hey, I have a few abstractions that take a list of floats as input within those abstractions triggers direct the list as lists and anythings. I can type into a message box a list of numbers like [2 1 2 1 2 2( bang the message box and the abstraction works great. however when I use a symbol atom , type in the same [> 2 1 2 1 2 2] , then hit enter to set a message box to the output then bang the messagebox, my abstraction gives errors like can only convert s to b or s. Is there anyway to allow a user to input a list of floats to form this float list message besides the symbol atom box? Thanks Billy

If you are dealing strictly with integers the attached patch will convert a symbol-of-delimited-integers into a list of floats.

yes, thank you very much Chris. It always takes me a while to orient myself to pd's list functions, was headed that direction with list fromsymbol then got lost in the textfile object. have a big task ahead of removing the controllers from my model view controller interface. in the meantime being able to type in a list of ints from pd should be fun.
