Hi,
is it possible to do the following in Pd?
- clear the console with some command sent to [s pd] (not with the
shortcut)
- is there any object that allows to create a folder (in all OSs)? I
wanted to save files to a non-existing folder, but Pd doesn't create one.
Thanks as usual,
João

pd isn't really aware of the console, so you need to send a message to the GUI:
[menu_clear_console( | [hcs/sys_gui]
- is there any object that allows to create a folder (in all OSs)? I wanted to save files to a non-existing folder, but Pd doesn't create one.
You could probably use Tcl's mkdir and send it to the GUI:
[file mkidr /path/to/mynewfolder( | [hcs/sys_gui]

this works, but only if I give a complete path, not a relative one. I can
get the patche's current path with tof/path, but I read that tof isn't
included in the next versions? Is it possible to get the current path
through other methods?

[echo %CD%( -- [popen] ?
"error: popen: no method for 'echo'"
maybe popen only works in unix? or is something wrong in the window$
external?

strange, it works here...
It literally opens the commandline (cmd), which you see flashing by. I was using current (give or take a few months) pd-extended, and [popen] that came with it... it's working in Linux too. Tim
very strange. I'm using the latest stable 0.42 in XP. I also tried the
newest .43 build, and doesn't work as well.
Since this is for someone who is only in windows, I won't try it in linux.

tof is included in Pd-extended as long as it doesn't break. It doesn't currently have a maintainer.

I wonder if that works on Windows? Anyone tested it? Someone could probably make [mkdir] object quite quickly using pdlua or tclpd.

I just tested it on WinXP. I could create a directory in the folder of the patch but not a subdirectory. Not sure if it has anything to do with the slash vs. backslash issue.

Ah, true, I didn't think of that.
I found a workaround though (see attachment), but it's getting absurdly complicated for just doing mkdir...

Thats working now, Tim.
I did see already that the [loadbang] was missing. However, working with absolute directories gets really complicated this way.
Especially if you want to have the same Patch or abstraction working on several platforms. I would suspect this version might only work on windows correctly?
