fc SetSyflexCacheNames -ft "directory" -an "Pick the Location to save cache files";
}

Thanks John, but do you always have to use procedures to get the ""result"" out of an object?

[john_homer]

if you want a file name, not a folder you can use this...

string $theFile = `fileDialog -directoryMask "/usr/u/bozo/myFiles/*.mb"`;
print $theFile ;
