Hum, I just loaded the file created with binfile inside textfile and it works like I want. But how do I make the system recognize the file as a text file?<br><br>TOm<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/11/07,

Hi again Martin,<br><br>Hum , the output file is a binary. I don't think I was very clear:<br>I need a way to write a text file from PD BUT the input and output is in ASCII code.<br>For example. from pd, I would send "add 97 32 98 32 99" and when I would write the file, the contents could be viewed with a text editor and would display "a b c".

<br><br>You could check out [binfile] in cvs externals/mrpeach/binfile. It works a<br>bit like [texfile] but it can read and write arbitrary bytes.<br><br>Martin<br><br><br></blockquote></div><br>
