hi,
here is my problem : a symbol with a space send to stdout is transformed to a list this is very inconvenient when using pd~ see attachment should this be reported as bug ? is there a generic workaround for that ?
thanks

PS : Sorry Iohannes, I was to quick, the issue seems to be there...

pd did not have any escape character to deal with space. this is a generic problem more than a bug.
so, you should find dirty hack to avoid problem. if you have only a symbol, then it's not a problem to split it to a list and make back a symbol thanks to symbol2list and list2symbol.
if you wish to send a list composed of symbol (with space) and other value, then it's a bit harder. here is a very crappy workaround assuming list are always composed of one symbol and one float.

The parser knows how to parse backslash space to mean a space within a symbol, but the printer doesn't handle it.
Additionally, third-party parsers in other languages don't support blackslash space, except the one I wrote in Tcl.

Il y a aussi [#import] et/ou [#sprintf], avec [#to_l], pour faire des listes d'octets.

[stdout] does handle spaces in symbols, but not in combination with the [t a] in front of it, only when it receives the spaced-out symbol directly. I guess there is something shady with [stdout]'s anything-method going on.

hi guys,
Thanks for your tips. Finally the workaround i choosed is to not use [stdout]... In fact i need to get and set properties of a [pix_video] embedded in a [pd~] and I was forwarding pix_video outlet to the main patch through [stdout] which leads to disaster with symbols with space... Actually, i made another [pix_video] instance in the main patch outside the rendering chain, just to get and set properties. It's linked to the embedded one (just to use the same driver/device). it seems to work for now...
cheers

Oui.

Soit les détours sont tortueux, soit ils impliquent de ne pas utiliser d'espaces.
