I'm a real noob, so don't jump on me as I haven't written any code.
I'm looking for a sample of code to do exactly what the OP was trying to do but I stumble into too many issues over creating a dynamic string array and reading each file name. There are too many libraries and I'm not a programmer. I'd appreciate some help.
I need a simple sketch that creates a character array, opens the root directory, reads the names and appends them to the array to allow it to be read and accessed later. This will be used to play .wav files from the card. I have code to read a named .wav file and play it from the SD card but this string manipulation part of the project eludes me.
I have looked at the CardInfo example but can't understand how to move the read list to a script. I've tried to modify the openNextFile example on the arduino reference site, but can't go from printing the file names to adding them to a script. I'm sure that this is simple but it's beyond me.
I know I'm asking for someone to post a short sketch for me, I do hope people don't find this offensive, but I am lost.
Thanks in advance
Shane
