I'm interpretting lists as filenames with spaces in it. Its a hack, I know, but it works well for the most part. So something like:
[this contains 20 rows.csv( Would give me "this contains 20.0 rows.csv" in tclpd. Perhaps just the proc pd::strip_selectors could do the %g formatting. That's what I'm using in tclfile/exists currently, and would like to do it in the whole library. .hc On Nov 12, 2011, at 5:45 PM, mescali...@gmail.com wrote: > the t_atom -> Tcl_Obj converasion happens in tcl_class.c > using the pdatom_to_tcl function (defined in tcl_typemap.c) > since pd has only one numeric type (float), the conversion is as follows: > > switch (input->a_type) { > [...] > case A_FLOAT: { > tcl_t_atom[0] = Tcl_NewStringObj("float", -1); > tcl_t_atom[1] = Tcl_NewDoubleObj(input->a_w.w_float); > break; > [...] > > so, it gets converted to a [internal] double in tcl (hence, any number > appears as a floating point number, integers as well). > note that in tcl, in addition to DoubleObj, there are IntObj, LongObj, > WideIntObj. > would you use those? > or what you propose? > actually there is no formatting involved, 1.0 it's just how a float appears > by default in tcl e.g. when you print it. > > > Il 12/11/2011 06:27, Hans-Christoph Steiner ha scritto: >> Just playing around with tclpd, pd::strip_selector makes working with the >> lists nice and easy in Tcl.
