As long as its a float, it'll be converted to the simplest form. So 0 is the simplest form of 00. The same would happen with 0.0000. So if you need 00 in a symbol, you'll need generate it by some other method first, like sending the list [0 0( to [list2symbol].
If you are using this for MAC addresses or other similar numbers, they usually consider 0 and 00 the same thing. .hc On Wednesday, November 02, 2011 6:06 PM, "rolf meesters" <[email protected]> wrote: > hi, > > i'm using > > [symbol2list -] > | > | [symbol( > | | > | > [list2symbol] > > on something like 00-ab-87-02. > the result becomes 0ab872. > so, i'm losing the leading zero's. > > in other words the symbol '00' is handled like a number, > probably any symbol that looks like a number is immediately treated like > that. > which, in the case above is unexpected (at least for me). > > would it then be necessary, working with texts, always to check if one's > not accidentally losing zero's? > > rolf > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list > _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
