Hi there,

I want to make an auto-update function for a project, so everytime my patch is loaded, it checks a list of updated abstractions on my serveur and replace the local ones.

I use http_get abstraction for that, so it downloads the updated .pd files from my server into textfile, in order to replace the old one on the local computer...

So:

[http://myserver/myabs.pd(
|
[httpget]
|

|
| [write myabs.pd(
| /
[textfile]

Everything looks easy untill there, but when I write or print the content of textfile after a, I can only see the last part of my patch! So something is troncated somewhere... is there any alternative for that?

Thanks!

have you tried 'add' instead of 'set'? I think that since the lines are terminated by semicolons pd is interpreting it as multiple lists

So obvious! I was using set because it just clear the content at the same time and replace by a new one...

Thanx sebfumaster!
