Pd:
I am writing a sequencer using Pd and have bumped into the following problem. I would like to be able to position the textfile object to start playback from a certain record. The approach I have taken works for small files, but breaks down for large files. I've abstracted the behavior into the attached patch. textfileBug.pd
I suspect that it reflects some inadequacy in my understanding of Pd, but just in case it is a bug, here are my system specs.
Pd 0.41 Fedora Core 4 64-bit AMD
Thanks, dP

you need to add "-fPIC" in the makefile to the compiler options !

Thanks for the tip. It works now.

...
checking "ms-bitfields"... yes checking "pd>=0.37"... yes
now that is very weird. i am pretty sure that zexy's configure does perform a check for "-fPIC". to be precise, here on my machine this check is performed right after ms-bitfield, the corresponding output lines look like:
checking whether gcc accepts "-mms-bitfields"... yes checking whether gcc accepts "-fPIC"... yes checking whether gcc accepts "-mfpmath=sse -msse"... yes checking "pd>=0.37"... yes
where did you get zexy from? from CVS? or is it a source release from pd.iem.at ? i suggest using the CVS version (zexy is pretty much stable: i seldom add features, most changes are bug-fixes and i usually forget to make a new release after such minor changes)

hi david
i had a look at your patch, but i didn't come to a solution, respectively i wasn't able to figure out what the problem exactly is.
however, i think, what you want to achieve could be implemented much easier, particularly easier to read. what makes it very difficult to read, is the deep deepness of the message structure, though at first glance it doesn't look like a very complicated patch. for example: before the right tree of a [trigger] is finished, it's 'banged' again, so that it is triggered several times, before the left tree starts the execution. my mind is far too less capable of beeing aware, what the actual state on each step really is.
i didn't make an example patch (ask me, if you want me to do so), but i have some ideas for another approach. i think i would 'control' the [textfile] with an [until]-object. when triggered, [until] keeps firing 'bang's until you stop it. send the bangs to [textfile], so that on each bang it's going one line further. you could parse the output of [textfile], that when the message, you are looking for, is coming out [textfile], you could stop [until], and you have the 'cue' at the desired position.
hope that helps...

I am writing a sequencer using Pd and have bumped into the following problem. I would like to be able to position the textfile object to start playback from a certain record. The approach I have taken works for small files, but breaks down for large files. I've abstracted the behavior into the attached patch. textfileBug.pd
I suspect that it reflects some inadequacy in my understanding of Pd, but just in case it is a bug, here are my system specs.

In the file big.txt, the process stops before it reaches the "control
mark" record. I think that there may be a limited amount of
computation allowed in a control cycle. Does Pd just abort the
control cycle if it runs out of time? I tried this also with audio
turned off and saw the same behavior.
Perhaps you are not able to reproduce the behavior? If you click
[read small.txt( then [4( you should see:
cue: This is mark 4
If you click [read big.txt( the [4( you will see something else and
that is wrong.
however, i think, what you want to achieve could be implemented much easier, particularly easier to read. what makes it very difficult to read, is the deep deepness of the message structure, though at first glance it doesn't look like a very complicated patch. for example: before the right tree of a [trigger] is finished, it's 'banged' again, so that it is triggered several times, before the left tree starts the execution. my mind is far too less capable of beeing aware, what the actual state on each step really is.
i didn't make an example patch (ask me, if you want me to do so),
but i have some ideas for another approach. i think i would 'control' the [textfile] with an [until]-object. when triggered, [until] keeps
firing 'bang's until you stop it. send the bangs to [textfile], so that on each bang it's going one line further. you could parse the output of [textfile], that when the message, you are looking for, is coming out [textfile], you could stop [until], and you have the 'cue' at the desired position.hope that helps...

hi david
i had a look at your patch, but i didn't come to a solution, respectively i wasn't able to figure out what the problem exactly is.
In the file big.txt, the process stops before it reaches the "control
mark" record. I think that there may be a limited amount of
computation allowed in a control cycle. Does Pd just abort the
control cycle if it runs out of time? I tried this also with audio
turned off and saw the same behavior.
i don't think, that pd just aborts a control-cycle silently. if so, then it would print at least a message like 'stack overflow'.
Perhaps you are not able to reproduce the behavior? If you click
[read small.txt( then [4( you should see:cue: This is mark 4
i totally saw your problem, but i am not able to sort everything out, so that i can be sure to understand, what really happens.
If you click [read big.txt( the [4( you will see something else and
that is wrong.
how can you be sure, that it is wrong? possibly your mind is capaple of much more, but i tend to believe, that it's a fault of the patch, not of pd. but why make it complicate, when it could be so clear and easy?

Well, wrong in the sense that it is not the answer I want. Of
course, the problem could be in my
patch. I would be very interested to see your solution, for my
education. Idiomatic Pd is not natural to me as I have been
programming in lazy functional languages for more than 20 years!
I should mention though that it seems the [msgfile] object in the
zexy library looks like it will do exactly what I want very directly
with its [goto n( message. (I'll just make a table translating marks
to lines.)
Thanks for your help.
