hi,
'strcat' used to be somewhere in gem, also zexy/makesymbol is, in a way, a multi-strcat.
If you do not mind becoming an alpha tester, I have just recently cloned most of the standard max string/symbol-handling classes (sprintf, spell, match, to/fromsymbol) -- [sprintf] object would do for strcat() and more, while strstr() functionality could be emulated with something like:
<symbol>->[spell]->[match]->[thresh]->[sprintf %c%c%c...]->[tosymbol] <pattern>->[spell]->[thresh]->[prepend set]->[<the match above>]
Btw, does anybody know of a max version which would handle a sprintf's 'symout' argument according to the reference manual?
Btw, I would be glad to know about any externals handling smpte code as well...
