Hi,
is there any chance to use curly braces (ASCII characters 123, 125) in pd? I initially wanted to use them in a message which I would like to send via OSC, but maybe there is another possibility to generate these? would be great to know, if so.. thanks!
Paul
you can try:
[123( | [makefilename %c]

hi, thanks for your reply - but that locks up pd. seems that there are reserved characters pd uses itself (got this from the makefilename help) anyhow I can live with that:) was just wondering what is happening
thx

it only locks Pd if you are printing the character via pd-gui (either print to console or via a symbolbox) that's also the reason why it is prohibited to type curly braces in Pd.
the quick fix is to trust that curly braces are created with the [makefilename] trick and don't display them (and if you must, use "-stderr" and print them to...stderr)

curly braces are reserved in tcl (the language pd-gui is written in). displaying a "{" will make pd-gui wait for a matching "}", and while it does so, it will hang.

great! thanks for the explanation what's going on
- right, before I was choosing to print after [makefilename] and it did hang up again
so I will try how I could make the trick useable!

I have always thought (and still do) that this is a really bad excuse. As in any other proper language one can always escape reserved characters, same in TCL. On the other hand, the TCL language makes my eyes bleed, so i can't try to fix it. gr~~~

definitely. i'd say it _is_ a bug, and forbidding curly braces is not a fix but a workaround. (btw, with Pd-0.43 i now _can_ [print] curly braces (they show up as "{", though, so it's only halfway...)
On the other hand, the TCL language makes my eyes bleed, so i can't try to fix it.
