[sc-users] buffer to ats file

[alo]

Hello

I would like to analyze real-time inputs with atsa and one way I  
pictured doing it was to record the input into a buffer and then  
extend the buffer class something like this (I added the action  
to .loadCollection at the end of .loadToBuffer):

+ Buffer{
	
	asAtsFile{|action|
		var atsapath = "/Users/ise/ats-1.0.osx/atsa";
		var tempPath, atsfile;
		if (path.notNil) 	
			{ tempPath = "recordings/" ++ path.basename }
			{ tempPath = "recordings/" ++ "b2a_" ++ Date.getDate.stamp };
		this.write(tempPath, completionMessage: {
			(atsapath + tempPath + (tempPath ++ "ats")).unixCmdThen({
				atsfile = AtsFile((tempPath ++ "ats"), 		this.server).loadToBuffer 
(action);
			});
		});
	}
	
}

This seems to work fine until, I am guessing, there are more than 1  
atsa processes at the same time and the otherwise very handy  
unixCmdThen throws a warning and an error e.g.:

WARNING:
String.unixCmdInferPID - unable to be sure of the atsa PID.
Compared: [ 0 ] against [ 1257, 1261, 0 ] with result [ 1257, 1261 ]
Difference function returns [ 1257, 1261 ]
ERROR:
String:unixCmdThen - could not infer PID, therefore couldn't wait  
until done!

I would be very grateful for any suggestions how to avoid this. Or,  
perhaps, Josh, you have a better way of using atsa on the fly?

Cheers
Alo
