unpack for text?
Hi,
I'm making a patch which fetches some info from an external text-file with several colums, a simple example would be:
01 text1
The complete line is imported in max and unpacked.
However, if i route this through unpack (unpack 1 2) i get "01" and "0" - is there a way to actually output this second argument as the original text?

You tried [unpack 1 s] or something similar, didn't you?
ej
i'm not sure why you would get "01", unpacking an int would return 1, "01" is a symbol, not an integer.

Beside [unpack 0 s] you can also use [zl slice 1] if you have varying
types of list elements and don't want to change them...
If you want to unpack a lot of elements, have a look at my unpacker
abhaXion, its based on zl slices... (at cycling/share)
