Sorry, I can't use ASCII text as communication method, since I plan to

as much as possible. Compared to streaming bytes, ASCII is inefficient
up to a several orders of magnitude.
Is there a method for correct endianness in Pure Data, like these C
functions:
ntohs()--"Network to Host Short"
ntohl()--"Network to Host Long"
You can do that with Pd like this (ntohs):
[unpack 0 0]
| |
[* 256] |
| |
[+ ]
|
[ \
or
[unpack 0 0]
| |
| [* 256]
| |
[+ ]
|
[ \
for littleendian.
Floats are harder but still possible. The main difficulty is in
splitting the incoming stream in the right places. (I think ASCII is not
orders of magnitude slower, and it is also less ambiguous).

It's probably safer to get the server to send the numbers as ASCII
text, to avoid disagreements about endianness and floating-point
representation.
Then, to extract the numbers, you could use [moocow/bytes2any] or make
a custom parser using [pdlua].

Apparently [netclient] on the Pure Data side cannot receive nothing else
than ; delimited messages.
So the solution for the problem:
*My question is, is there a way to send something other than string
message to Pure Data, like byte-stream or serialized number stream? Can
Pure Data receive such messages?*
The solution is to use [tcpclient], it can receive byte-stream data.
Now I have another problem regarding the data read, on how to convert it
back to usable numbers.
From my UNIX server I am sending a structure
typedef struct {
int var_code;
int sample_time;
int hr;
float hs;
} phy_data;
Sample data might be 2 1000000 51 2000.56
When received and printed in Pure Data I get output like this:
>>>: 2 0 0 0 104 34 9 0 51 0 0 0 235 50 48 69
You can notice number 2 and number 51 clearly, I guess the others are
correct as well. Might be some network inversion of LSB/MSB.
*How can I get these numbers back to a usable format and get them in
separate variables?
