file browsers coded in lua ??????

[FaT3oYCG]

Hi ive decided to work on a browser for my psp in lua and eventually release it when it nears completion but there is one main thing that i cant quite seem to find out. ???? quite simply i would like to assign the triangle button to go up a directory on the memory stick when it is pressed.

how would i do that ?????

e.g.

if
pad:triangle()
then
go up one dir
end

Don't use the filebrowser on evilmana; it's old and very inefficient.

Oh and to go up a directory by pressing triangle try doing something like this:

if pad:triangle() and not oldpad:triangle() then
System.currentDirectory("..")
filelist = System.listDirectory()
select = 1
end

Thanks tp but ive already sorted it

i used this code:

if
pad:triangle() and oldpad:triangle() ~= pad:triangle()
then
System.currentDirectory("..")
current = 1
listitems = System.listDirectory()
getnames = table.getn(listitems)
end
