[chuck-users] SndBuf Error.

[Hugh Rawlinson]

Hi,

The relevant code is here:

```
me.dir(C:\Program Files (x86)\ChucK\audio\123.wav) => string path;
```

At this point, the string "path" is "C:\Program Files
(x86)\ChucK\audio\123.wav".

```
"/audio/123.wav" => string filename;
// + sign connects strings together!
path+filename => filename;
```

so when you concatenate it with the "filename" string, you end up with a
string with the contents "C:\Program Files
(x86)\ChucK\audio\123.wav/audio/123.wav", which is not the correct path.

The correct code might look like this:

```
// get file path
me.dir("C:\Program Files (x86)\ChucK\audio\") => string path;
// sound file we want to play
"123.wav" => string filename;
// + sign connects strings together!
path+filename => filename;
```

I haven't been able to test this, since I'm not at a Windows computer right
now, but if my understanding is correct, it should work.

Hope that helps!

Best,

Hugh
