Hi guys,

I'm getting back into js again to scrape data on some of my patches for a sort of adaptive master control patch.

Anyway the first problem I've come into is in the code below.

From my understanding (providing my patch has a pattrstorage in it, which it does) the variable 'thePattr' should be assigned to the return value of the 'findPattr' function surely? Unless I've misunderstood something about returns.

I seem to get undefined.

However, if I put 'post("pattrName " + a.varname);post();' before returning in the 'findPattr' function I get the scripting name I'm looking for.

Any ideas?

function getPattr(){ var thePattr = this.patcher.apply(findPattr);

post("thePatt " + thePatt.varname);post(); }

function findPattr(a){ if (a.maxclass === "pattrstorage") { return a; } }
