scripts look like wording, but you won't understand why it works until you figure out the predefined things it's referencing

Consider: 

Create Strings as file list: "*.wav"
num_files = Get number of strings
for i from 1 to num_files
  selectObject: "Strings files"
  filename$ = Get string: i
  basename$ = filename$ - ".wav"
  Read from file: dir$ + basename$ + ".wav"
endfor

Why does "Get number of files" or "Get String" work?

Get is a little magical

  • Get mean...



Create Strings as file list... list 'source_directory$'/'file_name_or_initial_substring$'*'file_extension$' head_words = selected("Strings")
