Hello there,

Is there any way of grabbing error messages from the pd window, like [error] in Max/MSP?

(Reason in this particular case: when trying to load a aif into a table, nothing happens except a format-related error message in pd. I would like to take some action when this happens. Any other workaround suggestions?)

I wish. As of now, I think you're stuck having to detect the error in the patch. And I think you could do it in your case. After you load a file in a table, [soundfiler] should spit out the number of samples loaded. If it doesn't, something went wrong.

[read sound.wav array1(

[t b a]

[sel 0]
