Ok, I see. I don't know the [netclient] object, but TCP networking objects like [netreceive -b] or [iemnet/tcpreceive] all output a stream of bytes. In your case, just collect the bytes into a list until you hit byte 13 (CR), then you can split the resulting list by byte 59 (";"). Now you need to convert each sublist to a proper Pd message:

Ideally, you know in advance which type you expect for each item. If you need an item as a Pd symbol, you can send the (sub)list to [list tosymbol], which will output a single Pd symbol - even if the string contains whitespace! If the item is numeric, you can pass it to [fudiparse], which wil output a Pd float.

Otherwise, you can just pass the (sub)list to [fudiparse] unconditionally, but a string like "Affectiva AFFDEX Landmarks" will yield a Pd message with 3 symbols, because whitespace is the delimiter for Pd message atoms. You can catch this with [list length]: if the resulting Pd list has more than 1 item, this means that a string originally contained whitespace and you can concatenate the symbols (if needed).

In your case, you can actually just pass the *whole* message to [fudiparse] and it will automatically split it into invididual Pd messages (because ";" happens to be the FUDI message delimiter), but watch out for the problem with whitespace in strings as described above.

Hope this helps!

I would like to use data of biosensers in pd. They are coming via tcpip from a data collecting software called iMotions ( https://imotions.com/?creative=287840870074&keyword=imotions&matchtype=b&network=g&device=m&gclid=Cj0KCQiAnL7yBRD3ARIsAJp_oLZFxXz6JiAVeJxfYrWYUf_CVE5qN7Dvsw5NCCDyX4Nwz2BXcSU_Rw8aAj3jEALw_wcB

Every item of the list is separated with ; which makes it unusable for me in pd. Putty shows symbols, integers and floats. Wireshark shows hex, as I assume. Only [netclient] in pd did show numbers, but only one after the other and was heavily busy. The trial to print it to the console freezed pd.

Maybe there is way to do the conversation outside pd, but not for me, caused by being only a patcher.

Any help apriciated and thank you in advance

    You can represent *any* string in Pd as a list of bytes and
    convert from to Pd symbols with [list fromsymbol] / [list
    tosymbol]. What do you need to do exactly?

    Has anyone of you an idea, how i can get a string like the the
