It probably is possible, but as bigger text manipulations IMO are better
dealt with outside of the Pd language, why not learn Lua now and use the pdlua external to write your own powerful text manipulation objectsr? Or
Python, but pdlua is much easier to install.
hmm, the problem is that I'm mainly on windows, as looking at
https://code.goto10.org/svn/maximus/releases/pdlua-0.5, there are no
binaries available. but yes, learning that would also save me some work on
other projects as well.
are there any windows binaries of lua available somewhere?
