Why is this happening?
Apr 17 2008 | 3:13 pm
I'm working on a patch for recording samples. I wanted to be able to have spaces in the file name so I was using [sprintf "HardDrive:/Users/vze1mk7d/Desktop/%s %s.aif"] to accomplish this. The first %s would be the file name and the second %s would be the file number. This works fine while working on the patch. But every time I quit MaxMSP and reopen the patch, the backslashes in front of the quotes disappear which makes it impossible for [sfrecord~] to create the file. Maybe I'm doing something wrong so I included the file if that helps. Any help would be appreciated.

- Apr 17 2008 | 3:20 pmWell I see that the backslashes didn't make it into my pasted version even though they were there when I copied it so now I am even more perplexed.
- Apr 17 2008 | 4:01 pmHi. Instead of using backslash and quotes, you should use "symout" option for sprintf, to be sure it outputs a symbol:[sprintf symout myfolder%ld %s.aif] should work.Ciao.

Never underestimate matters of aestehetics, and never compromise them either... That way you also force yourself to learn how to deal with it, which is a good excersise...Stefan-- Stefan Tiedje------------x------- --_____-----------|-------------- --(_|_ ----|-----|-----()------- -- _|_)----|-----()-------------- ----------()--------www.ccmix.com
