Building on EderYif's answer, the following doesn't produce a compiler warning and also removes the 'file://' part of the returned filename.

NSOpenPanel *op = [NSOpenPanel openPanel];
[op setCanChooseFiles:true];
[op setCanChooseDirectories:true];
[op runModal];

NSString* file = [[op.URLs firstObject] absoluteString];
NSString* fixedFile = [file stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"file://"
                                                      withString:@""];
[[self textFilePath] setStringValue:fixedFile];

The code for previous answers :

NSOpenPanel *op = [NSOpenPanel openPanel];
op.canChooseFiles = YES;
op.canChooseDirectories = YES;
[op runModal];
self.txtFilePath.stringValue = [op.URLs firstObject];

in op.URLs you can find paths for all files you just selected.
