What is the difference between [str] and [any2string]?<br>If I understand correctly str is a wrapper for standard string functions and it's output is a pointer to a string.<br>I believe this approach is more limited that using any2string because all basic string functions can be recreated once a symbol is converted to a series of bytes. For example, to split a string along a space character you can use [list split 32], but with the [str] architecture, you need to use [str csplit 32].
<br><br>Just my 2cents. Also, [any2string] does not break compatibility with Pd Vanilla.<br><br>Tom<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/18/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Hans-Christoph Steiner</b> <<a href="mailto:hans@eds.org">
