Re: [PD] using netsend with hex?

hi,

what is being netsended is just text. Any data, be it a symbol or a float, is converted into text. How this text would be parsed is up to a receiver -- if you are using a netreceive object, then you would get the standard Pd's way of parsing into atoms (symbols and floats), with spaces treated as separators.

If by sending FFFF you mean packing up four 0xF bytes into a text string, then [sprintf] could do this. Otherwise, you probably mean sending 65535 (or -1 if your receiver expects signed shorts)?

how would i format a message to send an equivalent value of hex FFFF via netsend? And how can i handle spaces in netsend messages? (i seem to remember that making symbols e.t.c. got tricky)
