Hello,

I know that this is not really the appropriate forum for kixforms help but at work i cannot access kixform's forums. Seeing that Shawn might be able to help me out here and quite a few people seem to be interested in kixforms on this forum my question is as follows.

I have an almost fully developed application thanks to kixforms (couldn't have done it without it) and now users are asking for a dialog box where they can enter some text.

Basic function My program does is it opens a form and allows users to run exe files those exe files each work with two other files source and destination. the source, users are able to select thru a dialog box. and my program changes the extention by removing the last three chars from string and adding new extention to the same file name in the same directory for output. (no fancy code it looks terrible but works).

Now the users are asking for ther eot be a way to input the destination file name so that they can name it at creation rather than having to rename it all the time.

The easiest way i can think of is to remove the last section of the filepath and use a string entered by the user in a popup textbox to provide the name for the destination file.

currently i was using an array to contain the file path split at / and then to search for the . in the filename and add all previous pieces add the text obtained from user and add the extention to the string for the destination file.


Any sugesstions.. i can post my code if this is the idea that anyone would like to help me with but i am sure there are easier and better ideas for this kind of a problem.

Thanks
