Hi there,

Let's say I've got a symbol "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwvyz" and I want to output

abcdefgh
ijklmnop
qrstuvwx
yz

ie. split it into subsequent symbols of 8 characters.

My goal is to display long file names across several lines of an oled display (the Organelle, in fact).

Any hints ?

Thanks !

Louis

@chapelier-fou There might be other ways, but this will do it........ octal.pd
You will need to add more messages to [list tosymbol] bits for longer filenames.

Here's the patch: test.pd

Thank you very much both of you, it was much more simple than I expected !
