This must be something so simple, but im new at max and can't seem to manage to do it

How do I pass from a text like the one below to a patch??

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

I cant paste it!!

I open a new patcher on max5 and then i cant use the paste function there...do i have to configure something??

I have tried "New from clipboard" but it only opens a window with the text exactly as I copied it...no objects apeared...

make sure all the text was copied, including the begin_max5 and end_max5 statements. then just paste.....

OK i managed to do it...I tought i wouldn't had to copy also the headline and botton line of the code

This two lines:

----------begin_max5_patcher----------
-----------end_max5_patcher-----------

Lol...tank you all for the quick answers...the topic can be removed if the moderator feels so.

If you want to rofl, you can also select the complete post including all
that prosa and paste. Max 5 is mart enough to ignore all but what is
between

----------begin_max5_patcher----------
-----------end_max5_patcher-----------

This only doesn't work if there is more than on patch in the post... (rare)
