ESS: loading mp3's from the local filesystem
Jan 5th, 2006, 9:00am  
Hi,

In the documentation for ESS, it says that using the loadSound() method, files can be loaded from the local file system for exported applications from Processing (http://www.tree-axis.com/Ess/Channel_loadSound_.html)

Any advice on how to format the path to the file in question? Just as a test, I tried putting a file I wanted to load in the root of the C: drive and tried loading it with myChannel.loadSound("c:\filename.wav"); but the compiler doesn't like the backslash in the string. Any advice? Thanks.

-Aaron

just a sidenote: use '\\' not '\'
\ used to mark special characters in formatted strings.
if you want to write \, write \\

void setup() {
 size(200,200);
 println("\\"); <<-- this is the good way
}
