jsarguments is the array of the js/jsui objects arguments not the function's arguments. You can get those using the arguments array. Have a look at the arrayfromargs method as well if you want to convert the arguments to a real array.

really having trouble locating enough information to help me translate inlet messages into strings. So far I have this, I just want to replace prepend and folder variables with inlet message variables. The first inlet is currently a filepath+name such as C:/test/folder/something. I switch / to ~ to make it easier to work with, then convert ~ to / and \\ at the end for my various path requirements

---code tag isn't working--- inlets = 3; outlets = 3;

prepend = "sine_" folder = "processed"

function anything() { a = arrayfromargs(messagename, arguments);

string = a.join(); outlet(0,string);

string = a.join().replace(/,/g," ").replace(/set/,''); string = string.replace(/\//g,'~');

open = string.replace(/(.*)/,"open $1").replace(/~/g,'/') save = string.replace(/(.*~)(.*)/,"open $1"+prepend+"$2").replace(/~/g,'/') mkdir = string.replace(/(.*)~.*/,"mkdir $1~"+folder+"~").replace(/~/g,'\\\\')

outlet(0,open); outlet(1,save); outlet(2,mkdir); } ---code tag isn't working---

ok found my first clue

if you send a message to js, something like [myMESSAGE]

then you need this in js

function myMESSAGE() { do stuff }

and if you send [myMESSAGE yes maybe no]

then you need

function myMESSAGE(a,b,c) { outlet(0,a); outlet(1,b); outlet(2,c); }

and in each outlet you will get yes maybe no

alright, here's the new code. The only thing left I'd like to do is name the inlets/outlets. Is there any syntax for that?

inlets = 1; outlets = 3;

function set(fullpath,prepend,folder) {

fname = fullpath.replace(/.*\/(.*\.wav)/,"$1"); fpath = fullpath.replace(/(.*\/).*\.wav/,"$1"); newpath = fpath.replace(/\//g,'\\\\') + folder.replace(/\//g,'\\\\');

outlet(0,fullpath); outlet(1,fpath+folder+prepend+fname); outlet(2,newpath); }
