Recursive Patches

[ggkarman at airtel.net]

Thank you so much, it really seems that is what i was looking for but 
unfortunately i have no experience with the shell or canvases and i 
couldnt find any info on this in pd's documentation. I really need some 
step by step instructions or references to get this working. I guess 
that my limited understanding of english is making things even harder. 
My (really) basic questions are the following:  

>In case of a not too deep recursion, probably the simplest would
>be to put something like [$1-quap $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 ...] into
>1-quap.pd

Does this mean making a new patch whose name is l-quap.pd and contains 
a message box with the text 
		[;
		$1-quap $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 ...]
in it?

>then make a dummy 0-quap.pd,

does this mean making a copy of the patch 1-quap.pd containing the same 
message box and saving it?

>nd type something like
>for fn in {2,3,4,5,6,7,8,...}-quap.pd ; do ln -sf 1-quap.pd $fn ; done
>into the shell

i guess the shell is reached by going to /edit/texteditor. Do i have to 
have both patches open (does this even make sense?)? Does it matter 
from what patch i launch the text editor?

When i type in the text editor and send what you suggested pd returns:

	{:dropped
	}:dropped

and nothing else happens. Is this an error? What should happen now? 

Thanks again
