Access to File Browser Folders via TouchOSC on iPad

Hi everybody, I've been drilling my brain for the past few days trying to come up with a way to view contents of the file browser folders on my iPad via TouchOSC or in combination with using some sort of scripting language. I've seen another forum member post a "Custom File Browser" & its essentially the same thing I want to do minus the automatic play function, but he hasn't replied with any "how to dos" yet unfortunately... Any help would be very much appreciated. I've also posted a link to the "Custom Browser" I'm talking about below

As he says in the description:

it uses an unholy mix of puredata, python, and applescript to work.

Python to talk to the LiveAPI, Puredata to print the filenames to the iPad, Applescript to piss off Khazul.
