emvee

I want to filter the files in the folder that autopopulates a umenu. The message [types] can be used for that.

It would be helpful to know which symbol designates which file type. I am supposed to use the four-letter symbol used by the OS. How do I find out?

I would like to filter on extensions (too); i.e., I use .col for coll data, .fun for funbuff data et cetera.

umenu-message-types

The "types" symbols can be found in max-fileformats.txt in the Cycling '74 > init folder. You can use [regexp] to filter the extensions. Here's an example.

I'll have to look into regexp a bit more, having no experience with it (I am not much of a hard-core programmer).
