title: How do I retrieve a user selected file and use it in the last version of angular?
body: <p>I'm using angular 13 at the moment of this problem.</p>
  <p>So my problem goes like this, I need to retrieve a &quot;.dxf&quot; file from the user, he has to select it and then the file selected by the user is used by a dxf to svg parser, so in short I want the user to select a dxf file and then use the selected exact file for the library in question.</p>
  <p>I've been following some guides or previous questions made on stack overflow but it seems outdated for the version of angular I'm in right now  (most of the questions are from angular 2, 5 or 6 at the time of the creation), I have to admit that I don't understand fully what &quot;event.target.files&quot; returns specifically and I would be glad to get an answer for that too.</p>
