Thanks for the info but two issues that pop up when I try this are
1) when I use zexy date and time object there's no option for leading zeros if I split everything out as floats.
2) when I pipe the messagebox
[ $1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9$10$11$12$13$14 ] into the
|
add $1
|
textfile

it just prints 0;  can a messagebox be used as a variable in the add object for textfile if not what should I replace it with.  Thanks again

PS I'm using pd 0.42.5 extended on ubuntu 10.04 64bit

Aloha

if you just use $1 for something like 07, then it will cut off the leading zero (which in this case, you need)

so might be best just to split everything into individual floats, like:

[ 1 9 7 8 0 7 2 9 0 9 3 0 2 1 (


and then just feed that into a big compound message like

[ $1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9$10$11$12$13$14 (


that way you get all the zeroes as well
