Utility Functions
Arguments
prompt An optional quoted string. If provided, that string appears at the top of the Open window.
initial directory An optional quoted string that is a valid filepath to a folder. If provided, it
specifies where the Open window begins. If not provided, or if it’s an empty string, the JMP Default
Directory is used.
filter list An optional list of quoted strings that define the filetypes to show in the Open window.
See the following example for syntax.
first filter An optional integer that specifies which of the filters in the filter list to use initially. If
you use an integer that is too large or small for the list (for example, 4 for a list of 3), the first filter in
the list is used.
save flag An optional Boolean that specifies whether the Open window or Save window is used. 0
lets the user select a file to open in JMP. 1 lets the user save a new, empty file of the selected type in the
selected folder. The default value is 0.
default file The name of the file that appears in the window by default.
multiple An optional argument that lets the user select multiple files if the save flag is 0.
Note
Although all arguments are optional, they are also positional. For example, you cannot specify a filter list
without also specifying the caption and the initial directory.
Example
The following script assigns Select JMP File as the window title; shows the Documents directory; shows
JMP Files and All Files in the File name list and selects JMP Files; displays the Open window; and shows
the file name Earthquakes.jmp.
Pick File("Select JMP File", "$DOCUMENTS", {"JMP Files|jmp;jsl;jrn", "All
Files|*"}, 1, 0, "Earthquakes.jmp")
