I did a search on this forum and didn't find a answer, i use

$gettok($did(6,$did(6).sel).text,1,41)

to grab a line from a listbox in a dialog, but how can i get all the lines in that listbox? i can only get the first line from it, and i need the rest too. tested to change the value 1,41 and still no go, someone that can explain this a bit to me?

$did(6,$did(6).sel).text

Returns the text from the selected line in item #6. If you want to return other lines, use something like this:

$did(6,17).text <- returns line 17

If you have a multisel listbox, use something like this:

$did(6,$did(6,8).sel).text <- returns the 8th selected line

You can't use $gettok here since there are more than one line, you need to use another method.I can't test this but with /savebuf and binary command, you can extract the first token separated by a $chr(41) easily

or you could use $did(6).seltext

$did(6,1).text with a while loop did the trick, thanx.
