Hello.
I have written a program in Visual Basic which passes data to a PD patch using a TCP socket. By using "netreceive" and a simple "print" box, the data is shown in the message window.
However, I would like to send multiple variables from the Visual Basic application to PD through the same socket. Is there anyway to do this?
I have tried using the receive function as the help for "netreceive" mentions that you can separate variables in this way, for example:
"receive var1" "receive var2"
But it doesn't seem to separate the data.
Any help on this would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks.
Nick Giles.

i don't understand what you are talking about precisely.
however, what you want to do is send (from VB) things like "var1 <v1>" and "var2 <v2>", e.g: "pitch 440" and "gain 0.5". then use [route var1 var2 ...] (e.g: [route pitch gain]) to separate yor variables based on their name.

if you are sending multiple messages from VB but only see one message received by Pd's [print] then they are probably being terminated incorrectly. are you terminating each message with a semicolon?
