Hi Adam,
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do with that patch, but if
you're having trouble with file names in windows, use the following chain of
objects:
[bang(
|
[savepanel]
|
[write $1(
|
[textfile]
In this case, "bang" and "write $1" are messages (created with <ctrl-2>), and
"savepanel" and "textfile" are objects (<ctrl-1>). When you connect them
together, click the bang message at the top and you will get the standard "save
as" dialog box. The filename will be automatically formatted, so you don't
have to worry about typing in backslashes or whatever.
You can right click and choose "help" to get info on any pd object (as well as
messages, arrays, gui's, etc).
