I'd like to send an entire external text file (xml) over tcp on a bang. I'm currently struggling with the textfile object and netsend. Are there better ways?
Textfile assumes I want to send a line at a time, while netsend wants a message with "send" at the start and then the entire string I want to send. A message with "send $1" only sends the second word of any line.
To dynamically prepend a "send" in front of a list of unknown length you can use [list prepend send]. This will generate a message: "list send a b c d ..."
However [netsend] wants to get a message not starting with "list send" but only with "send ..." so you need to use an additional [list trim] to remove the "list"-part. All together this will be like this:
[textfile] | [list prepend send] | [list trim] | [netsend]
