It is Pd, so I think we should at least make

an

effort to

make things easy to parse in Pd. I tried your parser using data that is probably closer to what

we

might use, and

it didn't work at all. If someone can get a Pd parser working that can handle the commas

well,

then I

would be OK using commas in the meta data format.

Here's my data: tags - pure data, frequency modulation,

synthesis

Hi Hans, I wouldn't expect my example to work as a general solution. If you want a general solution, I'd be happy to take a

stab

at it, but you

haven't said what you want Pd to do with the

data

example you've provided

above.

Ah, sorry, I thought you'd followed the object_db.tcl plugin discussion and the [pd META] discussion with Frank. Basically, the object_db.tcl plugin builds a multilevel menu for finding objects based on tags. I'm am sure people will think of other uses for the tags. Frank suggested using comma separated tags in his [pd REFERENCE] format, the PDDP group came to the conclusion that the meta data should be easily parsable by Pd, and I still think that's a good idea.

So the idea is to have every help patch have a [pd META] subpatch, and in it, have a comment with tags.

.hc

Oh, ok. I'll have a look at that discussion.

-Jonathan

Yes, I have seen this discussion. But I'm still confused: are commas a problem in tcl? If not, I still don't understand the problem (see attached).

<file.pd><parser.pd>

Tcl's not the problem, its Pd's parser. It interprets commas as a separator between messages. Since there isn't an escape mechanism, it means handling commas, semi-colons, etc. is difficult unless you are wanting the behavior of Pd's parser.

If we use commas as the delimiter for individual tags, then just removing the commas means you don't know if you have multi-word tags or just single word tags. So if you have:

tags - frequency modulation, synth

and its parsed as:

tags frequency modulation synth

then key information is lost.
