Greetings. Is there any support for building up strings within ChucK? I'd like to do something like WvOut ofile; 0 => int idx; "out" + idx + ".aif" => ofile.aifFilename; I'm trying to produce a script which will split an input file into short sections. I think I can see how to do most of it, but can't work out how to generate file names. The "string" type is mentioned in passing in the 'type' section of the manual, but with no indication of what methods it might have (I tried "idx => ofile.append", but...). Googling for 'string' at chuck.csc.princeton.edu doesn't indicate that I've missed anything major. And I can't spot anything in the FAQ at , other than a `medium priority' note `string operations' in <http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/ index.php/ChucK/Dev/DoThisNow>. Does this latter note mean that this isn't possible, but might be soon? By the way, I'm doing the split by elaborating on SndBuf ibuf; "test.aif" => ibuf.read; 0 => ibuf.pos; WvOut ofile; "out0.aif" => ofile.aifFilename; ibuf => ofile => blackhole; 2::second => now; ofile.closeFile; Does that look reasonable, or am I misunderstanding something (on a few hours' acquaintance with ChucK)? Thanks for any pointers. Norman -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Norman Gray / http://nxg.me.uk eurovotech.org / University of Leicester, UK
