Terminal data into Pd

purewater

Hi all,

As the title suggests, does anyone know how to get some terminal data into a useable form in Pd?

Terminal command via [shell]
lsof -c Terminal

Comes back with

I'd like to get all this data into Pd somehow.
At some point I'd like to write it to a file and then search through it for the file name that I want. I'm having trouble though. Any ideas?

unsymbol

which data is the useful data? i would suggest using

and [symbol2list] but it will really depend on what data you are trying to extrapolate. hmm.

arif

Also, it is best to do the formatting from within the terminal

you want to pipe the results of lsof -c Terminal into a grep command (grep does exactly what you need, without saving it to a file). I'm pretty sure we did this together in a previous thread, no?

Hi Arif, yes we did discuss a similar approach in a previous thread, but grep doesn't work inside pure data, it only works inside terminal.

To be precise, in my experience if you type,

lsof -c Pro | grep WaveCache.wfm

(assuming you have a pro tools session open)

it will give back

/Digidesign/Pro Tools/Pro Tools Session Fun/WaveCache.wfm

but ONLY if you type it straight into Terminal. Using [shell] gives back nothing.

Hence this new approach, trying to get all the data from a lsof command into pro tools and then sifting through it for the necessary data.

Thanks everyone so much for all your help!!!!

I'll add this in case someone else can find a use for it.
