I have a patch where I have message with a set of numbers, say 059. I want to be able to convert this to a symbol (so I can eventually split it into a list 0 5 9 using symbol2list).

When I use [makesymbol], [ftos] or similar, the leading zero is lost, displaying 59. Is there a way to split a message of floats (with no seperator) into a list including this first zero?

Thanks, Hemmar

Just came across this and thought I might as well throw my own app into the mix. Its called androidome and is a monome emulator for android. i'm sure there are a few monomers on this forum who use monomes with pd so it might be of interest...
