moin Jerome,

you could use [any2string] to map a symbol to a list of float values, and then use [string2any] to map those values back onto single-character atoms... I believe the [pdstring] objects are in pd-extended; otherwise they're available in sourceforge cvs or from me:

... Martin Peach's [str] utilities can do all of this a wee bit more elegantly, but require that you patch your pd sources.

Hi list,

I'm looking for a solution to split a symbol into its own individual characters. Something a bit like Max's [spell] object...

Anyone came up with this situation before ?
