I don't know what the most desirable behavior would be... the 'bang' is to indicate that there's nothing there. I don't know if this is less or more trouble to dealwith in the majority of cases. In my imagination at least, one would query the text for the number of lines if one wanted to.
Anyhow it's been that way for a while so probably not wise to change it now. cheers Miller On Wed, May 11, 2016 at 12:38:20PM +0200, [email protected] wrote: > [text define -k kopie] > against my expectations, i do get output on the first outlet when the > line-number is out-of-range. > [print] says it's a bang. > > is there a specific reason for this behaviour? > 'normally' there would be a bang on the righthand outlet like in [text > sequence] and e.g.[textfile] object. > > with the present behaviour it seems necessary to have an extra object to > take care of this first outlet bang. > > rolf > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
