can't cut and paste, as there is no way to do that in programming.You might want to open up some abstractions in a text editor, you
can see the code that PD uses to create these objects directly. It
is very enlightening.
cut and paste is possible too. Check out pd-msg for the details.
Basically, you need to programmatically draw a box around the around
the area to select the objects, then send the cut and paste messages.
Well sure i could keep track of that....but what if i would like to
modify an existing patch....Can't do it programmatically. You can only add objects to an
existing patch, and if it is something that already has existing
objects, there is no way to know how many objects are already in a
patch. mike
It would be non-trivial but possible. You could count the lines in
the .pd file with "#X obj" in them, that would give you the total
number of objects. I guess you'd have to count symbolatoms and
floatatoms too.
