I have a [combine] that sets up a "send xxx, message" to a [forward]. in the combine arguments, there are quotes so that everything is spaced right. for some reason there are quotes around the whole resulting message. It doesn't work right with forward, but the same message without quotes will.

How can I remove double quotes enclosing a message? I've messed around with regexp... thx for any help.

Looks like regexp doesn't recognize these quotes as part of the message. I'm so confused...

Here's what I want. Clicking on the button should use the [combine] to send the same exact message to [forward] as does the leftmost message. the word "arguments" should be printed under "result". Nothing works as expected... please help. Thanks.

I'm a bit late to this thread, but maybe it'll help someone out, here's a much simpler solution w/ only one object: [sprintf %s] :)

Those solutions introduce linebreaks. If you still want to keep the list / string as a whole this solution doesn't work.

@WEBE Actually [fromsymbol] doesn't introduce any line breaks - it's just producing a list from symbol.

However, if you are using message box as a display and the box is to short (you may extend length of the box if needed) to present the list as a single line it will be formatted as several lines (but it's only for displaying, the content of the list will be unchanged).

I shall take a break from this patch now ;-)

PS: I parsed the input before [itoa] which worked for me - since the list (ASCII) already contained quote marks that I had to replace.

You're right. My mistake!

Hello, I also want to know this, I face same kind of problem with double quotes.

Here's a subpatcher to remove the double quotes from symbols (or any other characters if you change the ASCII value)
