DH_PatchArray-Text
Function:
Stores
and retrieves text-based values by index, with separate indexes for read and
write. Values are saved in patch storage in one of two modes:
Global mode saves a single text array that does not change when the patch is changed.
Per Patch mode provides a separate text array for each patch.
Left-hand side pins:
Input - Text string to be stored
Read Index - Selects the output slot. Index input is rounded to the nearest integer.
Write Index - Selects the slot to which the Input text string will be written. Index input is rounded to the nearest integer.
Write - Writes the Input text string to the currently indexed slot on a TRUE to FALSE change.
Clear - Erases the text from all slots.Output - Provides the text string stored in the slot currently indexed by the Read Index.
Right-hand side pin:
Output - Provides the text string stored in the slot currently indexed by the Read Index.
Parameters: (right-click Properties)
Mode - Global or Per Patch, as described above under Function.
Notes:
The module allocates working memory for the list as needed. The amount of data that can be saved in patch storage is limited, however, to the equivalent of 1000 characters. A message box is displayed when the limit is exceeded, and the excess is not saved.
