I figured it out with a simple [list store] and a list iterator. I ended up filtering out all the semicolons and adding them back for each step of the list that will actually be driven by the clock (the one at the bottom).

I'm making a step sequencer interfacing with an old Launchpad, to be run on a Raspberry Pi - working pretty well so far although doing this all in Vanilla is quite a challenge!

Unfortunately I may have rejoiced too fast. The thing is I want to be able to dump lists at any index, which [text define] does not allow!

@jameslo Amazing! thank you so much for that solution. Never would have thought of using [text define]. Now it behaves the way I want.

I'm currently building a sequencer, and am trying to implement a step repeat function. The way I figured I could do this is by having a text object where each step is repeated as many times as desired on its line, e.g:

It works fine if the text is defined manually: I can cycle through message index and see that they indeed correspond to their slot as defined by commas.

I get into trouble whenever I try to populate that list: the resulting text object sees the commas as symbols and each line is taken as its own message.

How do I convert the list and its commas to end up with one message per comma-separated integer when using ```
text get?
