Hi folks, I tried to google this, but of course am swamped with results on how to load things in the patcher instead of what I'm looking for. Can anyone point me at how to use the filepath to load files in an external? In Max I have s4m find the fullpath for the bootstrap files and then load them up through s7s native load function with the fullpath. If anyone has an example of something similar for Pd, that would be lovely!
thanks
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

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

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