You said you wanted to detect, not split. Replacing a character by a space does not split a symbol in several elements (but it does if you know how to take advantage of pd's traditional bugs). Otherwise use [s2l] or [l2s].
- this would be for the "famous" patch that I'm sending around. Since
it's for non-pd users, I should limit myself to pd-ext objects
If it's for non-pd users, you should limit yourself to non-pd objects. I mean, if they end up using your patch, they will be some kind of pd user, albeit one that we don't see so often so far.
or I would have to ship gridflow with it, which might not be legal (don't know),
ah, thanks for the feedback. (??)
