But PD is not ignoring them. On the contrary lines omitting "#" will be transmitted to a [r ] that has the name of the beginning of the line. Thats how I discovered it. I was just pasting controldata after the #'lines in a txteditor, when I loaded the patch PD said: "no such receive". I guess I just considered it an undocumented feature, and found it very usefull. tjres Steffen
Also there's not really a technical advantage of that undocumented feature over using a very big message box that gets loadbang; e.g.:
junk patate poil; junk quick brown fox; junk lazy dog; junk 42;
vs
#X obj 0 0 loadbang; #X obj 0 20 msg patate poil , quick brown fox , lazy dog , 42; #X obj 0 100 s junk; #X connect 0 0 1 0; #X connect 1 0 2 0;
