Yeah, [s2l], that's the one I knew it existed but couldn't remember. But what I didn't expect is that it'd work so well for this :)
But I also always try to see if it's possible to do with vanilla objects, and have a vanilla patch version. I was so convinced it'd be impossible, but Jonathan proved it can be done. Wow, I'm still trying to understand how it works, incredible.
Thanks folks

Aw c'mon, Miller, you didn't even try.
It's just a little sprintf hacking and that idiosyncratic recursion that outputs everything backwards.

Nope... there needs to be a string-to-binary-list-and-back function somewhere but I can't figure out what to name it :)

now, some files come in ratios as one symbol like this

I'd need to break them into different characters, then treat as numbers
to
get interval in cents. How do I do that? I believe I can't do it in any
way
with vanilla objects, right?
thanks Alex

yeah, it works :)
I knew there had to be an easier way other than the mess I did.
Perfect, Thanks
This is a very cool addon feature to my stuff I'm showing at PdCon, see
you
all there.
See you all there soon!

HI Alex --
Have you tried sending textfile an "open [my-filename] cr" message?
The
"cr" flag asks to interpret newlines as end-of-list.

Hi folks
Back in the end of my masters, I did make something that allows you
to
load
scales from the Scala software into Pd, which has a database of over
4000
scales.
Check the software and data bank here
http://www.huygens-fokker.org/scala/
It's an extremely powerful tool for microtonality, but you may not
care
for
that and just want to use the scale data bank in Pd.
Anyway, I have a way that exports the from the Scala software into
a
text
file that opens in this specific subpatch of mine.
But I was trying to do something easier, and that is just load these
*.scl
files into [textfile] or [msgfile] for example, and extracting the
list
of
these scale intervals in cents.
Here's what one of these files look like
==============
! 08-11.scl ! 8 out of 11-tET 8 ! 218.18182 327.27273 436.36364 654.54545 763.63636 872.72727 1090.90909 2/1
===============
So I assumed it'd be easy to extract each cents value and make a
list
out of
it, but I was wrong. Don't know why but it doesn't load this in
separate
lines, maybe because it is not a *.txt file at all.
And anyway, I'm getting in Pd just a list, so the above file, for
example,
file becomes
list ! 08-11.scl ! 8 out of 11-tET 8 ! 218.182 327.273 436.364
654.545
763.636 872.727 1090.91 2/1
I seem to have found a messy way to get the list out of it, but
maybe
you
people know of something really simple and elegant with some
extended
objects.
Thanks Alex
