Re: [PD] symbolatom: why does it not allow to type spaces?

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 08:28:07 -0800

if the situation with the symbolatom doesn't change i'd like to make a workaround where preferably [entry] is used, but if not available it will fall back to the symbol atom. is it possible to detect somehow if entry is loaded sucessfuly?

When I asked about spaces in symbols on the pd-dev list Miller's reply
was: "1. spaces in symbols are a parsing/formatting problem, not a data type problem." So that would indicate that he sees it as a problem that 
must be fixed. Be good if someone could submit a nice clean patch to
fix the parsing problem and see if he accepts it.
Another similar reply to the issue of symbol table saturation was "2. use arrays as strings as I proposed;" which isn't currently possible in your use-case because the symbol input box itself won't let you input spaces 
to even get them into an array.

Best,

Chris.
