Hello there! I was working on a patch involving [until] and (didn't realize) I didn't have the bang set up correctly to stop it causing pd to freeze up (not the first time). My problem is that there is also a [loadbang] connected to it which now locks up my patch/pd when I try to open it. Is there ANY possible way to get in and disconnect the [loadbang] so that I can actually open the patch up to fix my [until] problem? I don't know much about writing or working the back end text code (that shows up when I select a patch to open in Finder), but my guess is that's where I would need to start? Any insight would be greatly appreciated as right now the patch is unopenable. This is my first post and I would like to thank everyone involved in this forum. It's a wonderful resource!

So I've figured out how to access the text code through text edit and I'm assuming I now need to located the loadbang culprit and DELETE IT!

@Harmonoman [until] needs to be told until....... when.
It should be started with a message like [150(.... to it's left inlet..... or an infinite loop results.
See it's help file.

BUT..... it can be stopped with a bang to the right inlet.

@whale-av Yeah I'll definitely need to start including that in when I use [until] Great idea. Thanks!

@Harmonoman yeah just open the patch in text edit cmd+f and search for loadbang (or until) an delete the whole line. That should work. but better make a copy of the patch before.

@Johnny-Mauser or change to bang to preserve patch integrity
