In AppleScript it's very easy to get the path of a file you want to open:

POSIX path for (choose file)

How can I do the same in Obj-C????

I want to have a "Open file" dialog and then use the path in the code.

Thanx

See the documentation for NSOpenPanel. It provides several methods for setting up and running an open panel.

For just a simple, totally un-special open panel, you'd use something about like this:

Code:
int button;
NSString *path;
NSOpenPanel *openPanel = [NSOpenPanel openPanel];
button = [openPanel runModelForDirectory:NSHomeDirectory() file:nil types:nil];
if (button == NSOKButton)
{
     path = [[openPanel filenames] objectAtIndex:0];
     // Do stuff with the file...
}
