data into Coll - display and edit via textedit
Hi,
I have the following start of a patch:
when press "1" on the keyboard a two number list with a index start at 0 is generated and saved into coll.(blue part of screenshot)
I would like that the values saved in Coll object will be presentable at the textedit object marked purple and will be able to be edited by that object.
so if I press 1 3 time and generate that list into Coll:
0, 0.5 1.5
1, 1.2 1.3
2, 2.0 1.8
when moving the integer number box at the purple area I will be able to see those numbers in the textedit object and if I stay on lets say index 2
and change 2.0 to 5.5 and 1.8 to 4.3 it will be change that index in the Coll object.
Does it make sense? How can I do so?
Thanks
This was in the coll :

You asked about int based index and float data ?
So what is that text in the coll about ?
--------------------------------------
here is patch doing what you asked for.
I would add a button to allow editing or
to confirm rewriting of the values.
Thanks for your patch.
I did not understand your question regarding the text in the coll, which text?
What do you mean a button to allow editing? something that will open a gate to pass the data from the textedit to coll? So it won't pass automatically ?
What is the delete $1 and remove $1 at the bottom left of your patch?
patch you posted has coll named textedit, without added "1" which would prevent it
from searching for the file named "textedit" and so it read
somewhere in max 6 search path something named textedit and filled the coll.
I thought it was embedded in the coll.
remove and delete are options to remove index if it is empty - no data.
Coll help file will tell you the difference.
With button I mean to fire replacing of data with entered values
by clicking on the button, instead of it getting replaced as soon as one types something.
Would avoid mistakes.
It is no big deal with 2 floats, but with longer strings ....
I would like to have the option to make a summing of the value from the coll object with another integer from outside and that summing to send back to coll to the specify index
something like this:
so if my coll looks like:
1, 10 10;
2, 20 20;
and I'm at index 1 and I'm adding first number that is 20 and then press bang , the coll at index 1 will be
1, 15 10; ((20 + 10) /2 = 15)
If I stay at index 1 and I'm adding second number that is 30 and then press bang, the coll at index 1 will be:
1, 15 20;
Does it make sense?
You have 2 options.
1- unpack the list and apply math to wished list members,
pack into list again and replace the index.
2- use nsub message to coll
example :
1, 10 20 30 40;
message nsub 1 1 33
will substitute item 1 in index 1 with 33
result:
1, 33 20 30 40;
how you extract list members and multiply them is your thing.
