I copy-pasted parts of a patch on a wikipage in a uncompressed format:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Exportieren/Benutzer:Marktakeshi

1. download the content of the page via jit.uldl into a jit.textfile,

2. filter out everything except the code,

3. add some predefined patcher prefixes (starting with {"patcher" :...})

 , I tried to extract everything between the xml-tags "" and using [jit.str.regexp]. However, I didn't figure out how to do it. It seems like regexp doesn't work if there are linebreaks.

I've tried a workaround by transforming the whole thing line by line into symbols and using a [regexp] and [gate] to filter out the code and save it into a [text]. However, then all spaces at the beginning of a line got somehow cut away:

2. Even if I manage to extract the code, how can I prepend the patcher-prefixes {"patcher" :...}) and save the whole thing as a functional .maxpat.file?

Would be great, if some [jit.str.regexp] and [jit.textfile] expert could help me!

=== Situation ===

Now, I would like to

2. filter out everything except the code,
3. add some predefined patcher prefixes (starting with {"patcher" :...})
4. save everything as a .maxpat-file
5. open it in a bpatcher

=== Complication ===
So far, I have two problems:

1. Downloading the code from http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Exportieren/Benutzer:Marktakeshi , I tried to extract everything between the xml-tags "" and  using [jit.str.regexp]. However, I didn't figure out how to do it. It seems like regexp doesn't work if there are linebreaks.

to save, you can use "write" command to [text], if you get it in there formatted correctly. The line breaks etc. could be a pain, as are the prepending commands... you might need some backslashes if the characters are reserved... like the almighty semicolon or comma.

Not sure if what you're doing is actually possible though. It *should* be, but I remember trying some similar stuff when attempting to create an "encryption" program for Max patches, and it wouldn't quite get there. Though I wanted it to eventually work from the Runtime, which is a different story.

Figured it (1) out by myself: if you put the expression within / /s, then the . (dot) applies also for linebreaks :-)
