I would like to get the filename of the wav file thats in the buffer and then set the writewave to use a part of that filename.

1. how do I get the name of the file in BufA?

2. how do I set the writewave accordingly.

I dont want to see any dialog boxes it can save to a specified folder on C:\specifiedfolder

I must be an idiot because I am looking at the buffer~ reference but writewave [symbol] isnt helping.

BufB~  writewave ="UNArpC1C2P35
BufC~  writewave ="UNArpC3C4P35
BufD~  writewave ="UNArpC5C6P35

Ive made little progress I have managed now to add a watchpoint and I can see the filename in the console, not much joy yet in being able to perform operations in VB I would use left, right or mid to get what I want.

Ive got the name now by using the right hand message inlet.

How do I get any characters left of C1 and another separate message right of C6 till the end?

My wav file in the buffer is a range of notes c1toC6... in I am just splitting the wav out, so in the example:

so when i split this wav: UNArpC1C6C60.wav

so in effect I need to replace the middle parts C1C6 and keep the outer parts.

my main patch is here as you can see the writewaves are not ready as I didnt know how.

UNArpC1C2C60.wav
UNArpC3C4C60.wav
UNArpC5C6C60.wav

I am guessing a regexpreplace exists too


How do I not have the spaces, I think its almost there except for the sapces and it prints two values one joined correctly the other not,

Final part is how do I get the patch to save the buffer with the new name I just created, to a set path. c:\users\peter\desktop\samplewavs\

I cannot see how to make the link to writewave so that writewave does not bring up a dialog box.

name of wav in buffer~ to writewave
