Hi list,

I was wondering if there has been any documentation or though on the possibility of using common shell commands through pd, such as mkdir, cp, and ls (mkdir, copy, dir for windows users).

I used the shell object, and it works very well. I even used it to execute remote shell commands with ssh. The best way is to program scripts with arguments (sh, perl, python,ruby,etc) and execute the scripts from a shell object. Under Windows, I guess it's possible to do the same tricks if PD is started from a Cygwin bash script. Experiment...

there is the [shell] object (i think ggee) which lets you execute shell commands on linux at least...

The purpose is that I want an easy way to store recorded controller information for playback/automation, and directories seem to be a nice way to organize things. I parsed the list a tad but couldn't find anything useful. If anyone has any idea or information pertaining, thanks in advance.

There also is Thomas Grill's "pool" external, which provides a filesystem like internal storage container, where you can store key/value pairs and lots more.

It saves its contents to a real file or in xml-format.
