i see


the resulting output from [netreceive -u 3001] will be:

udp: "01 2 3 4 05.txt"
 Are you sure? Because I get

1 2 3 4 05.txt

yes, i am sure, at least for my system (Win7 / PD 0.51.4).
see attached .jpg.
(i'm getting the same truncations without the quotes btw.)


which is what I would expect. The float atoms are properly serialized
to their string representation (Pd doesn't remember the original
text!) and "05.txt" is actually a symbol.

is there any way to sent such a symbol untruncated using the methods
above,
 If you want to send it as a single symbol, that's possible, you just
have to escape the whitespace:

"01\ 02\ 0003\ 004\ 05.txt"

thank you very much, that was a pointer in the right direction !
i figured, since the white spaces by themselves where transmitted correctly, i wouldn't have to worry about them, but literally escaping white spaces within my .tcl script (by forcing a backslash before every white space) seems to do the trick !
