Hi Olaf,
<p>Not sure how I missed that in the documentation/source code!
<br>Thanks very much it works perfectly with both char and const char.
<p>Regards

<p>in case your fuction gets the hostname as 't_symbol *s', the code would
<br>look like this:
<p>char *host = s->s_name;
<p>I'm not shure if this would work with 'const char'...,
<br>In case you pass it a list (t_symbol *s, int argc, t_atom, argv):
<p>char *host = atom_getsymbolarg(i, argc, argv); /* with i = 0 to get
the
<br>first element in the list */
<p>Olaf
<p>PS: you can send me your code off the list and I'll have a look at it
