Pack can't pack symbols like a comma. So just do it like this.

As you can see, in the bottom message box, the comma disappears which makes sense cause you filter it in pack 0 0 0.

im not familiar with it, but you would need to use sprintf to insert a comma back.

Or don't use the list format in line. Use the 2 first inlet instead.

Thanks guys.... MVF, your patch doesn't paste.... i coppied all of the code and tried new from clipboard but nothing

Hey, I managed to work out how to use the sprintf object, great stuff cheers :)

Please please please have a look at this patch:

As you can see, the reason why you thought you needed a comma is because it simply denotes a list separation: "first this, then this". The typical "0, 1 1000" messages can easily be replaced by two messages. "0" and "1 1000", sent right after each other.

you can [pak] symbols, including comma, into a dynamic list like this:

problem with line? Can't see whats wrong with patch
