I need to construct a message of 3 floats, divided by comma's. If I use sprintf and regexp, the output always adds backslashes before the comma. The ouput looks like 0.1,0.2,0.3 or 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 while I need 0.1,0.2,0.3. So, i don't want any whitespace nor backslashes in the output

sprintf works just fine !
If I did understand correctly: 

the problem is that I don't want any whitespace nor backslashes in the output. Your patch results in

I need this for constructing data to send to an OSC application that is not my own.

0.1, 0.2, 0.3     while i need
0.1,0.2,0.3

Don't have max open at the moment. Sprintf should do it but try using 'combine' which is a bit simpler:

Ah, just seen what's confusing you. The backslashes you see in a message box are just to let you know it's a single message. Route the output to a print object to see what's truly there (i.e. no backslashes).

Following these previous posts, indeed the message includes a backslash, but in the Max window we have the correct message we want : only comma, no backslash

But if i want to "truly" send this message into anything else - let's say, the [textedit] from Safairien example, the backslash remains everywhere...

Even if i try to send it manually in Safairien, Max window tells : "jweb : extra arguments for message "read"

Did try with everything i could - regexp, sprintf, combine, [tosymbol] with @separator argument ...

But Max6 automatically removes the backslash in front of a comma, and i can't find the solution. Tiring.

i need to send this type of adress :

Up, I have the same problem, just to visualize the messages (normal text using append) in textedit.

construct message with comma's, without whitespace and backslash
