[PD] external for reading files from directories?

[Gregorio G. Karman]

This topic has already been treated several times on the list. Im using
python scripts for this in pd - windows with pyext. If you wish to
retrieve several different files with known extensions i would suggest
using python's 'glob' command which allows searches with wildcards (eg:
/*.jpg).
I've been thinking of preparing a short tut. on how i do this with some
patches maybe within a month. Zexy could be your friend to deal with the
returned strings.
