Hello,

When a try to read with "textfile" a text file name that doesn't exist (e.g. wer.txt), it (of course) returns to errors messages at Pd main window:

error: wert.txt: can't open
error: wert.txt: read failed

My question is: can I handle these "errors messages" as an output message (bang, etc.) in my patch (for instance, to read a default text file)?

Thank you in advance!

was all I found about it .. although very helpfull, it is out-of-date and incomplete (as it doesn't mention methods such as 'click' or 'cut')

Does anyone has a complete version of PureData's patchfile format?

Thanks!!

Hello,

I just learned that it is possible to use message box to create all sort of boxes such as: objects (obj), message boxes (msg), and so.. as well as connect and disconnecting them (w/ methods: 'connect' and 'disconnect') and I learned it by the word of mouth (once it is not written in the tutorial) and checkins on the PD script w/ a text editor... This largely expands the already great potentials of PD... so, my questions is:

1. does anyone know, or has any documentation with ALL methods that can be used in a message box the create, select, delete objects, supatches, etc....? (specially the DELETE thing, once it is not written in the *.pd script)

Thank you!

the attached file may describe better my question.. please take a look.

Thx,

ops... I just found a documentation at:

https://www.puredata.org/community/pdwiki/PdInternalMessages
