Setting complex sound file name in SoundOut object

[EJ Nikelski]

Hello List,

    I'm a new user, and I've run into a problem that must have a simple 
solution ... although I haven't been able to find it. Specifically, I am 
using a SoundOut object to play a wav file for each trial; the wav file 
to be played is defined as a trial attribute in the trial list. If I set 
the SoundOut object Filename field to [prime], there is no problem.

    However, when I place my wav files in a separate directory, and I 
set the SoundOut Filename to something like 
"C:\stimuli\auditory\[prime]", I get a compile error at the following line:

primeSoundBuffer.Filename = C:\\stimuli\\auditory\[prime")


   Note that the line of code has been corrupted (double backslash on 
the end missing, double quote inserted, square bracket changed to right 
parenthesis). I've tried a few variations on this, but the only thing 
that I have gotten working is (1) a completely fixed path wav filename, 
and (2) using only the attribute -- which forces all of the wav files to 
be located in my experimental directory.

   I've run out of ideas. Any help would be very appreciated.


Thanks,


-Jim
