Can anyone give me an example of how to use '--strset' effectively? I 
would like to pass a sound file name in the command line? Is there any 
way one can overwrite variable by passing command line arguments? Cheers,
Rory.

instr 1

Sname  strget  1
a1    diskin2  Sname, ...
...
  endin


csound ... --strset1="mysoundfile.wav"

Thanks Victor, that's what I thought but I the following code below 
results in an error saying can't find the file. If I replace the Sname 
variable with the exact same string it works fine?


instr 1
Sname  strget  1
a1 soundin Sname
out a1

-odac --strset1="D:/MyDocuments/csoundfiles/Old/Amy.wav"

Perhaps you need to escape the the "/" as in D://MyDocuments//csoundfiles 
etc etc

No, that was silly. You are using forward slashes, so you don't need to
escape anything. Don't know really.

it works here.

My SFDIR is d:\audio

so if I say --strset1="pianoc2.wav" or --strset1="d:\audio\pianoc2.wav" or 
--strset1="d:/audio/pianoc2.wav"

it always finds the file

Isn't your file called Army.wav and not Amy.wav?

Thanks everyone. I had an extra quote at the end when I copied the string!
Sorry about that. The funny thing is that I noticed it when I copied and
pasted the instrument to my mail, I then fixed it before I sent it without
thinking. D'oh.

Rory.
