reading files without dialog box?
I'm making a patch that pulls reads data into a coll every hour from a server.
Can I set a timer in Max that works on regular time and not milliseconds?
And, more importantly, can I specify a filepath (the server pushes data to .txt files every hour) for the patch to import from without a dialog box? since this will be an automated installation it needs to run continuously without anybody manually selecting files every hour. Thanks!
Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.
you could use the [date] object, which can give the current time, and when the hour changes, trigger a "read myPath/myFile.txt" type message.
Something like this:
