I'd like to build a variable message in javascript for the object line 

(like 0, 1000 1000), but I don't manage to delete the space beetween "0" 

Is there a function like concat(string1, string2, ...) in the Max

and ",".
Is there a function like concat(string1, string2, ...) in the Max

I try something below but it does work.

------------the name of the js file is com_line.js-----------------
inlets = 3;
outlets=1;

function depart(v)
{
debut = v;
messnamed("mess1", debut,",",fin, dure);
}

function arrivee(v)
{
fin = v;
messnamed("mess1", debut,",",fin, dure);
}

function reset()
{
debut = d;
fin = 10;
dure=10;
post("reset done");
}

Commas are not part of messages (nor strings), they are delimiters 

between multiple messages to specify sequence. The way I'd approach 

this from JS would not consist of making a string containing a comma, 

but rather send a sequence of messages--i.e. for (0, 2000 2000) use 

I'm not sure that any means of setting a message box text to contain 

a comma delimited message sequence from JS is available unless you 

use scripting to instantiate the corresponding message box. To my 

knowledge, there's currently no way to set the message *text* which 

is parsed into an *atom list* as is what happens when editing the 

text buffer of a message box from the UI.

However, there might be some way to accomplish this that I'm 

overlooking (fromsymbol or something). Personally, I've never had the 

need to do this, so someone else might be able to offer additional 

insight if they've found a way to communicate an "A_COMMA" atom to 

the message box's prepend set message. Traditionally, there has been 

no support for sending A_COMMA or A_SEMI atoms through max patch cords.

So you're saying a simple backslash (as below) shouldn't work? I've been using it for quite a while now ;-)

Or do you mean there's no way to send the backslashed comma or backslashed semicolon as part of a message from within a js? I've not found a way to do that.

function bang()
{
	outlet(0, 1);
	outlet(0, 2);
	outlet(0, 3);
	outlet(0, 4);
}
