Hi, I'm having some troubles on Windows with opcodes that read files or directories. I'm using the last Csound beta release from appveyor (file "csound-windows-x64-6.12.0-beta-2041.zip").

For example, this simple snippet of code to me doesn't work anymore (the "directory" opcodes now returns always an array of 0 elements):

instr 1
    iCnt           init      0
    SFilenames[]   directory "."
    iNumberOfFiles lenarray  SFilenames
                   print     iNumberOfFiles

    until (iCnt >= iNumberOfFiles) do
             printf_i "Filename = %s \n", 1, SFilenames[iCnt]
        iCnt =        iCnt+1
    od
endin

If I use the Csound 6.11 downloaded from here: https://github.com/csound/csound/releases/download/6.11.0/Csound6.11.0-Windows_x64-installer.exe the snippet above works without problems...

Best Regards,
Mauro

What is the date or commit nuber of 
csound-windows-x64-6.12.0-beta-2041.zip?  As far as  can see te onlt 
change in the fie defining te directory opcode was recet,  28, 29 and 30

Rory, can you test on the latest code in github?  I cannot see how te 
change which is running everywhere else could cause the empty list, 

Oh dear; that suggests the ftsamplebnk.dll is not loadable?  I suppose I 

It's not related to the last changes, because I just tried with a previous Csound beta I had, dated 2 september (csound-windows-x64-6.11.0-beta-1937) and it doesn't work.

I tried to download the full installer of the last beta version, instead of the zip version, and now the opcodes that access to files/directories work!!

The problem was that I simply copied all the contents of the zip file to the bin directory of my Csound installation ("C:\Program Files\Csound6_x64\bin"), but this doesn't work, because some of those files had to be placed inside the bin folder, others in the plugins64 folder. Strangely, the zip version has all the files mixed in just one directory (apart from the "include" folder), so you don't know which file goes in which directory...

I'm very sorry guys for wasting your time... It was a stupid mistake on my part... :'-(

Hi Rory, what are the contents of your test.csd file?

This is the file I tried in Cabbage:

<CsoundSynthesizer>
<CsOptions>
-n -d -+rtmidi=NULL -M0 -m0d --midi-key-cps=4 --midi-velocity-amp=5
</CsOptions>
<CsInstruments>
; Initialize the global variables.
sr = 44100
ksmps = 32
nchnls = 2
0dbfs = 1

instr 1

    iCnt            init        0
    SFilenames[]    directory   "."
    iNumberOfFiles  lenarray    SFilenames
                    print       iNumberOfFiles
                    
    until (iCnt >= iNumberOfFiles) do
                printf_i    "Filename = %s \n", 1, SFilenames[iCnt]
        iCnt    =           iCnt + 1
    od
    
    Swd pwd
        printf  "Current path: %s\n", 1, Swd    

endin

</CsInstruments>
<CsScore>
i1 0 1
</CsScore>
</CsoundSynthesizer>

It works well with the installer downloaded from appveyor "Csound6_x64-6.12.0-beta-2041.exe".

ftsamplebank.dll is included, but Csound doesn't find the opcode? Odd Mauro that you get a different result? I'm using the build from 5 hours ago.

Hi John. I no longer have a windows dev environment but I will try setting one up to test this. Might take me a day or two. Leave it with me. I can't see anything that might be causing this problem.
