Thanks, Hans, once again, I hit just reply instead of reply to all...I did a quick test on the key message, and it appears that some keys are still not allowed. Such things as a double quote ("), a percent sign (%), and left bracket ([) (but it does allow a right bracket), the backslash (\) and a tilde (~). All of these characters can be typed directly into the [text] widget.While I know some of the characters are special in PD, some of these things are probably needed to support the full character set that SQL can recognize.I was hoping that I could use a [text] object as a buffer to create multiple SQL statements that would get sent to the server as a group. I kind of think this would be useful in storing data in a database, in hopes of keeping down the number of things sent to the server at once. I was toying with the idea of adding this to the SQL external itself, but I seem to be running into a problem that I can't troubleshoot, as it doesn't appear to have any rhyme or reason as to why it acts that way.Thanks for your help,MikeOn Nov 19, 2007 4:10 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans@eds.org> wrote:I cc'ed the list since it's of general interest.This message is called [append( for lists/atoms and [key( for individual keystrokes (i.e. "space" makes a space char)..hcOn Nov 19, 2007, at 4:17 PM, Mike McGonagle wrote:Hans,I was wondering if it would be possible to add some messages that [text] would use to append its buffer? I would think things similar to what a message box already understands, things like 'add', 'add2', 'addsemi', 'addcomma', 'adddollar', and 'adddollarsym'.Or is there something already in place?MikeOn Nov 14, 2007 2:32 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner < hans@eds.org> wrote:Fix in CVS>
