Create Combobox with variables

I want to create a combobox that will display a list of files to select from. I am using the separate command to create a list. Is this possible?

Thanks

If all of the files are in the same directory, you could use the Input> command which has a browse button.

If not in the same directory initially, then maybe you could first temporarily move them to the folder, choose from the combo box, then empty the folder and/or move them back to their original source.

I guess (s)he's talking about this: Getting a list of files, creating a combo (Dialog) based on that list/var ...

Unfortunately GetFileList> separates each item with an ";" while ComboBox expects an %CRLF% as its separator. Maybe this will do the conversion

GetFileList>c:\temp\*.*,files
Separate>files,;,file_names

Let>k=0
Repeat>k
Add>k,1
ConCat>CBItems, file_names_%k%%CRLF%
Until>k,file_names_count

Another option would be to create a HTML file from that list, to select a file via its link. And btw. --> VBScript
