Ah fantastic, that's exactly what I need. fudi looks like the route, and the dev link was helpful too. Wasn't sure what list to put it on, but I actually needed both the patcher and dev answer, so thanks for sending both!

Oops Iain, I thought this was on the Pd-Dev list :)
you can do:
[(out 0 :foobar)( // <-- message object | [fudiformat -u] | [list tosymbol] |

Hi folks, I'm trying to figure out how to have a bunch of text, with spacces, get treated as one symbol so that an external can work with it as one thing. In Max, I did this by using the tosymbol object, and then creating a message that was 'eval-string "(all my text as one string here)"'. Is there a Pd idiom for doing something similar that I should follow? Use cases are
a) someone enters code in a message box: '(out 0 :foobar)' b) code is received as a long string over osc or other network, and needs to be sent to the external
Apologies at the Pd ignorance, still trying to figure all this out while! iain
