I figured it out on my own. For anyone searching here's a solution.

[hcs/folder_list] outputs the entire pathname and includes hidden files.

[splitfilename] splits the directory from the file and outputs each.

[list fromsymbol] changes a symbol into a list of numbers. The number 46 is the preceding dot of hidden files.

[route 46] will catch all files starting with a dot. The right outlet outputs everything else.

[list tosymbol] will reassemble the file name into a symbol.

The rest of the code recombines the path with the reconstituted file name.

Voila! Hidden files are ignored. Is there a simpler solution?

Hi, all.

Does anyone have a suggestion to ignore hidden files preceded by a dot? hcs/folder_list outputs all the files matching a wildcard pattern. Seems like there should be some way to look for files that start with a dot and not pass them.

I'm loading a directory of audio files but there are a ton of ._files.wav that were created by OSX. I've got a bunch of audio sample directories like this and I could go through and remove all these files, but this software will also be used by someone on a Mac, so it's better to just ignore this inconvenient OS behavior if possible.

Thanks!
