Description

Similar to prints but prints to a file.

Syntax

fprints "filename", "string" [, ival1] [, ival2] [...]

Initialization

"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.

Performance

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

Examples

Here is an example of the fprints opcode. Play fprints.csd Note that the example must be run from a directory for which the user has write access.

<CsoundSynthesizer>
<CsOptions>
; Select audio/midi flags here according to platform
; Audio out   Audio in
-n   ; no sound
; For Non-realtime ouput leave only the line below:
; -o fprints.wav -W ;;; for file output any platform
</CsOptions>
<CsInstruments>

sr = 44100
ksmps = 32
nchnls = 2
0dbfs  = 1

instr 1     ; a score generator
  
fprints "my.sco", "%!Generated score by ma++\\n \\n"    ; Print to the file "my.sco".

endin

</CsInstruments>
<CsScore>
i 1 0 0.001
e
</CsScore>
</CsoundSynthesizer>

This example will generate a file called “my.sco”. It should contain a line like this:

;Generated score by ma++
