I don't know. I can't find the help file for [any2string] so I don't know how to use it. Maybe I have to look at the source code? >If I understand correctly str is a wrapper for standard string functions >and >it's output is a pointer to a string. More or less true. There are also functions to output the string as bytes or symbols. >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]. That's one more character to type ;) If the web page patch could be done with [any2string] and [list] then sure. When I did the string stuff I was not aware of any other way of manipulating arbitrary lists of bytes. Pd tries to interpret anything you type and some characters don't get through unmangled. Even with the [str] object you have to specify them by ascii code.
