Hi,

I'm trying to record a timecode + a file-path with spaces using [textfile]

example:

22450 /Users/Nico/my great directrory float float symbol float symbol float

When I [unpack] before [textfile] I get what I need:

f= 22450 s= /Users/Nico/my great directrory etc...

But when I [unpack] after replaying the file.txt using [msgfile] I can't figure out how to get the same, right now I get this:

f= 22450 s= /Users/Nico/my s= great s= directory etc...

any idea ?

cheers,
Nicolas

to get the float, then list2symbol in zexy to get the symbol from the list

Thanx sebfumaster!

I finally managed to do it:

The workaround was to encode everything before writing to TXT using a random unused character: §

ENCODING for every symbol before packing=
| |
[s2l] [s2l]
[l2s §] [l2s §]
| |
[pack s s ... ... ... ... ]
[msgfile]

DECODING for every symbol after unpacking =
|
[msgfile]
[unpack s s ... ... ... ... ]
| |
[s2l §] [s2l §]
[l2s] [l2s]
| |

hope it can be useful for someone someday
