Hello!
Noob question.
I am using pd vanilla and receiving messages using [netreceive] from python. I can do operations on numbers, but can I do the same with strings or words that I receive over the network?
Here is what I want to do-
If (string) = dspOn
Then turn dsp on.
Please help!

@flight453 Yes.
[select] and [route] will select and route floats if their arguments are floats....... and symbols if their arguments are symbols...... but they cannot be "mixed"... except that rejected tags will go to the right outlet.
You can separate floats and symbols using [route float symbol] though.

The bangs are not necessary as [select] sends a bang...... just for show....
