Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:
There are two reasons that I made it output each file separately. First, to make it similar in interface to [qlist] and [textfile]. Next, and more importantly, most file processing is going to happen on a per-file basis, at least in my scripting experience. For example, you might want to step thru a list of files and test which is bigger than 1MB, or which is a directory.
I have directories with very many files (like $HOME with all it's dotfiles. Building a list of all names would generate a huge list. I think it's better to output them sequentially instead of making this huge list.
But yes, the completion bang should be added, and is planned... then it would work really well with an [until].
Agreed.
For making a list out of the names, you can just use: [list]X[t a] in Pd. Using [list]--- filter somehow---X[t a] this could filter out unwanted filenames prior to building the list.
