Is there a way to change a message box with multipule $ symbols in it so that there is no spaces between the added elements.

ie in a message box with two $ symbols in it get: 'testtext' instead of 'test text'

Any New Zealand Pure-Data users on this forum?

I am trying to make a patch that records when a certain level of sound is detected and stops when the level drops. I have tried using threshold~ but it seems somewhat temperamental. Sometimes it will trigger on and stay on, even after all sound above the threshold level has died away and the debounce(?) period has elapsed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks

Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes I have had some luck with [env~] on my PC, yet it does not work properly on PDa. (http://gige.xdv.org/pda/ ). This is why I was looking at using [threshold~].

I am pretty certain the answer to this is - No. Max MSP is the only equivalent that works on that OS. If you are looking to use free software I would suggest using older versions (2.something) of Supercollider. It should be noted though that Supercollider does not have visual processing power of the likes of GEM.
Hope that helps
