Open Text File with Non-Standard Extension

robot — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 17:30:23 GMT

Is there an easy way for JSL to open a text file with a non-standard file extension? For example: I would like to open a text file with an extension like ".ridiculous", but JMP is not able to select this file using Open() dialog. Any ideas? I am using JMP 18.0.1.

Change the selection to All Files

And if you are building UI and wish to have more customization options you can use Pick File()

Names Default To Here(1);
filepath = Pick File(
	"Select JMP File",
	"$DOCUMENTS",
	{"All Files|*"},
	1,
	0,
	"newJmpFile.jmp"
);

If(IsMissing(filepath),
	Throw("No file selected");
);

dt = Open(filepath);
