Using [textedit] to write text into [coll]
I have been working on this for hours and have not made any progress. So I figured I'd post it here and see if anyone has any ideas and/or can point out something I'm missing.
Essentially what I am trying to do is create a patch where you can type anything into the [texedit] object and have it stored in the [coll]. This could be a word or a single sentence. I've used the help files as a starting point in the hopes that keeping it simple would get to the desired result. Within the patch, you can type whatever into [textedit] and then hit enter for it to be stored in the [text] object.
From there, I cannot get the two elements to be store correctly and placed inside of a [message] that can be sent to the [coll]. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.
as soon as spaces are involved i would [tosymbol] the stuff in order to write it into a coll.
textedit can be a real beast, which somehow never does what people think. use [printit] to check what it is actually outputting.
yes, if one enters only spaces, textedit outputs bangs, and anyway one should be able
to delete lines as well...
I dislike counter option, and prefer insert, which puts new lines on top, as if ypu insert lines in text object
Thanks everyone! After some more experimentation and the examples here, I was able to make exactly what I had in mind. I really appreciate the help.
I honestly forgot some of the essential objects I would need for this, so this was a great refresher.
