I'm having some problems with text objects. I'm putting symbols into them one after the other and then dumping then later on to use, quite simple. However the text object seems to be automatically adding a white space at the end of each symbol input. I haven't posted an example here but if you open the help patch for text you'll see it does this. First question is there a way to stop this?

If not I'll need to do a check on dump to see if each symbol output has whitespace at the start (just in case) and end. I did build a solution using strchr, strrchr and strrcut like so (the first valid character in my symbol is always < and the lat is >):

which works well on short strings but crashes max on long ones, (I suspect there is a length limitation similar to zl here?). Is there a way to search for the first < and the last > and then trim?

text object, whitespace and stripping it
