Is there a way to programatically load a fbx mesh from a folder through VEX or Python?
So the folder contains an n amount of meshes I would like to loop through it and load them up per iteration.
Each folder can have a different amount of meshes and I want to load one or more based on an attribute.

What's the most houdiniesque way of doing this?

I think is the solution i ws looking for.

dir = self.scheduler.localizePath(strData(work_item, 'directory'))
#file = self.scheduler.localizePath(strData(work_item, 'filename'))
extention = self.scheduler.localizePath(strData(work_item, 'filename'))



print(dir + "/" + extention + "   |  ")
