Path Chose manually with a File Browser

[Ginyu1135 Participant Topics: 1 Replies: 0 Points: 11Rank: Member]

Hello,

I’m new here and I’m trying something with Powershell:

Instead of writing my $Path I’d like to create a $Path where I could search manually a folder using the file browser,

When launching my script I would search the location and the script would proceed instead of modifying the path each time,

Regards,

Welcome to the forum.  Here’s a basic example.

PowerShell

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms $fileBrowser = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog $fileBrowser.ShowDialog() | Out-Null $path = $fileBrowser.FileName Write-Output $path

1 2 3 4 5

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms $fileBrowser = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog $fileBrowser.ShowDialog() | Out-Null $path = $fileBrowser.FileName Write-Output $path

The OpenFileDialog class several options, so check the Microsoft documentation for more details such as using multi-select and setting an initial directory.
