Yeah, sounds cool indeed. If you want to try it in the Pd-extended
builds, add the patch to packages/patches with a descriptive name and
the version of Pd is was diffed from. (just don't add it to the
0.39.2 release branch ;)
Those patches are automatically applied as part of the build system.
Your patch will have to play nice with the patches that are there.

Hi Martin,
many thanks for your initiative, it is greatly appreciated!
It would be extremely useful to also define some API for string
handling right from the start, to be able to use the string type in
externals... all those functionality that seems to be contained in
your str object.
best greetings,
Thomas
PS. It would be good to submit the patch to the sourceforge PD
project.

I have implemented a string type for Pure Data as well as a [str]
object that uses it. For it to work, pd needs to be patched. The
[str] is contained in a separate file but the infrastructural
changes are part of pd. I have attached a patch file for anyone
interested. If it is acceptable, where should I put it? I could
check str.c into externals, but it won't build unless the source
is patched...
The str object can join, split, load, save, drip, compare and
convert strings to other types. It should be useful for formatting
arbitrary strings for communication via byte-oriented objects such
as [comport] and [tcpserver], which can then talk to external
hardware (e.g. serial LCD or lanbox), for example terminating
strings with CR LF instead of semicolons.
Other potential applications of the string type that I haven't yet
implemented are math using very long integers and row-by-row image
processing.
