I'm trying to read in a file containing a sinusoidal analysis, to provide control for additive synthesis. My patch creates a set of arrays (tables) for the frequency and magnitude values for as many partials as are described in the analysis file (which is generated by a separate program) via messages like [; pd-graph1 array $1-freqArray 100 float 0( . $1 comes from a counter which is reset when I read in a new file.
But once I create an array, it never goes away, and I end up with an ever increasing number of tables named 0-freqArray etc.
If you only need one array, why not just create that statically (personally I prefer the [table] object for data, I don't need to see), then load its content with "read"/"write" messages?
Example:
[table MyArray 100]
[read /tmp/data1.txt( | [s MyArray]
[read /tmp/data2.txt( | [s MyArray]
...
The textfiles should just contain the array contents, one number per line. Check out the file 15.array.pd and 16.more.arrays.pd in the docs for more on table manipulation.
