just something small, but say I parse a symbol such as "-1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1" to print, itll show up as....

print : -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1

giving the impression that its a list instead. Although I generally have a good idea of whats going into print anyways and don't necessarily rely on this being accurate, if I were to iterate a whole stream of list-like symbols [symbols with spaces] to the max window at once, it'd make things easier then having to use zl mth or what not with a huge list to make sure the symbols are being parsed correctly and not in list form. Or, is there something I'm missing about the max window and quotes?

there is a space in front of the the symbol version.

i also wish you could tell symbols more clearly 

from numbers in the console but thats just not 

print: -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
print:  -1 -1 -1 -1 -1

i also wish you could tell symbols more clearly 
from numbers in the console but thats just not 
like consoles work.

yes, but thats to say the first element going to print is a list. if you have a list with space seperated symbols, it becomes complicated. say i had a 4 element list and each element was like "1 60 120" or so, that passed to print would be

obvoiusly, unless you know where to cut the list and such its impossbile to decipher that list is actually of a length 4 rather than 12 by reading the max window.

for what its worth, this issue ate like 3 hours of my life as a 

newbie. I think I posted about it so others wouldn't do the same.

yes, that is probably what I want, damn shame I'm on wMAX. BLEH! hey, wheres f.e. to save the day by compiling this external for us C weaklings?? ;)

I second your request, can't be too difficult and wouldn't break 

anything existing. I'd also like to reroute information send to the Max 

window into a patch, [error] is only routing error messages, I want all! 

And I want to be able to filter the output with an object as well...

An as we are at it, it would be nice if there would be a way to localise 

an object which sends an error message. That would be very cool and 

would put Max finally into the same leage as "real" programming

Ill get that source no matter what! i'll be in touch.

Sorry, we're behind in moving our externals to windows. I'll get right on it.

Well, this topic dates from 2006, but I don't seem to find it solved yet now ????

... so you can add me to the list of people who would like to be able to differentiate between the symbol "12" and the number 12 when it's printed in the max window ...

As was stated in the thread previously you should get hold of the [printit] object, have a look 

 for it, I find it really useful. I've written a javascript that has a similar functionality although it's a bit of a mess at the moment. I'll post it if you'd like to see.
