hello everybody, my name is Rui and I've been using PD on-and-off for a few years in my projects. This list has helped a lot of times just through search, but I think I'll need assistance on this one... I need to connect PD to another application via TCP/IP messages, which is trivial in itself. However, the receiving app does not interpret anything ending in ";", and PD doesn't accept escape characters. This application needs to receive messages ending either with carriage return, line break or CR/LF pairs. How do I remove this character in a way that is acceptable by netsend? I have been looking at character manipulation via pdmtl objects, but have no progress so far. Thanks in advance!

Hi Rui,
If you have pd-extended, [moocow/any2bytes] will split the message into a list of single characters with a final character of your choice. Then [net/tcpclient] or [net/tcpsend] or [maxlib/netclient] can send them as a TCP packet to the receiving app. (Maybe look into [pdlua] for more complex text processing.)
