Hi, since Pd 0.48 the [float] object takes symbol messages and converts them to floats (if possible).

Hi list,

I was trying something without succes, and couldn't find any documentation for it as well.

I wanted to split the symbol 2/4 to separate the numbers on both sides of the / . No problem using [list fromsymbol] and [list tosymbol] in doing that. But, afterwards I can't find a way of turning the symbol back to a float, except using an external. Is there any special hack somewhere for this?

Best,

JOao

Hi Joao,

you can now use a simple [f] to convert a symbol to float, e.g:

[5( | [symbol 3.$1( // generate "3.5" symbol | [f] | [print]

prints 3.5 (i.e a float)

But the most powerful related tool is [fudiparse]:

[51 46 53( // list of chars '3' '.' '5' | [fudiparse] | [print]

also prints the float 3.5.
