On unix related systems, printing the output of [savepanel] will show
you the path to the file. Perhaps that will show you how you can
format the path to work in [write(
[savepanel]
|
[print]
will print it to the pd window.

Thanks Jonathan,
This works as you noted below, however I need this to be an automated
process.
At least a couple of times per second, writing one numeric value to
the
same text file over and over again.
Then I can query it as needed and it will return the VU level at that
moment.

This concept seems simpler than using terminal, as I'm not really
familiar with how that will work.

Hi Adam,
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do with that patch,
but
if you're having trouble with file names in windows, use the following
chain of objects:
[bang(
|
[savepanel]
|
[write $1(
|
[textfile]
In this case, "bang" and "write $1" are messages (created with
<ctrl-2>), and "savepanel" and "textfile" are objects (<ctrl-1>).
When
you connect them together, click the bang message at the top and you
will get the standard "save as" dialog box. The filename will be
automatically formatted, so you don't have to worry about typing in
backslashes or whatever.
You can right click and choose "help" to get info on any pd object (as
well as messages, arrays, gui's, etc).

Date: Saturday, April 4, 2009, 1:13 AM 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.

Yeah, that's what I thought at first.
But, when I try to enter a back-slash '\'

Thanks again.

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.

I appreciate your responses.
Yes, I am on windows.
And, yes, I am trying to get PD to do this.
So far it looks like the right tool for the job,
but I just
downloaded
it today on the advice of a friend.
Together we've cobbled together the attached
.pd file.
If you start the Metro (clicking the [1]) the atom
number box
gives me
the level from the line input (in this case a
microphone.) But I
can't
get the write to txt box to hook up properly, or
to write to a file.

Oh, I just noticed you're on Windows and uh...
as far as I can tell
you're not even talking about PD.

Hey All --
I'd appreciate any advice that you could
offer on this.
Ultimately, what I'd want to do is just
access the Line-In audio
data
(I'm assuming it's somewhere in the
Windows API?) and then write
that
data (maybe constantly updated to a TXT file?)
so I can access the
TXT
file from another program.
Basically, how to get numerical data (writing
into a txt file)
representing the levels on a sound card?
