open file location

| Hi there. I was wondering if it is possible to mimic the 'open file location' feature in Blitz, so that a file's folder is opened on the desktop, and the specific file 'selected' within the directory. I can already open the folder on the desktop with the ExecFile command and using explorer.exe, but I'm not sure how to have the specified file pre-selected. Any tips? Thanks. |

| I think there is definitely a FileRequest() function or something similar in blitzplus... |

| RequestFile() I think it is, where you can also specify the file extension(s) and starting directory, it's also possible to default an entire filename. | 
|

| Yeah - that would probably suffice. Thanks for the tip, Matty & PJ. |

| There is also a RequestDir() function which as the name suggests allows a folder/directory to be selected rather than a file.... |
