<p>Oops Iain, I thought this was on the Pd-Dev list :)<br>
<br>
you can do:<br>
<br>
[(out 0 :foobar)( // <-- message object<br>
|<br>
[fudiformat -u]<br>
|<br>
[list tosymbol]<br>
|</p>
<p><br>

very useful. </p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi folks, I'm trying to figure out how to have a
bunch of text, with spacces, get treated as one symbol so that
an external can work with it as one thing. In Max, I did this
by using the tosymbol object, and then creating a message that
was 'eval-string "(all my text as one string here)"'. Is there
a Pd idiom for doing something similar that I should follow?
Use cases are
<div><br>
</div>
<div>a) someone enters code in a message box: '(out 0
:foobar)'</div>
<div>b) code is received as a long string over osc or other
network, and needs to be sent to the external</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Apologies at the Pd ignorance, still trying to figure all
this out while!</div>
