Hey all, I'm new to pd, but have some experience with Max/MSP. Is there any way to prepend something to a message in pd? Specifically, I'm sending the patch an OSC message with the name of a file to create (a .wav file for [writesf~]). I have just the filename coming from the [OSCroute] object, but I can't seem to get "open" in front of it so that I can send it on to the [writesf~]. I've tried pack, but it doesn't seem to like the input. :-/

It seems clear that there must be some way to do this...but I've been poking around in documentation everywhere and haven't found a solution yet!

Any assistance would be appreciated!

Thanks!

The list operations are fairly settled in Pd now, you should use list-abs collection.
You'll find everything you need there, append, prepend, length, shift, rotate, split, head, tail ....blah

a.

Does anyone know if there's a way to install Open Sound Control when using the latest (4.0) version of pd? As far as I can tell, I can only get OSC with the extended bundle (ver. 3.7), but the list-abs collection only exists in ver. 3.9+. :-/

I'll keep on googling.

Thanks!
