"filename" -- name of the output file.
"string" -- the text string to be printed. Can be up to 8192 characters and must be in double quotes.
ival1, ival2, ... (optional) -- The i-rate values to be printed. These are specified in “string” with the standard C value specifier (%f, %d, etc.) in the order given.
fprints is similar to the prints opcode except it outputs to a file. For more information about output formatting, please look at printks's documentation.
Here is an example of the fprints opcode. It uses the files fprints.orc and fprints.sco.
Example 161. Example of the fprints opcode.
/* fprints.orc */ /* Written by Matt Ingalls, edited by Kevin Conder. */ ; Initialize the global variables. sr = 44100 kr = 4410 ksmps = 10 nchnls = 1 ; Instrument #1 - a score generator example. instr 1 ; Print to the file "my.sco". fprints "my.sco", "%!Generated score by ma++\\n \\n" endin /* fprints.orc */
/* fprints.sco */ /* Written by Matt Ingalls, edited by Kevin Conder. */ ; Play Instrument #1. i 1 0 0.001 /* fprints.sco */
This example will generate a file called “my.sco”. It should contain a line like this:
;Generated score by ma++
