Hi all,
I am searshing a way to store data in my abstractions and i wanted to know if there is a way to get the parent patch name (I want to store data with pool and i'd like to save data whith the parent patch name...) More generally, i wonder if there is a way to deal whith files in pd (create a directory for example).
Thanks
probably best to pass it as a variable. one technique is to pass a $0 (patch's unique identifier) to the abstraction, which the abstraction refers to as it's first arg ($1). i don't know of any way to get the patches string name specifically save for some tcl hackery?
