I need to format a message so that it is prepended with a semicolon in order to configure an array. How do I do this in Vanilla?

e.g, [; tableName 0 1 2 3 4(

I am able to get [tableName 0 1 2 3 4( but can't figure out how to prepend with ";"

Any leads?

I do not know how to format ";", I think it is very difficult because it ends a message in Pure Data.
But you could just use [array set] and set the array name into the second inlet...

not sure, if i really got you, but here are two different ways, to set values in an array.
the first on creates a message and finally bangs it.
the second one uses send. you could setup the message according to the first way too.

@toxonic - you get me. nice solution. thanks.

@ricky cheers, mate!

Ahh, addsemi is it, I forgot about that...
