Hey Guys<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I've been playing around with the [httpget] abstraction, building some music generation patches using html files.</div><div><br></div><div>Presently using the length of each line in 'words' (pd lists) as an array and playing as a musical phrase, which actually works really well. </div><div><br></div><div>Any ideas how I could use their length in characters?</div><div><br></div><div>Or parse away html tags?</div><div><br></div><div>Or any other nifty data-from-string tricks?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm considering using [shell] and writing either an irb or bash script to get some of this stuff. But this is a little bit clunky and not particularly portable (cross-platform), so I'm not keen on it as a long-term solution. </div><div><br></div><div>Any ideas appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>Andrew</div> </body>
