display file name

#1 · January 21, 2023, 1:31 pm

I want to load a text file with

LocalFileToVar "FileInput1" [myvar]

And I want the name of that file to be displayed in a text input object:

id=TextName

How do I do that?

Thanks

(P.S. [myvar] gives me the entire contents of the selected file, but I only want the file name)

I tried to post the entire pub file in a code insert but got blocked with this error message:

I found it, the variable is

property-name (of FileInput1)

But it displays the file name within brackets.

Here is the entire pub file, it might be useful for your projets:

But it displays the file name within brackets.

@fkapnist it's because it's an Array with just one element.
