Re: [PD] directories in PD

thanks, I'm running win 32 and have been meaning to learn some python, so this sounds like the best solution for me :)

though I may try to compile that playlist external as well...

i'm not too sure if there are other easier ways, but you could get a directory listing using the [shell] object (i think from GGEE) if you happen to be running linux, im not sure it exists for windows (it may)

there's a command/external that lets me work with directories? the goal would be some batch/automatic loading of multiple sound files.

This is probably -not- the easiest way, but perhaps a good idea if you want a lot a flexibility as to what you do with directory listings later on...use Grill's pyext, write a python script:

import pyext

class dir(pyext._class):

    _inlets=1
    _outlets=1

    def bang_1(self):
            import dircache
            a=dircache.listdir('/usr/local/pd') #change to whatever

sound dir self._outlet(1,a)

Then load with [pyext nameofscript nameofclass] ...should work in whatever platform you have pd/pyext. Example above is just a bang method, but read grill/py/scripts in the CVS tree (or downloaded tarball), the simple.py script explains how pyext works and how to write for it...
