D'oh. I'm sorry, it's the other way round :-D The function you need is
sys_unbashfilename()

Ok the problem is simple: tcl accepts only path separated with ‘/‘ in windows
but sys_bashfilename doesn’t convert the (adequately) created windows
separator. So I’ll do a character substitutor.
Objvously the code is free and online so people can have a look or I can post
here if that helps

Generally, Pd only uses forward slashes as file path seperators. You can use
sys_bashfilename() on the path generated by tempnam().

Hello
In an external I use the superb tmpnam(x) to generate a temp file path to use
and delete. All is good then… for MacOS and Linux that is! In Windows, the code
in C does create a file but when I try to pass it to TCL to open there, like in
the amazing ELSE’s pic, I can’t - the inverted backslash are deleted. I tried
also, like in else, using open_canvas to no avail.
Now I tried to use on windows the ELSE’s pic to troubleshoot and it seems I
have 2 problems:
#1:
- PIC will accept the file I create when it is on the Documents folder, but not
the exact same file in the temp folder created by tmpnam. So this will work:
open C:/Users/pa/Documents/tmp.0.8eDtGO
But not this:
open C:/Users/pa/appData/Local/tmp.0.8eDtGO
===
#2
- PIC will only accept with straight slashes /
C:\Users\pa\Documents\tmp.0.8eDtGO
Won’t work but
C:/Users/pa/Documents/tmp.0.8eDtGO’
will
===
So I wonder if there are pearls of wisdom on temp file generation for cross OS
compile. At the moment, if I use the PIC hack of going through canvas_open I
get a ‘void’ name, and if I don’t I get errors due to the backslash not being
digested by TCL (it seems - the error is as above)

Ps Alexandre, without you and your code, this object would not exist, so
