Hey, I'm trying to access a folder within by project folder...
project folder is called 3dEd,
there is a folder within the 3dEd folder called "tex".

I want to change the current directory from the default to "tex"

using

SET DIR "tex" = fail
SET DIR "\tex" = Fail
SET DIR (get dir$+"\tex")=fail.

am I being a total tard? What's going on and why doesn't this work?!

Best

if you are in 3dEd and tex is in there use the change directory command (cd)

cd "tex"

Aha!

Sorry I was being stupid!

Setting DIR within the program loop doesn't work because it continueously tries to set the DIR within the previous one.
duh.

Sorted now, but thanks for the help!

ie:

if path exist("tex")=1
set DIR "tex"
endif

perform checklist for files
textures=checklist quantity()
set cursor 0,30
print get dir$()
for i=1 to textures
print checklist string$(i)
next i
