Selon Matteo Sisti Sette matteosistisette@gmail.com:
Any suggestions on how to check for the existence of a directory?
it would be childish if [sys_gui] or another object would retrieve tcl console output, then [puts [glob -type d My-Dir]< would do the trick, or just a bang when tcl command is done.
as said before: we are dealing with asyncrhonous messages over the internet here. i don't think there is a way to do what you request (as option b) generically. otoh, you can do option a with [sys_gui] something like "pd_send myrecname [ glob -type d My-Dir ]" should send the output of the glob command back to Pd where it will magically appear on the "myrecname" receiver.
sidenote: pd_send is what i remember; could be called slightly differently or take more args; for details see pd.tk
