      @Sawer i is a file object, so what do you expect the output to be? Also probably better to use f instead of i, or even the word file to be really clear about what the object is.

        @d-healey An object and its id, maybe? something like "Object 0x3b35018" ?

        for (file in filesArray)
        { Console.print(file);  }  
        

        Here you go :)

        Probably it's a kind of different object, I get it.
        Is there a way to stringify it and get the name of the file?

          @Sawer Type File in the API browser to see all of the functions that are available for File objects.

            @d-healey Thanks.
            Do spaces in a path make the function not to work? because it's still now working. I'm wondering if it is that

              @Sawer Spaces in the paths are fine. Are you sure your array has been populated (use the script watch table to check)?

                  Do all files work or only text files? Because I just want to get the name of each sample file in the project sample folder, using the FileSystem API.

                    @Sawer All files, but the samples won't be in the project folder on the user's system.

                    Do your samples have a .format extension?

                    Perhaps use this function

                      @d-healey the format was just an example name: the wildcard is "*.wav"
                      Will try that function now and give you a feedback. Thanks

                        @d-healey For instance, I'm now trying the same thing with an XML, and still the array is not populated. Strange..

                            @d-healey True.

                            inline function fetchSamplesDirectory(component, value)
                            {
                               if (value == 1)
                                 FileSystem.browseForDirectory(FileSystem.Desktop, function(folder)
                            	{
                            	   if(isDefined(folder) && folder.isDirectory())
                            			{
                            			  var samplesPath = folder.toString(folder.FullPath); //samples directory variable
                            				
                            			  var samplesArray = FileSystem.findFiles(samplesPath, "*.wav", false); //Array of samples 
                            				
                                                      Console.print(samplesArray);
                            			}	
                            	});
                            };
                            

                            I have not been iterating over the array cause it's still not populated.

                              @Sawer You don't need to pass a string to the findFiles function. Just pass in the folder variable.
