Re: [PD] Pd META: Author/Help Patch Authors

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Here's my data:
tags - pure data, frequency modulation, synthesis

It is Pd, so I think we should at least make an effort to make things easy to parse in Pd. I tried your parser using data that is probably closer to what we might use, and it didn't work at all. If someone can get a Pd parser working that can handle the commas well, then I would be OK using commas in the meta data format.

But why do you want to parse pd files with pd?  The only prototype I

I think that in practice, the commas will cause problems,
since Pd
interprets a comma as a message separator.  In my
experience, at least.

Do you have a working example of reading from textfile and
doing
something with the text with commas in it?

To parse, just use [sel,]
Same for semicolon.
Also works when reading from [textfile]

Cool, could you post an example of parsing commas

in Pd? If

its easy to parse the commas from a 'text' object,

then that

would solve the tags debate.

I need to add a keyword to pd META for the

(BTW, it's quite easy to parse commas in Pd.)
