is it possible for tiddly-wiki to get a list of files in a directory i know you can embed files on the local system but is there a way to get a list of files in a folder or is there a way to reference local files in a relative sense?

another alternative i could do would be if i could keep the list of files in a text file that a separate program updates and then tiddly wiki parses that info somehow so i can reference the files in the folders i don't know how to parse the data into tiddler only how to embed the file i want the actual data

an answer to anyone of these would solve my problem

You can't do this with a standalone wiki, because the browser won't give permission for that action. You could use a server based solution, in particular Bob, to launch a script that could send that information back to you.

Also, Wiki's running under TiddlyDesktop have local file rights, can access a local file in the wiki

eg
<object width="100%" height="930" data="file:///C:\Data\batches\networkcheck.txt"></object>

But no one has helped me work out how to "parse" this once included.
