Still, you need to get the text message to the Python external. Besides that, I find it a bit to have to resort to Python only to get a text message out. I use the [system] object to start shell scripts which are triggered by pd events, and here too, I have to use [makefilename] to build a commandline. It works, but it's ugly.
Isn't it also a bit too much to use a whole operating [system], where a bit of Python would make things even simpler? (This is not meant really serious. However I believe, you are cheating somehow: Although you use shell scripts, you complain about having to resort to a programming language like Python? ;)
I complain a lot, that is true! I do believe however that Python requires quite a bit more overhead than /bin/sh. As I learn beyond my first acquaintance with Pd, I will try to return some of the energy which I have sucked out of this list. To which I am very grateful, let that not be misunderstood! :) So, a big hand to all Pd developers and users out there. And for now: get me off this thread, I don't understand [soundfiler] ;) m@rc
