Speaking of bangs doing the job, I wish [tabread] had a right outlet that banged when you gave it an out of bound index. I was trying to make a vanilla version of [tabdump] and that would allow me to know when I've read the whole table without needing to know it's size explicitly.

Could an outlet be added to writesf~, outputing the number of samples written to disk?
The parent patch could then use this outlet to establish when writesf~ is ready to receive another "open".
I like the idea, but the outlet could just output a bang, when it is done, otherwise how do you determine that writesf~ has written all samples to disk?
I meant that it should just output the _total_ samples written after it has flushed to disk. This would be consistent with the behaviour of [soundfiler] I believe.
But yes, a bang would do the job.
best,

so far i know of are two options:
- being not entirely vanilla and use [expr size("$s1")] to query the
tablesize at runtime (without requiring the user to provide it manually)
- stay entirely vanilla with Pd-0.45 and use [array get] which is a
more powerful replacement for [tabdump]
most compiled objects within zexy are there because i haven't found a way to implement them in vanilla (some are there because a vanilla implementation ist simply to slow; and the rest is there for vaniyt reasons)
