Hi

I've written a bit of code that manipulates an image and, before I post it on openprocessing, I thought that it would be nice to provide it with a larger pool of images to play with than I can reasonably copy there. I would like it to look at a directory of images on a different website and choose one of those to manipulate.

I've found two ways of finding/listing files here and here.

 

The first does this:

  String path = sketchPath;
  String[] filenames = commandToListFileNames(path);
and I can change path to an absolute local path and get the right results.

 

The second does this:

  java . io . File folder = new java . io . File (dataPath ( "" ) ) ;
and if I have files matching the search criteria in the dataPath, I get results. I can't successfully change this to another path, relative or absolute. I've looked at the help for java.io.File and don't understand the syntax required.

 

I can't, with either of these, provide an http:// address. Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks
