Hi,
I'm trying to read text from textfiles in pd and display sentences with the text object in gem. However, I am having a few problems.
probably i should change the behaviour, so that lists would be interpreted as text too...
I'm reading sentences with textefile, which works well. I read lines in the textfile one by one, which I want to send as lists to the text3d object. What comes out of the textfile object is something like:
"list the dog is asleep"
which I need to convert to:
"text the dog is asleep"
How do I do that in pd?
Two corollary questions:
- is there an escape character that can be used in the message object,
or otherwise a way to store the "space" character in a text object as a list element?
no escaping (yet?) but you can use [l2s] from zexy. i hate to keep pointing at zexy, but (for obvious reasons) it has everything i need and what is missing in pd.
- is there a way to count the number of elements in a list?
[length] from (guess) zexy
