load a file out of the data directory ...
Jan 12th, 2009, 10:40am  
Hello,

I"d like to be able to load files out of the data directory (not for an applet).
Is it possible to read directory's names and files's name ; to make an "open file" command ... ?

... and this only with processing (not with java code)

maybe someone made an application which could be an example ?

thanks

P.S. and sorry for my poor english Smiley

Yes, AFAIK, all commands taking a file name to get the file from the data directory also accepts an absolute file path.

Open file command: see selectInput(), I think.

"(not with java code) "
Why Processing is 95% Java code anyway, in lot of cases you can use regular Java code (outside of the ref) without problem.
