how can i write a patch which modifies another patch on disk and 

saves it afterwards, in a runtime application?

- the thispatcher object 'write' message only works in Max but is 

- and in javascript, the patcher object does not have a 'write' 

method... this is a pity, all the power of javascript for generating 

patches with some other patch but no save/write method.

how can i write a patch which modifies another patch on disk and 
saves it afterwards, in a runtime application?
i don't see any solution for this as:
- the thispatcher object 'write' message only works in Max but is 
disabled in the runtime mode;
- and in javascript, the patcher object does not have a 'write' 
method... this is a pity, all the power of javascript for generating 
patches with some other patch but no save/write method.

so...?

Not sure how you would do this if you need to modify an existing patch.

But if your app can create the patch you want to modify through one of 

the scripting mechanisms, then all you need to do is track the steps 

taken to create the patch and write those out. Think of your runtime 

app as an interpreter for the code you are storing.
