How to toggle between two different file paths in File Source

[Jonathan Morales]

Hello!

I've been struggling to figure out how to send one file, delay, then switch
to sending a second different file. I've been using gnuradio-companion to
generate a Python script which I manipulate. I've tried resetting the
filepath call after a delay but, when I run the script it continues to
only send the first file.

Regards,
J

Thanks for the reply!

I tried doing that, but the data being transmitted doesn't change from the
first file source. My actual code I entered was:

tb.blocks_file_source_0 = blocks.file_source(gr.sizeof_char*1, 'filename',
True)

Any thoughts on how to get the file source to actually switch?

Nevermind, am an idiot. Did what you said and it worked:
tb.blocks_file_source_0.open('filename', True)

Try calling src.open(filename, repeat) after the delay.
