Hi Claude adn list,
Back again with my spelling function written in lua. I've got a problem
in the terminal sometimes (pretty often in fact) :
error: lua: error in dispatcher:
[string "lspell"]:13: echo fhdkq | /sw/bin/ispell -a | grep \\*: Too
many open files
when using my object "lspell.pd_lua", feeding the inlet with [symbol
fhdkq( for example.
When this error appears the object is not working. This error occurs in
groups : appearing for 5-20 seconds and disappearing for 10 - 60 seconds.
What exactly is this error?
I guess this is a kind of overflow of the usage lua can make of the
terminal, but I was wandering if there is some workaround technique to
avoid this?
Has someone an idea of the time one must wait between two usage of the
same object?
My current code is:
local LSpell = pd.Class:new():register("lspell")
function LSpell:initialize(name, atoms)
self.outlets = 1
self.inlets = 1
return true
end
function LSpell:in_1_symbol(s)
local word = s
local cmd = "echo " .. word .. " | /sw/bin/ispell -a | grep \\*"
local p = assert(io.popen(cmd))
local result = p:read("*all")
if(string.len(result) ~= 0) then
self:outlet(1, "symbol", {word})
end
end
Thanks in advance,
Nicolas
