The semicolon seems to cause an "no such object" error (even if a tosymbol

is before the regexp). Any explanations why?

You probably won't be able to do what you want. Semicolon in message 

boxes are used to send messages to receive objects:

boxes are used to send messages to receive objects:

It is documented somewhere in the documentation, and used extensively 
for sending messages to Max itself.

As Trond mentioned, a single semicolon means something special to 

Max. If you want to work with semicolons as text, you need to prepend 

them with "", like you have inside of your regexp object. You seem 

to have uncovered a different problem though (maybe), because I would 

have expected this patch to work properly, and it doesn't. Will look

I was just being lazy using a message box to input text that was being

parsed by regexp. Works fine reading in a file except that regexp will not

output the entire file (stripping html tags) It works fine using regexp @re

@substitute " ". Is there somehow a limit of 256 characters that can

be processed? I originally tried jit.regexp but it also seemed to have

problems with very very long lines with no line breaks.
