I know this probably falls into the category of string discussion, but I'm interested if there are any solutions to this currently employable:
I have a symbol that I'm splitting up in order to extract numerical content from the text. I'm using zexy's s2l for this, then routing the float data back into l2s to assemble a value. But l2s only spits out a symbol, and I can't seem to find any object to reinterpret the symbol as a float. Even using list trim to remove the symbol selector leaves me with a numeric message that pd still refuses to interpret as such. [float] won't take it, nor will [t f], and [list] just turns it back into a symbol. I've attached a patch demonstating this issue. The only solution I can think of is to make a decimal interpreter to assemble my number rather than l2s (since s2l spits out the list as floats just fine), but that seems a bit silly. I look forward to the discussion : ). Luke
