Thanks, Dan and Oliver!
I have no problem using externals. I have finished up the code already and it's working - so topic done!

I have vanilla implementations of s2l and l2s, if needed: https://github.com/danomatika/rc-patches File paths with spaces work fine as long as you merge them into a single symbol. I simply use l2s for this.

First of all thank you, Winfried and Tim!
I ended up picking Tim's version with [list fromsymbol], [list split] and [list tosymbol] because it needs less objects. Works perfectly!
However, I had to add a [iemlib/mergefilename _] to eliminate blank spaces in some names. In order to change the names to work with [mergefilename] and [ list fromsymbol] I had to convert a few times with [s2l] and [l2s]. The underscores are converted to spaces again right before going to the LCD display.
it can all be done with vanilla objects, just needs a little patching.
here's an abstraction of mine that i use a lot, which takes care of all the stuff you need. helpfile is included
best
