i’ve a litle problem!

i need to send a list to the textedit object but all the elements of the list go to the first line

I need them in separated lines! as a “text” :)

ex:

[name date size velocity "p1 c play go 241" etc...]

TO

name
date
size
velocity
p1 c play go 241 — with no ” “
etc…

So! there are some way to do that?

Thanks for the help!

if you need them as a textfile you can also write one through [text]. but i am not sure that’s what you are looking for…

“The word separator, followed by any symbol, sets that symbol as a line
separator. and treats it as a carriage return when the contents of the buffer
are output. If the buffer contains the text ?red green blue? and the object
receives the message separator green, the next bang received by textedit will
output red (carriage return) blue.”

which means you have to include “ghost” words as separators in your scripts at the end of each line.
does not seem to b a good solution but it could work…
