Hi, how can i select a random wavefile from a folder withouth knowing the
names of the files in my folder?
how can i read all the files names in a folder and then select one? which
would be the best way of doing this?
[hcs/folder_list] then [list length] then [random] then [list split] then $1.
You were pwned by a misnomer.
[folder_list] outputs each file/dir as a symbol, so you'd need to accumulate a list from its output.
