Getting filename from songs.

[helblade]

Hi. I'm new to audacity and i'm trying to make a beat analyzer that prints out the time of beats to an external file using a nyquist plugin.
So far i've been able to print stuff out but i cant seem to find any supporting documents that would enable me to print the filename of the sound file i am using. i'm using the ;type analyze plugin for this.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

You will need to do that from user input as Audacity does not pass that information to Nyquist.

Code: Select all

;nyquist plug-in
;version 2
;type analyze
;name "A-test"
;action "test"
;info "text input example..."

;; input for name
;; Note that for an empty input field, ther must be 2 spaces at the end of the line.
;control name "Enter Your Name" string "" ""  

;; input for message
;; input field is not empty, so spaces at end of the line are not required.
;control input-text "text before box" string "text after" "input"

;; concatenate (join) strings
(setq message (strcat "your name is: " name ".nYour message is: " input-text))

(print message)
