GetOpenFileName opens a Open File dialog box.

svFileName = GetOpenFileName_Data(ssDir, bMultiselect, bSortByDate, bConvertToNC)

Return Value

The function returns a string vector with the complete file names. If the user chooses the Cancel button the function returns an empty string (“”). If the function is called with the parameter bMultipleSelect with the value TRUE (1), the user can select multiple files. If the parameter bConvertToNC is set to TRUE (1), the function returns the names of the converted NC files.

If bMultipleSelect is TRUE (1), the user can select multiple files. If the parameter is FALSE (0), only one file name can be selected.
