If I understand you correctly, it sounds like you can use the built-in pdsend from the command line without a problem. With [netreceive 3000 0 old] you automatically dispatch to "receive" objects that have the name of the first symbol that you type.
An example: % pdsend 3000 foo 1 2 3 4;
...would send the list "1 2 3 4" to a receiver named "foo".
I hope this model would fit into your patch... not a perfect solution, but it'll work with no extra externals or programming.

hi all,
i need a quick fix for a performance in two weeks. i would like to have a text-based interface to control a patch. ideally, i would like to type in a string of characters with each argument separated by white space and each string separated by a carriage return.
i reckon that someone has faced a similar situation and may already have a patch/extern that does this...anyone?
i did a quick search through the list and found (really old) discussions of string concatenation objects, but they looked to be for file naming. i suppose if someone had an extern that could take the output of key or keyname concatenate it, i could use that, too.
so if anyone has a patch or knows where i can find one of these things, i'd appreciate it.
thanks,
kerry
