[PD] external for reading files from directories?

This topic has already been treated several times on the list. Im using python scripts for this in pd - windows with pyext. If you wish to retrieve several different files with known extensions i would suggest using python's 'glob' command which allows searches with wildcards (eg: /*.jpg). I've been thinking of preparing a short tut. on how i do this with some patches maybe within a month. Zexy could be your friend to deal with the returned strings. cheers greg.

Hi,

Is there an external for reading the contents of a directory/folder on the file system? Preferably, this external would output a list of symbol names... and allow you to specify a set of extensions (eg, it would return only .jpg .gif .png etc).

Thanks,
