hi list,
i'm experimenting with netsend/receive and have a question about the data that is received.
on the machine where i have netsend i have messages like:
send valRed $1 and send valBlue $1
where each send message gets numerical values.
on the machine where i have netreceive i have a print object. which is correctly printing things like valRed 145 valBlue 203
my stupid question is how do i parse this data to use it with objects? i tried using a number atom and setting the receive symbol value to valRed, but it gets nothing. i tried using unpack after the netreceive object eg.
[netreceive]
|
[unpack s 0]
[145]
but then number changes when i vary valRed and valBlue
what's the right way to have objects on the receiving end use the values that are sent?
thanks, p

the message you get out of [netreceive] is exactly [valRed 145( [unpack] expects a "list" consisting of a symbol and a floating point value; this list would look like [list valRed 145( the messages [list valRed 145( and [valRed 145( are _not_ the same (as can be seen by looking at them) the whys and hows have often been discussed on this list, so please search the archives on that topic.
apart from that, unpacking won't help you much with your problem. what you will need is something like
| [route valRed valBlue valGreen] | | | |

IOhannes and Derek,
Thank you!
[route] is doing it. this is very cool. opens up many possibilities for interactions.
best, p
