[PD] saving relative paths in a textfile

[Athos Bacchiocchi]

hello list,

i'm building a patch in wich openpanel is used to load 
four wavfiles in four different arrays. The four paths are stored and, 
if needed, saved in a text file using [textfile] object, so that they 
can be loaded all together like a primitive kind of soundbank.

The 
problem with openpanel is that it outputs absolute paths, making the 
textfile useless in case i move the entire patch (with wavfiles as 
well, without modifying the relative positions), to another position or 
machine.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Maybe there is a 
specific object, but an entire day of googling didn't get me anywhere.


thanks,
athos
