[print ] is still kind of 1994 and unless i am wrong, which happens a lot, max5 doesn't seem to have any sexy new [groovyprintwithmanymoreoptions ] object. Is there no clear, easy way to combine a bunch of scaffolding into on line (per bang)... without having to pack it into a list, then label the list with fake non changing elements and then redo the whole thing each time you add something you wanna peak at?

like [pack 0 foo: 0 foo2: 1.0 foo3: abc ] | [print ]

I find this hard to update (counting the inlets and trying to remember which ones to use and which to ignore). I want my max window to just print all my junk one line per bang like

event: 1, pitch: 189.176Hz, filterbank: 1, yo_mamma: yeah, etc: 1 etc: 0 event: 2, pitch: 181.011Hz, filterbank: 2, yo_mamma: no, etc: 1 etc: 1

whatever.. you get the idea... like iffin you was pumping out a note list in perl/python/c/whatever...

for debugging & etc. Is even a kludgey python-esque [print, ] to suppress the line feed?

How do folks scaffold in max.. i am asking too much of poor old [print ]?

cheers,

Ps. Anyone else have a lot of agony these days searching the forum? or is it just me (mac OS 10.5.7)? Searches are pretty slow in Firefox and on Safari (4.0.2) i get endless javascript error window popups that more or less take control of my browser...
