Once split, is there a way to convert symbol-atom
"19.95" to a
float?
Two work-arounds come to my mind:
- Send the symbol to [textfile] save it as a file, read the file
again
and output the result.
- Send it through a [netsend] / [netreceive] pair.
The former involves writing to disk, but the latter is even worse in that messes up depth-first order.
I've written Pd Vanilla hacks that do it without writing to disk
Aha.
and posted them on the list.
Any pointers?
Yes-- use an external. :)
Mine is specific to breaking fractions into two floats: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.multimedia.puredata.general/78523/match=...
