Hi,
I am currently trying to port a number of my jMax externals to pd. I'm having a problem when setting up some of my network objects which take as object arguments the host name followed by the port number. For example [socksenddgs localhost 6537]. I need to assign this argument to a const char, however it will not allow me to initialise the variable. In jMax it works in the following way;
const char *host; int port; socksenddgs_t *this = (socksenddgs_t *)o; this->sockfd = -1; host = fts_symbol_name(fts_get_symbol_arg( ac, at, 1,0)); port = fts_get_int_arg( ac, at, 2, 0);
Any ideas or examples of converting string type arguments from the object would be much appreciated
Matt

Hi Matthew,
in case your fuction gets the hostname as 't_symbol *s', the code would look like this:
char *host = s->s_name;
I'm not shure if this would work with 'const char'..., In case you pass it a list (t_symbol *s, int argc, t_atom, argv):
char *host = atom_getsymbolarg(i, argc, argv); /* with i = 0 to get the first element in the list */
Olaf
PS: you can send me your code off the list and I'll have a look at it

Hi Olaf,
Not sure how I missed that in the documentation/source code! Thanks very much it works perfectly with both char and const char.
Regards
Matt
