Hi, Does anyone know of a way to grab messages that are printed to the PD window, for example if a sound file has a bad header or an object

i admit that this is not really trivial. this should give you a start:
pd -stderr -verbose 2>&1 | while read line do echo "${line};" | pdsend 6666 localhost udp done
you can then fetch everything that is printed via a udp-listener on
port 6666, either via pdreceive (which might be kind of pointless in this case) or via [netreceive] in either a separate pd-task or in the very same pd-task; be aware of feedbacks then! and of course you have no console any more...
That would be a nice script to have in /scripts/ with a matching patch.
