pyyeti.guitools.askopenfilename(title=None, filetypes=None, initialdir=None)[source]

Use GUI to select file for reading

Parameters:

  • title (string or None) – Title of window. Use None to accept tkinter default.

  • filetypes (list or None) – Option to limit file search to certain patterns. Typically, this is a list of tuples, each tuple containing a description followed by a pattern (see example below).

  • initialdir (string or None) – Initial directory to begin search. If None, use previous location if there is one.

Returns:

filename (string) – The selected filename.

Notes

Here is a simple example:

from pyyeti import guitools
filename = guitools.askopenfilename()

To filter the files to selected types:

from pyyeti import guitools
filetypes = [('Output4 files', '*.op4'),
             ('All files', '*')]
filename = guitools.askopenfilename(filetypes=filetypes)
