Cheers, yes your patch was returning the right path. It did work.
Before asking I was looking into the message in pd console : 'pd-gui' connecting to 'pd' on localhost 41969 & I thought there was a way to use this port for opening the gui.

Something is unclear to me.
I'm on linux, with command line, my path to pd-gui is /usr/local/lib/pd/tcl/pd-gui.tcl
So the message is " vis /usr/local/lib/pd/tcl/pd-gui.tcl "
no. it's "vis /usr/local/lib/pd/".
this is what my patch should have produced.
In order to send this to pd, Should I use 'pdsend' and create a netreceive in my patch ? ( this worked fine)
yes, that's one way. another is to listen on the serial port for a given event. or, whatever.
but [netreceive] is a good start :-)
Or find the port "pd" already opened ?
there's none.
