Passing values within dialog from menu item

[Matthew]

Hi, I am using a menu item wihin a dialog to open a text file of numbers and save the data. I then want to be able to pass that to the macro.
The text file is simply
1
2
3
4

I can read and save the numbers to a variable fine, but how do I pass them to the another part of the dialog, so I can then pass them to the macro? I am getting an empty string when I try and pass to the macro.

Here is the dialog and I have attached an image to help explain

Function _15_4_HOT

needs to be a thread variable

Function _15_4_HOT

Code:

Copy      Help

,str-- fileTxt;;or str- fileTxt

• - var is thread variable, visible in all functions of current thread.
  
• -- var is thread variable, visible only in current function.

Perfect, thanks so much Kevin, I was sure it was something simple!

To make code shorter and clear arranged can use 1 button to start-stop.

Could also do the enabling in 1 line. Thought maybe hard to read.

Great suggestion to improve the code - thankyou!!
