Getting data folder content Aug 8th, 2008, 5:17pm   I've found in the processing forum many solution to this problem, but none of then worked. The code bellow seemed to solve this problem to many people, but not for me. Code: File dir = new File("sketchbook/default/sketch/data"); String foo = dir.list(); Does anyone knows how can I get the content of the data folder  in the sketch folder? Why that solution doesn't work for me?
