And I don't want to give it from a message box .

The problem is jit.lcd doesn't accept this message created with a [sprintf] or [append] boxes.

Max Window shows such data format (with comma which fragments them) aren't identical to a message box.

Could someone show me the good way to "tell" max such a message.

Please have a look on my little patch below .

Don't know if it is a Max Topic or jitter one ...

I try to format a message for jit.lcd .
This message is [moveto X Y , ascii x].
And I don't want to give it from a message box .

Could you explain me why you don't want message box ?

This message box: "moveto $1 $2, ascii x" should work (but i don't own

Hi.
Could you explain me why you don't want message box ?
This message box: "moveto $1 $2, ascii x" should work (but i don't own
jitter...)
Best.

I isolated the problem from a more complex patch.

I need to "concatenete" several messages.

why instructions separated by "," do not seem to be understood same as a series of messages separated by ","

The question is:
why instructions separated by "," do not seem to be understood same as a series of messages separated by ","


1. there should be no blank between the 2nd int and the ascii part of 

2. you can use sprintf with "prepend set" and a messagebox which 

should be triggered to send the contents to jit.lcd. well, this 

doesn't avoid the message box, but it works.

sprintf only for formats a message, but does not process it like the 

that is why it outputs a single formatted message and not 2 messages 

only the message box processes the data as 2 messages, when seperated 

I modified your patch. have look if it is this you're looking for:

So, even with backslash comma in [sprintf] it's impossible to send a formatted message without a message box ?

.. And the same thing occurs with [append ,] ??

So , a single formatted message which includes 2 messages 

seperated by a comma can't work neither sprintf, or append ,

So , a single formatted message which includes 2 messages 
seperated by a comma can't work neither sprintf, or append ,
or zl reg ?

well, it is said that "a comma (,) divides a message into separate messages

which will be sent out in order" in "message object / arguments" in

MaxReferenceManual.pdf so, I guess it works but with the use of a message

Yes, of course it is possible to set messages separated by commas in a message box, formatted with [sprintf] and "," for example ...

I hoped to be able to store such datas (multiple messages) in [zl reg] , and it is possible ! but if you bang [zl reg] filled with such datas, these messages can't be understood by (for example) jit.lcd

Now I understand my error, which is comma-instruction and comma-character (,) can't have the same signification, even stored in an object. Only message box treats comma as "comma-instruction".
