Re: [CM] need macro help!

oh wow, ok I will chew on that. In the meantime, I got it working as this, but feedback for style (or bugs I can't see) would be lovely. ;building on the example from Bill: (define s4m-expr-inputs (vector '() 11 22 33)) (define (string->sexp text) "convert a string of an sexp to an sexp" (rea

Re: [CM] need macro help!

Thanks Bill, yes that was it. I had figured out that was the (first!) error before you replied, but my solution was much more rube-goldbergish than yours, so much appreciated. Of course now I've realized it needs to be recursive, silly me. (+ %1 %2) works, but not (+ (+ %1 %2) %3). gah! iain On

[CM] need macro help!

I am apparently in over my head, I'm pretty darned new to defmacro'ing. If anyone can help with this, it would help me add a very nice ability to scheme for max! thanks! ; desired behaviour ; (s4m-run-expr "(+ %1 %2 %3)") ; should run as (+1 (expr-ins 1) (expr-ins 2) (expr-ins 3)) ; error i get:

Re: [CM] reading text from file to eval (as in... the other way!)

oh wow, I had not made the connection that it was that easy and I could just do: (set! _ (load "file")) Scheme (and s7) just keeps making me happier! thanks Bill! On Tue, Aug 31, 2021 at 4:02 PM wrote: > > I need to know the max file size > > You mean max-string-length, I think -- it default

Re: [CM] possibly a file output bug

Well that's embarrassing, you're right, it IS a directory, but I have no clue how it got there. I guess somehow I created a directory from Scheme when trying this stuff out. Which is weird, because all I was doing was calling port functions. So sorry!! iain On Tue, Aug 31, 2021 at 3:54 PM wrote:

Hi Bill and Elijah, that's working like a charm, this is going to be wonderful for being able combine file i/o with live coding. How would you recommend going the other way? I want to read the entire file in, and then just eval it to replace the serializable data arg. (my sequencer objects keep se

[CM] possibly a file output bug

Hi Bill, I am having this unusual behaviour and am wondering if it's a bug This works fine: (call-with-output-file "/Users/iainduncan/froms4m.txt" (lambda (output-port) (display "hello world, from s4m" output-port))) But if I put a hyphen in the file name ("/Users/iainduncan/from-s4m.txt"),

[CM] creating text code from s7 objects?

Hi list, I just thought I'd check here before I do any silly wheel reinventing. Is there a decent way to go from s7 objects to strings of the objects exactly as would need to put them in a text editor? I imagine I'll have to do some massaging, but for example I want to make something that could rec

[CM] Scheme for Max paper at ICFP 2021 Scheme Track

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know that s7 will be featured in at ICFP through my paper "Scheduling Musical Events in Max/MSP with Scheme For Max". I'll be doing a presentation Saturday, but it will mostly be aimed at non-computer-music people who have no idea what Max or s7 is. The pa

Re: [CM] metadata on vectors?

Bill, I'm not saying it would be good to adopt as I'm no language expert, but Clojure has an interesting metadata system that might be worth looking at. I mention it only because I remember you asking last year what things from Clojure were particularly nice. iain On Mon, Jul 26, 2021 at 3:16 AM

Re: [CM] scheme unit testing framework?

Hi Gregg, I know there exists one for Racket (RackUnit), which might not be hard to adapt. However, it is honestly probably just as easy to roll your own. S7's support for environments makes it very easy to set up the context for a call and assert. Check out with-let and let-ref in the s7.html pag

Re: [CM] s4pd (s7 for pd) with [text] perhaps for live-coding

Thanks Forrest, I will try this out! I just wrapped up a bunch of paper writing and have some time to dedicate to s4pd again. Right now each object is isolated on its own, because one can always use send and receives to simulate sharing, and use shared data structures as noted. Also, I should pro
