I have a patch in which audio files are loaded into tables. This could potentially lead to a memory shortage thus leading to a crash. Is there a simple way in Pure Data to query the memory usage?

Thanks for any help on this.

on which system are you working? if you are on linux you can use the shell object in pd and use the "free" command to get the systemwide memory usage

Thanks for the help. I am on Linux and will try this out and let you know how I get on!

Sorry for the late response...yea this worked great!
