hi
there is the [list2symbol]-object from zexy. with this object it is possible to create symbols with SPACES (very special!!!) I'm looking for a possibility to reseparate such a symbol with space, so that i get 2 symbols again. Maybe a [symbol2list] would do that. Or is there another way to split a symbol in 2 parts?
my problem (maybe another solution would be more realistic): i'd like to send pairs of symbols with [netclient] to other [netclient]s over a [netserver]. Important is, that the receiver gets these two symbol as a pair. the solution i use now, is: every second message completes a pair, but now it could happen, when two [netclient]s send at the same time, that the receiver (another [netclient]) gets two wrong pairs ( a1 b1 / a2 b2 instead of a1 a2 / b1 b2 )
or in general: how to send lists of various length over [netclient]/[netserver]?

well, i'd suggest using [symbol2list] from zexy. it has a settable delimiter (which defaults to SPACE)

well, it should be very simple. just prepend "send" to your list of variable length (there are thousands of libraries/externals offering this functionality, e.g: [glue] from zexy, or [prepend] from iemlib)
e.g: [send 1 2 3( (on the client-side) will send a list "1 2 3" to the server, while [send list of a lot of symbols" will send "list of a lot of symbols"
