Re: [PD] pd console output within pd

hi, I am thinking of a possibility to get the console output back into pd. I have a remote patch on a client machine that can open video files and I want to send the success or error message to the server through osc. Is it possible to get the console output back into pd? is it possible to grab the console output in any other way? marius.

a quick hack using FUDI:

#!/bin/sh pd -verbose -stderr 2>&1 | while read line do echo "${line};" | pdsend 6666 localhost udp done

but of course it would be better to get the information you want directly instead of parsing the console output. e.g. the 2nd outlet of [pix_film] gives you some information of how well it succeeded to open a video file.
