hello, I think -batch is not helping here and -stderr is what you where looking for.
I don't know how "not to start pd" , but you can close it as soon as it start with : -send "pd quit" on linux, this is doing what you need : pd -noprefs -stderr -listdev -send "pd quit" 2> /tmp/pd_listdev.txt cheers c Le 15/07/2016 21:48, oliver a écrit :
hi, dear list ! i tried to use the -listdev option of pd.exe to get a list of available audio and midi devices, and to write the output into a textfile for later "grep" usage. here's what i wrote on the command line (w32): pd.exe -batch -listdev > D:\Temp\devices.txt the problem i encountered is, that PD always gets started, and the output of "-listdev" is written into PD's console window but not into the textfile i declared. "D:\Temp\devices.txt" exists, but is empty, and an instance of PD was started. do you know a way to just get this specific information without actually starting PD ? P.S.: i know about the "mediasettings" external, but i really would like to do this on the command line, WITHOUT actually starting PD. thanks oliver _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
