I am getting a stream of messages of individual ASCII character values from a comport object.

I would like to combine the messages to form a line of text, perhaps using using the select object to look for a carriage return.

How can I do this easily? (I can imagine a complex line buffer using tabwrite/tabread and an array, but there must be an easier way).

Thanks!

Ah yes, I see now you can use

to accumulate messages going into its left input by using a [t l] to feedback the output of into its right input, and clear the accumulation with a [bang>

This is well documented in "example 1: simple rhythmic sequencer".

Thanks!
