Another user input question [message #67348] Wed, 15 July 2009 11:28

I'm writing a program where I want the user to input which file they
want to be read into the program. I previously had a specific file in
the program using rdfloat, where I knew how many columns there were,
etc. Now I want my program to be more universal, but I'm having
trouble figuring out how to allow the user to pick the file. I've
tried things like this:

data=' '
read,'Enter file',x
data=rd_tfile( or other such functions), 'data'... and so on and so
forth...
print,data

I just keep getting various types of error messages. Any ideas?
