Hello,
I already posted this to the forum, so I hope it's no foible to post
it here as well...
I am building a connector for PD to communicate with an external
application running on another system. I am using netsend to craft UDP
packets that the remote application can parse for actions. The payload
is supposed to look sort of like this:
(STRING,STRING,INTEGER,INTEGER,STRING,INTEGER)
Initially I was unable to get commas into the netsend stream because PD
uses commas as in internal delimiter. I was able to circumvent this by
using the cyclone external's 'sprintf' function. Like this:
|44|
|
|send (STRING%cSTRING%cINTEGER%cINTEGER%cSTRING%cINTEGER) |
|
|netsend|
this almost works, except that pd inserts whitespace characters after
the commas, which the remote application doesn't understand.
I noticed that 'print' actually puts a space before and after the
commas, whereas netsend (or sprintf) only puts one after the commas.
Does anyone know how to circumvent this behavior? Or, perhaps a simpler
way to achieve what I am trying to do?
If you're using pd-extended you could use [any2string] to convert to
lists of (ASCII) floats and [udpsend] to send the list of floats. Also
the [str] object might work as a way to convert symbols into lists of
ASCII characters.
