Running the following function in my code results in a crash when reading a file next.

What is the expected output?
I expect the Music_Playlist$ array to contain filenames. (which it does)

What do you see instead?
After the function call, the next time I read a file, the program crashes.

What version of the product are you using?
1.08 beta 8

On what operating system?
Shameful Windows 8

Please provide any additional information below.
I believe the issue is related to the setfolder commands. If I change the top of the test function to be:

The program will crash as above, which tells me it's not the GetFirst/GetNext commands.

Since the media folder is the default, is this required? The first call sets the read folder to be music, which implies it's already in the media folder.

Besides, as per the help files, if I call setfolder( "music/" ) then setfolder( "media" ) This will attempt to set the folder to "media/music/media" The help files state to return to the default folder to call setfolder( "" )


As for an example, just run this function, then attempt to open a file with the opentoread command.

hmm, i don't know what help is the last one.

setfolder("") is the root, not your default media

did you try getfileexists before read?

i think the online help is newer

Eureka!

I simply setfolder("") : setfolder("media") and all's well in the world! That's fixed it!
Thanks for being the voice of reason!

looks like you can set it direct with a beginning /

SetFolder( "/music/" ) = root/music
SetFolder( "/media/" ) = root/media

I believe I tried that too with no luck. But either way, it's all working now. My "proper" music player is now fully working, giving me almost total control over what music is playing. (Well, I can skip between tracks at will and have the ability to display the track details when switching to a new track. video to follow if anyone wants to see it. )
