is there a way to cut and paste text from the console or some other external text source into a comment object?
I'm RTFM and can't seem to find anywhere if this is possible
Sure, just copy the text, create the comment in a patch, and click the comment so the text "comment" is highlighted. Then paste the text.
Related weirdness: if you open a new patch and immediately try to paste text without first creating a comment, nothing is pasted but the patch gets a dirty flag.

Yup. Use Ctrl-T to open a Textbox. You can paste your clipboard first into that textbox. Clicking the 'send' button writes the text to the currently selected object or comment or message.

Don't know, where (if) it is documented.

I just tried this and I get this in the console: error: .text1.text: no such object and nothing in the comment box

What version of Pd are you using? Copy-pasting into comments, message boxes and object boxes didn't work until some recent version (at least in Windows), but it now does (at least in Windows). I think it was 0.42.something when it was finally introduced.
Or am I misunderstanding what you mean? I mean selecting a text anywhere inside or outside Pd, hitting ctrl+C, and pasting into a comment, message box or object with ctrl+V.
Oh well you have to create the comment object (or select it) and paste the text into it: what you cannot do is just pasting and having the text appear _as_ a new comment. perhaps was this what you meant?

ah maybe that's the problem I'm using: Pd version 0.41-4extended

that's correct - that is what I'm trying to do while I CAN copy and paste between comments I cannot paste from the console or a text file nor can I copy from a comment and paste it into a text file

no although that would be nice too! thanks for your help -- I think I'll just have to update my Pd and see if I get that function :)
Hey all Bit OT on this thread, but has anyone seen the help file for comments? Work of genius!!! It would seem a shame to ruin that to try and solve problems like this.

Hi, What seems to work in many cases here (ubuntu) for pasting the clipboard is clicking both the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously instead of doing ctrl+v. gr, Tim

Yep, we're on different versions of Pd-- I should have mentioned I'm running a nightly build: Pd version 0.42.5-extended-20100404
I didn't realize the feature I described was added so recently.
