hi list,
i'm experimenting with netsend/receive and have a question about the data that is received.
on the machine where i have netsend i have messages like:
send valRed $1 and send valBlue $1
where each send message gets numerical values.
on the machine where i have netreceive i have a print object. which is correctly printing things like valRed 145 valBlue 203
my stupid question is how do i parse this data to use it with objects? i tried using a number atom and setting the receive symbol value to valRed, but it gets nothing. i tried using unpack after the netreceive object eg.
[netreceive]
|
[unpack s 0]
[145]
but then number changes when i vary valRed and valBlue
what's the right way to have objects on the receiving end use the values that are sent?
thanks, p
