Perfect! That one's much more comprehensible for my less-than-stellar C chops. :-)
thanks!

Exactly.
I now see that there's a better example in the binbuf_read_via_canvas() function in m_binbuf.c

Ah got it, presumably I get what I'm looking for in char *dirresult?
assumption taken from: EXTERN int open_via_path(const char *dir, const char *name, const char

char *dirresult, char **nameresult, unsigned int size, int bin);thanks again!

Yeah... open_via_path and scoop up the full path it reports back -
then
close the file and let s7 reopen it :)

Thanks Miller. Looking at that example, this seems to be a way to
open
and
read in the whole file into C, which I could do, but the path of
least
resistance for me so far has been to pass the actual loading to s7.
Is
there a way to just get the full path for a file found from the Pd filepath? (if not, I suppose I'll read the file in and the
eval_string on
it or something...)
thanks! iain

open_via_path() should do it. See for instance open_soundfile()
in
d_soundfile.c
