Hi all, does anyone know if there is an object with which you can strip a specified character from a message before unpacking?

Here is my example: Say I have an IP address, four numbers seperated by a decimal 111.111.111.111 I want to have this IP sent into a message then stripped of its decimals leaving only 111 111 111 111 which is then sent to be unpacked and each number routed to one of 4x osc~.

Can anyone assist?

@merlinmonad There will be other, and probably better ways but here is a vanilla solution......
parse.zip

Use zexy/symbol2list

I was gonna suggest using [text] but didn't get as far as to implement it before @whale-av posted :D
As a footnote to his suggestion, be aware that [list-drip] is from the list-abs library (all vanilla abstractions) -> https://github.com/pd-externals/list-abs

Thank you for the responses guys! For some reason the Vanilla solution doesn't work for me, pd won't allow me to create a [list-drip]. It's throwing out an unknown function error.
The symbol2list worked perfectly though, thanks! I've been scratching my head trying to get the s2l object to work, as usual way simpler than I think.

@bocanegra Thanks! I didn't read your reply until after responding!

@merlinmonad [list-drip] is in the zip.
Just keep it in the same folder with parse.pd.
Maybe you didn't unzip the folder though?

@whale-av Thanks! Yeah it's working now.
