It’s a bit hard to say what’s wrong without a code example. Out of the blue, my guess is that you are using wrong character to define the path. Windows uses ‘’-character and other systems uses ‘/’-character. Second option is that you down refer the path correctly against the working directory of Processing

nope, found another way. and sharing the massive 500 liner code is pretty much impractical. in my code, the conditional programming is at its peak, you wouldn’t understand without seeing the whole code… @SomeOne
