Folder scanning ?

[lalalandsynth]

What's the reason for needing to know which file was dragged first? Do you need to cycle through them in a particular order or something?

Yes, Say I have a folder with 10 files , I drag number 5 , Then using the "Next" button I would like to advance to number 6 , and Previous vice versa rather then just starting at the beginning of the list or file 1.


Btw: the counter wraps around so eventually by hitting next I would reach number 1 etc.

I guess I could scan the list somehow and when I find a match create an index ?

Looking into that ...hmm.

"String Array Find" primitive - it does exactly that (Michael will be so pleased with me! )

here's my attempt at a ruby solution then with glob:

Code: Select all

whatiwanttodo ( @refresh_folder.if(^dragndrop_changed_folder )||(^after_load) << YESSS->get?string_from{s%folderarray.at(retrieve(^current_index)}::needing(glob, waveload, #string~output))[]

i guess it's somewhere in the ballpark but probably wont run at first try.

Thanks mate...I am such a Ruby virgin I dont know how to implement that to be honest.

hahah, that ....is ...simple !

Spank you guys , this might work

Michael's code has a bug - he didn't use the "please" method to ask nicely!*

(* there is actually a computer language where you have to do that - INTERCAL - except that if you do it too often, it refuses to run because it thinks you're patronising!)
