I have to type of ini file formats:
*.cl9
*.bbxd

So I'm using this type of code to open up files:

levelname = get_open_filename("BBXD Level (.bbxd)|*.bbxd|Chain Level(.cl9)|*.cl9",".bbxd")

Now my question is:
Is there a way to check which type of file is being opened?

What I'm asking for is something like this:

if format == ".cl9"
{/*blah blah blah*/}

Edit: Hrm nevermind, going to have to look at exactly how get_open_filename works
Edit: Also, if you need to know way after you've opened it what type of file it is, why not store the file and filetype as a key inside your ini?

if ( filename_ext( levelname ) == ".cl9" ) {
 //PERFORM STUFF 
}

Does that work?

I already tried with Greeps idea and I was able to pull this one off. But I haven't seen GameDevDan's code since i left to bed early. I tried it now and it caused a glitch where it opens the file many times without stop. However, I'm going with Greeps idea since I already tried it and worked very well. Thanks guys!
PS:
Here is what I did:

Script213:

var ii, ee, oo;
for (ii=0; ii<40; ii+=1)
{
ee=string_char_at(levelname,ii)
   if ee=="."
{
      oo=string_copy(levelname,ii,4)
      return oo
}
}

code for opening a file:

levelname = get_open_filename("BBXD Level (.bbxd)|*.bbxd|Chain Level(.cl9)|*.cl9",".bbxd")
yuo=script213()
if yuo==".cl9"
{/*blah blah blah*/}
if yuo==".bbx"
{/*blah blah blah*/}
else
{show_message("Opening non-compatible file!")
