Hi Fred,
This functionality can be created in any proper language, but it is hard
to create a generic solution based on your example. For instance, how do
you know it will be all the lines except the ones you specify, and do
you really want all the objects at 100,100 ?
Well, the purpose would be to know because the code makes it happen. Just
like you know that [expr if($f1 >= 0, 1, -1)] gives out a 1 for numbers
above and 0, and -1 for numbers below.
Only if you have a large number of patches with the same structure and
object order it is worthwhile to create a program like you propose to
patch them. Otherwise a proper code-editor will be as time-efficient in
changing the patches.
If in this case you just want the [expr] and [hradio] at 100,100 for a
number of patches a sed* script will do...
Creating a script to convert patches costs effort, so you want it as
generic as possible. If it can be used only once, a code editor is a
better way.
With one single patch I have here, there are 8805 lines of code. Is it
easier to change this by hand than to find a general solution? And if I
change a couple of objects and want to try this again, should I redo it
every time?

*) sed is a unix tool just like grep, only more flexible... Maybe you
should try to install cygWin, then you get most unix tools on Windows.
However, prepare for a steep learning curve...
Success,
Fred Jan
P.S. first non-optimized attempt:
cat jmmmp.pd | sed -e 's/#X obj [1-9][0-9]* [1-9]expr/' -e 's/#X obj
[1-9][0-9]* [1-9][0-9]* expr/#X obj 100 100 hradio/'
I thank you for this, but I think you didn't understand the purpose: I'm
looking for a general tool. If I needed to edit 5 lines, it would have
been much faster to do it by hand than to write a mail bothering people
about it.
Best,
Joao
