hi,

I am trying to make a sample-crippling patch, similar to B07.sampler.pd. After writing the path of the audio file, that needs to be cripped and adding an array, Pd gives back an error: Files/pd/doc/sound/nikon.wav: no such table.

How should the table be inroduced so that Pd recognizes it? Maybe I have to set the correct size of the array. How can I know which number of array positions my audiofile has?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Spaces in file and directory name might require
to save a list rather than a single symbol?

it sounds like your message box is just reading

[read Files/pd/doc/sound/nikon.wav<

but you actually need

[read -resize Files/pd/doc/sound/nikon.wav arrayname<

check this patch (cut the text into a txt file, and rename the txtfile with a .pd extension):

#N canvas 65 114 844 381 10;
#N canvas 0 0 450 300 graph1 0;
#X array sample 100 float 0;
#X coords 0 1 99 -1 200 140 1;
#X restore 274 175 graph;
#X msg 10 59 read -resize Files/pd/doc/sound/nikon.wav sample;
#X obj 10 84 soundfiler;
#X floatatom 10 110 15 0 0 0 - - -;
#X text 122 110 <= size of your sample;
#X text 360 59 -resize flag changes the size of your array to fit the
sample;
#X text 60 42 click this box to load;
#X connect 1 0 2 0;
#X connect 2 0 3 0;

I assume that the original file was in a folder called C:/Program Files/pd/doc/sound/nikon.wav and it has been truncated because of the space netween "Program" and "Files".
The object from zexy [l2s] should correct this problem.

patco.

thank you, yeah, it was because of space between Program and Files.
