Hi, I am trying to open a group of folders in citect SCADA and they are all .rtf files

This is so I can view the file names already used in the folder.

I have tried using the Exec function by opening wordpad first and then the folder but this didnt work

Exec("C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe C:\Documents and Settings\operative\Desktop\Batch Reports\Report*.rtf")

The following opens wordpad but you still have to locate the specific folder

Exec("C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe")

Is there any way that I could view the folder and all the files contained ?
 
Exec just passes a command line, but doesn't set the directory. Wordpad won't open a command line document with a wildcard.

Knowing the document name (completely), you could just associate the .RTF extension with wordpad, and open the document.
 
The idea was to view all the file names in the folder not to open a specific file name.

Do you know of a way to view the files in a specific folder ?

Click to expand...

I dont see a cicode function to do what you want, but possibly a workaround would be to exec a batch file that does a 'dir ' and pipes it into a file. you could then open the text file and display it.
in your case the batch file would look like

dir "C:\Documents and Settings\operative\Desktop\Batch Reports\Report*.rtf" > C:\listing.txt
 
If you just want to open a folder use:

Exec("C:\Windows\explorer.exe C:\Documents and Settings\operative\Desktop\Batch Reports\",1)
 
Thanks, tragically

Thats all I required a simple button to view the files in the folder, didn't think of explorer.

Thanks again
