here i am again with a question
im looking for an atoi like object (or a way do convert ascii to int in vanilla) that works on both osx and rpi, i installed zexi but for some reason only the atoi help file is included but the object itself is not there. if anyone have any leads id be super greatful!

@francis666 You can use this: ascii2int.pd

@ingox thanks! does not seem to work for me tho? i get a "trigger: can only convert 's' to 'b' or 'a' when i try to input text to the inlet...

@francis666 My patch is for lists of Ascii values. How does your input look like?

@ingox just plain text as in "hello world". maybe i misunderstood? im looking for something that will convert text to integers

@francis666 What would be "hello world" as integers?

that would be "104 101 108 108 111 32 119 111 114 108 100"

@francis666 Check out [list tosymbol] and [list fromsymbol]:

@ingox amazing! not sure how i missed it thank you!
