[PD] [shell] creates line breaks randomly in big lists.

2008-11-03 Thread Martin Schied 

Hello, dear list!


I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, Pd version 0.40.3-extended, pentium M 1600MHz, 
currently trying to build a file handling patch using [shell] and a 
message to it: [ls mypath/*.jpg(


everything works fine with 20 or less files in the folder. In folders 
containing approximately 200 files, some of the resulting lines become 
divided by line breaks, for example:


print: Szenografie3/manufactum/ausgewaehlt/6608.jpg
print: Szenografie3/manufactum/ausgewaehlt/6610.jpg
print: Szenografie3/manufactu
print: m/ausgewaehlt/6611.jpg
print: Szenografie3/manufactum/ausgewaehlt/6614.jpg
print: Szenografie3/manufactum/ausgewaehlt/6615.jpg

the cut appears at different positions and different filenames when 
sending the message again. In some cases a filename is distributed on 3 
lines.


Is there any way to detect those line breaks within pd? Any objects for 
string manipulations or regular expressions?


Thanks,
Martin

man stty

Each call to [shell] opens a new tty

It could be an issue that's a combination of column sizes
and EOL characters.

Because of buffering problems [shell] can be an unreliable
tool. If you can use pdlua or pyext to write a listing external
you will have more control and more consistent results.
