Hallo, Matteo Sisti Sette hat gesagt: // Matteo Sisti Sette wrote:
Is there a reasonably stright-forward way in pd-proper (I mean, without externals) to do either of the following two things?
- Removing the first element of a message (NOT necessarily a list) and
returning the rest of the message
[list split 1]
- Prepending a symbol or number to a message
[list prepend]
But I mean: this must work with ANY message, without knowing its "composition" (whether it starts with a number or symbol, how many "elements" and of what type it has, etc.)
Above examples *do* work with any message.
Not that *you* need to decide what you want to get afterwards: list-messages or meta-messages. Search the archive for the differences between both. You can convert any list-message that starts with a symbol to a meta-message with [list trim]
