comma string from osc

hello!
We are currently working on a project where we need to pass text over the net and then print it on the screen. So far everything is working fine EXCEPT one small detail: every time we try to get a comma on the system it is always taken as a comma message to the max objects. As a consequence when the value arrives there is no print of it.
Herewith the three different approaches we are currently trying:
fromsymbol, tosymbol and itoa,
No success so far. Herewith a patch of the procedure we are using. From the text editor in max it goes into a matrix and then printed on the window.
Another important information: the characters are coming from supercollider where the method .asString sends it over the net as an osc message.

Have you tried adding in the escaping slash to the original string? Something like [regexp , @substitute \,] should work (notice the extra-extra slashes to escape everything).

Hey Luke:
thanks for the answer, you mean something like this?

is that the correct way?, any optimization suggested?

I will test tomorrow with the osc messages coming from sc(we have a network) and see if it works properly with our set.

I will post the results

Something like that should work, give it a try and let me know how you get on. You probably want to hook the fourth outlet of [regexp] to the same places as the first. This way the string will get sent through even if it doesn’t contain any commas.
