Dear Forum,
I am looking for a way to calculate a md5 hash on windows. On OSX and Linux i can use [shell] but on windows i have not success. [system] has no output, and [sys_gui] is for tcl only, which has no md5 algo build in, as far as i understand. Any Ideas?
best,
Jonas

				@Johnny-Mauser There were tcl MD5 tools....... in extended...... in the \pd\lib\tcllib1.13 folder. 
 But it might take some time to work out how to use them!
 Otherwise you need FCIV I think so as to use [system] .......... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/889768/how-to-compute-the-md5-or-sha-1-cryptographic-hash-values-for-a-file
 And then you can redirect the output to a file and then read it back into Pd.
 Probably.
 David.
