- how can I build up a message from parts? for instance, the
[writesf~] object responds to an "open" message with a single argument, like: "open /tmp/output1.wav" but I want to be able to iterate, and supply "output2.wav", "output3.wav" etc.. I have looked at the docs for the [pack]
object,
but I'm not sure that it can receive messages as input and pack
them,
or output it's result as a message - is that correct? am I
thinking
about this in a wrong way?
[makefilename output%s.wav]----[open $1(----[writesf~]
- how can I parse a line of text such as: "output1.wav 440 500
1500"
that I get from a [textfile] [bang] into its constituent parts (preserving the appropriate types)?
[unpack] or [route] depending on what you want to do.
- (related to the above) is parsing a string different from
parsing a
list?
Yes, you use different objects. For list parsing you can use [pack], [unpack], [route], etc. There are some objects for parsing symbols (what strings are called in pd) but I don't know them off hand.
Also, there is a python object and a tcl object, so those could be handy for parsing..hc
