Coming back to this thread after some time. I'm trying to check whether a given argument to an external I'm writing starts with "@" or if it is actually "@sync", but can't seem to make it work. Can't really understand how t_symbol works. I'm iterating though the arguments with int argc and t_atom *argv and if there are the right number of arguments, I'm retrieving the argument that's supposed to be "@sync" with atom_gensym(argv);
I don't know how to compare that to a hard-coded string, like "@", or "@sync". I tried comparing straight to these strings, tried strcmp(), but I don't know how to do this, and couldn't find examples online. Any hints?
