On Fri, 3 Apr 2009, Pall Thayer wrote: Oh, I just noticed you're on Windows but the ">>" redirection operator that you use does exist in MSDOS and compatible... I've used it in the eighties. I would think that on Windows you have to do something like [write C:\tmp\textfile.txt] but I'm not positive. Anyway, the problem I see is the path to the file. /tmp/textfile.txt means nothing to Windows. Have you tried [write C:/tmp/textfile.txt] ? The slashes do work with the Windows API, though they might not work with the Windows shell and commandline arguments in general. The slash is reserved for options, but is reused in the Windows API as an alternative to the backslash, for slightly greater UNIX compatibility. Then "/tmp/textfile.txt" goes in the toplevel folder "tmp" of the current drive, so, this is a drive-relative path, which is an intermediate between an absolute path and a relative path. Oh, and you'll probably have to make sure that a folder named tmp actually exists and can be written to by anybody. AFAIR, this would be c:/windows/temp ?... that's what I recall as a value for the $TEMP envvar, either in DOS or some UNIX<->Windows compat thing or both... _ _ __ ___ _ _ _ ... | Mathieu Bouchard - tél:+1.514.383.3801, Montréal, Québec___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Yeah, that's what I thought at first.

Have you tried [write C:/tmp/textfile.txt] ? I haven't run PD on Windows in years, so I'm not sure and have no way of testing.
