Hello all,
I need to create a textfile from inside an external and I need to give the
computer a path with a message like:
path /home/path/file.txt
I am therefore creating a method for path with:
class_addmethod(testtext_class, (t_method)testtext_path,
gensym("path"), A_GIMME, 0);
Or should I use A_DEFSYMBOL ?
But then how can I read the atom inside the external?
I am using:
void testtext_path(t_testtext *x, t_atom *s){
char teststring[1000];
atom_string(s, teststring, 1000);
post(teststring);
}
but then I get the following printout:
consistency check failed: atom_string
333333@ÿÿÿÿs
I'm not sure where to move with this. anybody has any suggestions?
best,
J
Here's the info for atom_string:
atom_string
void atom_string(t_atom *a, char *buf, unsigned int bufsize);
Converts an atom a into a C-string buf. The memory to this char-Buffer has to
be reserved manually and its length has to be declared in bufsize.
