[PD] how to modify path in open message
Hello, I have made the script for recording wave files using 16 channels. I am using writesf~ with the message open /Users/tania/Desktop/ch1.wav My question is that can there be a quick way of just changing one message box so that If I change the destination directory for files, it can be changed for all. Or is there a way of seperating the destination file path and file name into two seperate blocks and combining them later in open message block So that by just sending a bang, I will get the the changes made in all blocks regards, tania ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Assuming your directory and filename come in a list for example generated with [pack s s]. Then If you're using pd-0.40 and up you can just use a message box: [open $1/$2( If you're still on an older version of Pd, you can use [makefilename] in two steps as shown in attached patch (or the help file) Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ __footils.org_ __goto10.org__ double-makefilename.pd Description: application/puredata ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
