OpenFileDialogBox MyUDF "txt"
Will open a new file choose dialog box(user can only choose "txt" files) and will call MyUDF when user has chosen the file.

string_var sv_FilePath

Notes
- Works only on Windows Vista+ systems(Windows Vista,Windows7,Windows8, Windows10, Windows11). Doesn't work on Windows XP. You can check Windows version with GetPCTrait.
- During Windows choose file dialog box game execution is halted.
- Some filepath symbols might not be supported, for instance, English version of Fallout:New Vegas will not display cyrillic symbols.
- Any form ID can be specified instead of script for testing purposes;
- When using string result, keep in mind that it's returning case-sensitive file path(while GetFalloutDirectory returns case-insensitive path). Thus you need to use case insensitive string search if you want to check if chosen file contains file directory to remove path from string output later.
