Hi, Im trying to create a patch that allows you to choose which folder you want an sfplay to open a .wav from. In the patch I have created I get the message- open"C:/Users/LEE/Desktop/drum project/drums/bassdrum/"bassdrum. But what i need is for the last bassdrum to appear in between the / and the " so the message would read- open"C:/Users/LEE/Desktop/drum project/drums/bassdrum/bassdrum" any ideas???

Cheers chris I have set the patch up with the sprintf putting bassdrum.wav into the message as that is what the wav file is called. but it doesnt load the sample into sfplay. i think the reason is that their is no " in the message. any ideas? Thanks

use "symout" with the [sprintf] so you don't have problems if there are spaces in the file path.

I think we need a Sticky or a general Help file (or documentation page) specifically to deal with filepath issues using [sprintf] [combine] etc. Though the [sprintf] help file addresses this, it still comes up far too often and it's a pain to figure out...

that only works when bassdrum.wav is in your max search path.

@themagicwoodshed - the first and second patchers you posted were the same, no?

opendialog fold problem?
