Hello,

I have been trying for a couple of days to connect PD to another application via TCP/IP messages (and so far so good for that part).

BUT, the receiving app does not interpret anything ending in ";", and PD doesn't accept escape characters.

How do I remove this character in a way that is acceptable by netsend? I have been looking at string manipulation, but have no progress.

Would really appreciate any pointers that would help me progress. I have searched right-left-and-center to no avail (maybe not formulating the right question---).

Thanks in advance!

Anyone? i've been looking at TCP/UDP bridges to filter the messages, but it still seems I'm missing something basic. It also would avoid adding more processes to the data flow. any pointers are much appreciated.

Why not try something on the other applications end?

Also, saying what the other application is may help.

You could try striping the last character of the incoming stream as a hackish way to fix this.

Is [netsend] adding the semicolon itself? I've never actually used it. If so, maybe you can try [udpsend] or [tcpsend] from the mrpeach library.

Yes, netsend adds the semicolon itself, which surprised me (this is not an issue when communicating within PD).

So the workaround was: tcpsend, and sending the strings+character combination through any2bytes.
