uigetfile for Windows

[Knuhut]

Hi

I needed uigetfile (usally known from Matlab) to open arbitrary files in my application. AFAIK there is no function like that in Octave, so I made one of my own.

My function works by calling a separate binary exe via 'system' function, which itself calls the Windows API function 'GetOpenFileName'. Sources and the VC6 project are included in the attachment.

I'm far away from being a sophisticated programmer and my function is not fully compatible with Matlab. Anyway it works for me and someone of you might find it useful.

Here is an extended version that has two additional parameters similar to matlab.

Usage:
filename=uigetfile(FilterSpec, DialogTitle, DefaultName)

You can type "help uigetfile" to get more information

uigetfile.zip.
