Hi -
Not sure if I completely understand you, but for example, if you want
to scan a directory for RTF files, and e.g. create one button for each
file, you can do this:
~loc = "/my/desirable/path/*.rtf";
~filelist = ~loc.pathMatch;
~buttons = ~filelist.collect{|path|
// Now make a button for each one
}
If you want to be path-independent then perhaps you want to decide
~loc dynamically - for example, in a saved document you could write
~loc = Document.current.path.dirname +/+ "*.rtf";
Or if you're writing a class file you'd do it slightly differently:
~loc = this.class.filenameSymbol.asString.dirname +/+ "*.rtf";
