Re: [PD] [msgfile] and [textfile] problems.

hi david, don't know why the error occurs, but maybe you could use the [until] object to solve it.

[bang( [r bang when msgfile printout is finished] | / [until] | [msgfile] |
[print] [send bang to right inlet of until when finished]

marius.

Recently, I sent a message complaining about the behavior of [textfile]. I learned about [msgfile] in the zexy library and thought it would solve my problems, but it has not.

I have distilled my complaints in the attached patch. 1.) [textfile] blows the stack on too low a number. The stack should be bigger. ...or maybe a startup option for Pd.

2.) [msgfile] doesn't seem to work at all when you barrage it with consecutive bangs.

Cheers, David
