GETFILELIST problem

[Gary]

I dont know if this is something I am doing or if it is a bug in GLBasic

I am loading my graphics and then switching to a folder containing MP3s which will play at random

My code is this

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

SETCURRENTDIR("Media") // seperate media and binaries?

LOADFONT "smallfont.png", 1
LOADFONT "medfont.png",2
LOADFONT "largefont.png",3
LOADSPRITE "num0.png",0
LOADSPRITE "num1.png",1
LOADSPRITE "num2.png",2
LOADSPRITE "num3.png",3
LOADSPRITE "num4.png",4
LOADSPRITE "num5.png",5
LOADSPRITE "num6.png",6
LOADSPRITE "num7.png",7
LOADSPRITE "num8.png",8
LOADSPRITE "num9.png",9

LOADSPRITE "bg.png",200

SETCURRENTDIR("MP3")
musiccount = GETFILELIST("*.mp3",list$[])

I have 2 directories in my project folder Media and MP3 and I would have expected SETCURRENTDIR("MP3") to have switched to the MP3 folder but the files returned by GETFILELIST are the ones in Media.

Is it a bug or am I being stupid?

Thanks
Gary

This works (ie gets the list of files in MEDIA/MP3) :

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

SETCURRENTDIR("Media")
SETCURRENTDIR("MP3")

GETFILELIST("*.*",list$[])

FOREACH a$ IN list$[]
DEBUG a$+"\n"
NEXT

Are you sure that your directory is like MEDIA/MP3 and not in a directory in another directory ?

ah ok, so setcurrentdir is recursive from the current directory then. That explains it.

Changed my code to setcurrentdir("../mp3") and it works fine now

Thanks for the help

Yes, it's based from the current directory, which is how it should be...
