Have you tried [write C:/tmp/textfile.txt] ?

I haven't run PD on Windows in years, so I'm not sure and have no way of testing.

Yeah, that's what I thought at first.
But, when I try to enter a back-slash '\' I get an error in the print
window that says "keycode 92: dropped"
Also the help file shows the slashed the way I wrote them, I just copied
what was in there.

Thanks again.

I would think that on Windows you have to do something like [write C:
\tmp\textfile.txt] but I'm not positive. Anyway, the problem I see is
the path to the file. /tmp/textfile.txt means nothing to Windows.

Thanks Pall --
I appreciate your responses.

Yes, I am on windows.
And, yes, I am trying to get PD to do this.
So far it looks like the right tool for the job, but I just downloaded

it today on the advice of a friend.
Together we've cobbled together the attached .pd file.
If you start the Metro (clicking the [1]) the atom number box gives me

the level from the line input (in this case a microphone.) But I can't

get the write to txt box to hook up properly, or to write to a file.

Oh, I just noticed you're on Windows and uh... as far as I can tell
you're not even talking about PD.

Hey All --
I'd appreciate any advice that you could offer on this.

Ultimately, what I'd want to do is just access the Line-In audio data

(I'm assuming it's somewhere in the Windows API?) and then write that

data (maybe constantly updated to a TXT file?) so I can access the
TXT

file from another program.

Basically, how to get numerical data (writing into a txt file)
representing the levels on a sound card?
