Hello,

is there a way to replace all the colon of a text with , ?
or to brace al the text with " " without loose the colons ( with [tosymbol] there's no more colon after processing )

it looks like it's a max 5 thing _and_ a max 6 thing, but they're different things -- it's also a max message-box with commas thing, and maybe a max implementation of regexp thing... and there's also a difference between the print->max window representation and the message-box representation

here's a patch I made in max 5

so freepoulite, you should probably get confirmation from c74 which is the right way to do it -- there might be a better way that won't be ambiguous-- in the mean time I'd go with nicolas' method (I suspect printing to the max window is a more accurate representation...)
