Hum, I just loaded the file created with binfile inside textfile and it works like I want. But how do I make the system recognize the file as a text file?

Hi again Martin,
Hum , the output file is a binary. I don't think I was very clear:
I need a way to write a text file from PD BUT the input and output is in ASCII code.
For example. from pd, I would send "add 97 32 98 32 99" and when I would write the file, the contents could be viewed with a text editor and would display "a b c".

You could check out [binfile] in cvs externals/mrpeach/binfile. It works a
bit like [texfile] but it can read and write arbitrary bytes.
