Hi folks, I'm trying to figure out how to have a bunch of text, with spacces, get treated as one symbol so that an external can work with it as one thing. In Max, I did this by using the tosymbol object, and then creating a message that was 'eval-string "(all my text as one string here)"'. Is there a Pd idiom for doing something similar that I should follow? Use cases are
a) someone enters code in a message box: '(out 0 :foobar)' b) code is received as a long string over osc or other network, and needs to be sent to the external
Apologies at the Pd ignorance, still trying to figure all this out while! iain
May be this lines gives you lots of clues:
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/8743db3597c371a9491740ac3cbff0ea...
PS: I'm on my second Pd external and found the binbuf thing very useful.

Oops Iain, I thought this was on the Pd-Dev list :)
you can do:
[(out 0 :foobar)( // <-- message object | [fudiformat -u] | [list tosymbol] |

Ah fantastic, that's exactly what I need. fudi looks like the route, and the dev link was helpful too. Wasn't sure what list to put it on, but I actually needed both the patcher and dev answer, so thanks for sending both!

if it's a matter of using a ready made external object, cyclone/tosymbol exists
If you want a pd vanilla patch that does the same, check else/any2symbol
the key is to use vanilla's [list fromsymbol] and [list tosymbol] and hopefully you'll see what I mean and figure it out.
anyway, really really looking forward to your external, it'll be a huge game changer :)
best of luck
cheers
