try "tosymbol" or "fromsymbol" from thge cyclone/hammer library. they can handle symbols with spaces.

Hello all
I need some help with a reversing text patch.... I am trying to write a patch that will reverse text and made a somewhat dysfunctional version that uses the "keyname" object. It packs the symbol character of the keystroke into a textfile and then advances to the next line and sets the next keystoke character into a new line and so on until a bang is pressed to process the information. Then a textfile is read back by counting the total # of lines, then skipping that # minus one to give the very last character. I store that character in an empty messagebox. Then the total number of lines is set to be (total = total - 1) and the process is started over, so that I now get the second to last character in the file and so on. I am using the "add2" message to continue to add the new character to the previous ones. The problems I am having are:
1.) I cannot use spaces, because they get do not get recognized as a character, and backspaces appear as "Backspace" and shift appears as "Shift".
2.) the message box adds a space between each new character so that the text appears like this: "s i h t e k i l". So I am wondering if there is a way to correct these things, maybe by using an ascii object that I am unaware of.
Thanks all this is my first post Bradon~
