Question

string [] filenames = openFileDialog1.FileNames;

How can I read this array?

Would I need to set each file path to its own string???
I’m clueless.

Answer 1

Do you mean access the elements in the array?

for (int i = 0; i < filenames.Length; i++)
    MyDoSomethingMethod(filenames[i]);

As pointed out by another answer you can also use a foreach to access each item

foreach (String filename in filenames)
    DoSomething(filename);

When you access filenames[some_index] you access the string already so there’s no need to save it to another variable to work with it same applies to foreach loop.
