So, in a message, a spacebar character " " is used to separate different items in a list. Such as,
[item1 item2 item3 item4 item5 <

Is there any way to send a single item in a message with a space character in it?
Such as,
[item one <

I would assume this could be accomplished with something like,
[item <
|
[append (something) ]
|
[append one ]

I know file names in a web browser (and other places) use a certain number preceded by a "%" to denote a space but I don't know what this number is, or if it works in Pd.

Anybody else have a solution for this?
I would think it's pretty necessary for navigating folder structures on any modern machine.

You'd think it's necessary, but Pd isn't a fan of spaces. You can use the [list2symbol] external to put spaces in a symbol, and it seems to work for files and folders with spaces (at least for [soundfiler], anyway).

Thanks.
Exactly what I was looking for.
