Hi,

thanks for the reply..

the osc function addString ... thinking about that now i have no idea why i didn't just try that.. :-/
sometimes i wonder how stupid one (me) can be :-)

yes that would really be good.. also a function that reports the running shreds the same way.

yes i thought about that but yet i didn't get this to work correct.. seems to be a common
problem (maybe only windows?) that some of the output can only be read when
the concole app exits.. i will see..

It seems the manual is out of date in this regard, it is in fact
possible to send strings in ChucK's OSC implementation.  Just use an
"s" for the type specifier and addString to supply the string.
getString will retrieve the string on the listener end.

Not currently, no, although something like that would be good to have.

I think one hack-y option would be to parse the output of chuck --
probe directly in your UI.  But ultimately it would be nice to be
able to access that information in ChucK directly.
