In the application I"m working on now I recieve a list of 60 numbers over TCP/IP protocol.

I recieve these numbers as a list of 60 values that are delimited by coma such as: 1,2,3,4

I was wondering how can I replace the coma with a space as I needs to unpack them to 60 numbers ? or can I unpack them to 60 numbers depite the coma delimiters ?

I"m new to prgraming with max and still not aware of text/string manipulation techniques that are specuific to this development enviroment.

lists-manipulation

Yet unfortunately I"m using Max/MSP version 4.5.

Is there anyway I (or anyone else) could convert the script so its compatible with older versions of MAX ?

Thanks for that...

here you go. hope this is what you are looking for...

I saved the code as mxt file yet when I open it it shows the code and not teh objects.

I"m not sure if I"m doing anything wrong or is there a header or something like that missing ?

Appologies for that but as I mentioned before I"m new to MAX.

Thanks again for you time.

just copy the text from the browser and insert it into a new patcher... max does the rest.

the same goes the other way around as well... highlight any portion of your patch, copy it and paste it into the browser if you want to post it to the forum...

no problem...

I tried it and it didn’t work. Does it work for you ?

I tried it with a different code that someone sent me (regarding a different question) and this one works. So maybe I miss a required component/object to run yours ?

When I copy your code and go to max - the paste option in the window is not even highlighted as if what is on the clipboard is not compatible with max.

Again thanks for your time. Could you please check it and let me know. as I really could use the help of the patcher you sent me.

[strtok] from great Jasch library (jasch.ch) does exactly this.

@ Martin: in your patch, [iter] has no use, as comma separated numbers 

@ Martin: in your patch, [iter] has no use, as comma separated numbers 
in a message are already iterated.

Unfortunatly I cant from some reason use the code MID sent me - it would not paste into a new patcher. I dont understand why ? did anyone tried it and was successfull ?

secondly I tried [strtok] of the Jasch library and it didnt work for me as well -

this is the patch I wrote with it and it doesnt seem to work from some reason

I'm not 100% sure what you are asking, but if you are truly ending up with all your numbers in a comma delimitated message box, [zl group] will gather those numbers into a list.

have a look at Lobjects. it contains a wide variety of list manipulating externals, and will most likely work with max 4.5.

http://arts.ucsc.edu/ems/music/research/Lobjects.readme.html

If you know exactly how many numbers you will receive each time you can either use [cycle 60] or [zl group 60] and then [unpack 0. 0. etc.]

mmh, [strtok] was not a good advice in this case, sorry...

You need at least Max 4.6, which is a free upgrade to 4.5...

On the other hand, the posted patch from Martin doesn't mean too much, 

there was an iter which doesn't do anything in this case. The comma has 

a special meaning in Max... (It was just a message box with comma 

delimited numbers which would when connected to a print object just show 

In general, there are tutorials, which help you a lot if you run through 

them, your project would be sufficient to finish within a demo period of 

You said you receive the numbers from TCP/IP, how do they arrive in Max? 

That part of your patch is the crucial one and is missing in the example
