[PD] String editing

[Thomas Sivertsen]

Hello list,

I was wondering if there is a possibility in PD to parse a message like
"symbol /home/thomas/qt/regnbueromskip.mov" and then remove the "symbol"
within that string? It's a simple string. I need to prepend a read
message to the specific file to read it into pdp_qt from Yves Degoyons
playlist object. For some reason it doesn't send a message, but a 
message with a symbol identifier in front. prepending it doesn't work.

Something like:

[symbol /home/thomas/qt/regnbueromskip.mov]   <-- messagebox
	|
[remove the symbol and space]		<-- ???? object
	|
[prepend read /home/thomas/qt/regnbueromskip.mov] <-- prepend object

Any examples? Thanks in advance!
