Pall,
Oh my god, it works. The thing that was confusing me is I was trying to use [route] to sort the data, then I tried messages and dollar signs to extract certain elements, neither of those worked.
Now the big problem is that I'll have lists of varying types sizes coming in to Pd... It's kind of hard to use [unpack] to handle all possibilities... sheesh.
But at least these solves some of the problem... thanks!

On second thought, maybe you're looking for something slightly more detailed. You can send something that looks like this "steve george mike;" connect [netreceive] to [unpack s s s] and steve will go to outlet 1, george to outlet 2 and mike to outlet 3. I think the thing with comma's is that PD doesn't recognize them so it just stops reading when it encounters one. Could throw everything off because it wouldn't receive the line terminator (;) either.
